Zachariah is sneaking back to the thermal pools for a chance to have a dip. Something like that has got to be good for his healing bones but he rather not be caught with his pants around his ankles, literally. Hopefully no one would be there. Unfortunately he just isn't that lucky. Someone is there, a very familiar someone. It's the same someone who tried eating off his face not too long ago.
Zachariah freezes. He still doesn't know whether that thins was only infected or if it was something else completely. If he was in better shape he might just ask, but he's not. Right now he's injured and being far more careful than he normally is so instead he's going to try to hide.
[He doesn't really notice. Not at first. He's trying to crane his head enough to examine his scars in the water. It's not really successful. Eventually, he gives up...]
[And that's when the human's attempt to hide catches his attention. Garrus jumps, his head snapping around and one hand subconsciously going for a weapon... that isn't there.]

[Zachariah hears movement and swears to himself silently. It must have seen him. He wonders briefly if he can outrun it since he doesn't have much of a chance of fighting it off. Too bad his pistol only fires pellets...and is completely out of ammo. He really, really needs to stop wondering off without backup.
For now he looks for something that he might be able to use as a weapon. All he can find though is a stick. Not choice weaponry but hey, it's something at least. He doesn't move from his hiding spot though. Maybe if he stays quiet long enough it will just lose interest and he can sneak off.]

[Garrus sits very still in the water. Whoever is over there doesn't seem to want to come any closer. Which doesn't bode well. He's unarmed, and his armor is well out of reach.]

[Garrus doesn't leave the water, but he does glance around for something resembling a weapon. Even so... he can't help but tilt his head skeptically at that question.]
Isn't that kind of a stupid question to ask, given the conversation?
[Zachariah breathes a sigh of relief and steps out from his hiding place dropping his stick. Although with his arm still in a sling and his ribs still healing there probably isn't much he could have done with it.]
Okay well, I don't know what that is but I'm just going to take your word for it.

[After the human steps out, Garrus falls quiet, noting the sling, the way the other man moves. Injured. Not surprise. Then, he sort of gestures to himself.]
My people. If any of us tried ingesting anything from your planet, let alone you, it'd probably kill us quicker than a gun to the head.
[Probably. Some just got violently sick. But it's true enough, for the most part.]

[He drops his gaze at that, studying the water instead. Honestly, he's ducked down far enough in the water already that he figures everything's well-covered.]

[Well then. There's one option.]
Who's there?

Zachariah pokes his head out to look at it. He still doesn't exactly trust it.]
You can talk?
[Because that hasn't been established already.]

It (he?) seems to be looking for something. Is he going attack after all?]
Well, you weren't exactly talkative the first time we met.
[You kind of tried to eat him after all.]
Reply
[Except... to drop his face into his hands.]
... Not exactly my choice.
Reply
[And you're not going to try and eat him?]
Reply
[It's a definite 'yes', from the way he refuses to pull his face out of his hands.]

[This part is really important Garrus.]

I'm turian. Even if I wanted to, and I don't, I couldn't.

Oh.
[That makes sense he guesses. What are the chances that an alien would eat the same kind of food?]
Glad you didn't take a bite out of me then.
Reply
... Yeah. Guess that's something.
