Safezone? We can find a spot off to the side, have a drink or two in the corner.

Sounds good. I'll meet you there.

Sure. What's her name? And you mind if I ask what sort of partner?

I let nothing go.
[It's mostly true... but it's also meant far more as joking than threat. Garrus brushes his mandible against Ryan's temple in response to the nudge, just letting himself relax some. Shortly they'll both be out there again, working, searching, but a break is needed if Garrus is going to be much use.]
Especially when people team up against me. I do my job. And I'm here of my own volition, had the food and everything, I'd like to point out.
[Yes, he's also pushing himself, but he's not pushing as hard as he had on Ajna. He doesn't have to. The issues that had kept him from sleeping are still semi-present, but they're no longer causing him as much difficulty. Distance heals some things.]
Besides. Noh's probably working as hard as I am. We can just team up against you again.

[He's off to the side as promised, keeping an eye on comings and goings but distant enough that they'll have an illusion of privacy when Hanna drops by. Garrus has recovered a little, but he hates failing, hates the sensation of drowning, and knows that Hanna's got even more pressure than he does to do this well. She'd been required to go.
By the time she gets there, she'll find Garrus sitting with a pair of disposable cups, one with dextro brandy in hand, the other off to the side with some levo drink snagged from the kitchens.]

So is the AI of my ship. So are the geth. She's an AI soldier who works with you, though, I'm gonna guess now? Wouldn't think she'd need someone to look out for her if that's the case.

You wouldn't.
[Ryan wrinkles his nose, halfheartedly elbowing him in the side-- just enough to make the gesture clear, not enough to actually push him away. That's the last thing he wants to be doing at the moment.]
And okay, no, I don't have reason to worry about that yet-- but I still feel like I should point out you guys ganged up on me to make me get some rest. It'd be awfully hypocritical to make me let you two keep working the second time.
[He's relaxed enough, by now, to go ahead and make himself a little more comfortable; Ryan shifts to turn sideways, leaning on him a bit more heavily and swinging his legs over Garrus' lap. It's difficult for him to properly curl up against most people, given the usual height differences-- he's one of the few who's got enough height on Ryan for it to be possible, and there's no way he won't take advantage when he can manage it.]

[It's a novelty to have someone basically sitting on his lap, and Ryan gets a quizzical look at the position switch. There's no protest, though. As much as Garrus would deny needing any sort of touch, any contact, it's a lie. There's nothing quite like missing people and a grounded Commander to make Garrus feel isolated and a bit lost, and Ryan is clearly wanting to do this.]
So you're saying you think you could take on both of us? Really? Or is the plan to play us against each other?
[Then again, Garrus is more than willing to get some rest with Noh, and Ryan's probably very aware of that. The Kree makes an excellent pillow to curl up around.]
You can try it.
[And if it brought Noh over even more, the last thing Garrus would do is complain. Or complain and mean it, at least.]
In the meantime, looks like you're the one that's resting right now. So you're already failing when trying to take me on single-handed.

[Play us against each other-- that gets a quizzical look and a slow blink that's all too clear without him having to say a word. Why would he want to do that?
The rest, though, that gets another brief chuckle from him, and a little grin that's... well, okay, Ryan can't pull off smug. Pleased, in a slightly self-satisfied way.]
Not failing, employing alternative strategies. If you want to leave, you're going to have to make me get up, and I'm comfortable.
[...and then he pauses for a moment, thinks-- then goes ahead and picks back up with the train of thought that comment about taking on both of them had started.]
And I could take on both of you, I'm tall enough to take up two laps if I lie down. I'm not above a little bit of guilt-tripping if it'd keep you both there.

[Stretched out on both of their laps. Now there's a mental image that is distinctly not just a friendly sort, and Garrus glances away for a second to get that particular train of thought derailed.]
You know you're easy for either of us to pick up, right? I mean, Noh caught a piece of the crashtechs. A large piece. And you're human and therefore light.
[But his arm is now around Ryan as opposed to underneath. He's not actually complaining or trying to remove the guy.]
Surprised you're comfortable, too. I'm not the softest. Pointy in places.
