10 - Action / Open
['Keeping to himself' was an understatement.]
[Garrus had, for all intents and purposes, dropped off the grid entirely. He was good at that. He'd done it once before -- and here, where there was nothing in the way of electronic paper trails, it was incredibly simple.]
[Just make sure you weren't seen, keep your journal shut, and there you go.]
[Ever since regaining his memories, he'd done just that. He was embarrassed, revolted. He'd failed his commander in the biggest way possible. He'd let Shepard down. Of all the things he'd done while crazed and infected, that was by far the worst. He couldn't face her. Not right now.]
[Right now, he's found his way to the thermal pools. To a turian, the heated water is probably one of the best things ever. He'd peeled off his armor, the clingy bits of fabric protection underneath, and just sank into the pools.]
[A good place to brood, and not freeze his alien balls off. Besides -- scales don't get wrinkly when they're in the water for too long.]

action GOD SHANE
[Well then. There's one option.]
Who's there?
action I'm sorry ;A;
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.]
action You should be
Isn't that kind of a stupid question to ask, given the conversation?
action I'll never be able to forgive myself
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.]
action You should try harder
[Except... to drop his face into his hands.]
... Not exactly my choice.
action I will do my best not to disappoint again
[And you're not going to try and eat him?]
action Good boy B)
[It's a definite 'yes', from the way he refuses to pull his face out of his hands.]
action
[This part is really important Garrus.]
action
I'm turian. Even if I wanted to, and I don't, I couldn't.
action
Okay well, I don't know what that is but I'm just going to take your word for it.
action
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.]
action
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.
action
... Yeah. Guess that's something.
action
Not like you killed me either so uh...don't uh, don't worry about.
[That is if this guy even cares.]
action
[He let Shepard down. Lost his mind, and tried to kill this stranger. Yeah, he cares. He's utterly humiliated.]
... Sure. Who's worried?
action
[Without really knowing this guy Zachariah can't tell if this guy really doesn't care or he just doesn't want to talk about. Either way Zachariah forgave him. His work here is done.]
