[ The idea of the crash course makes him laugh, so he decides to just be more straightforward with what he means. ]

Then I can only hope PKN7 can provide it! I would teach him myself, but he does not respond well to my tutelage in that area.

It's not even the mission. It should be. Then I wouldn't feel so self-centered.

I was seeing someone. Now I'm not. Got stupid and too involved, and I shouldn't have.

Sorry about that. Needed to get out of there.

Now? Another time?

Yeah.
[He shakes his head as he gets up, mandibles drawing close to his face.]
You're welcome, I mean. Sorry. You don't deserve me being short.
[Garrus takes a slow breath to focus himself and get a grip before nodding.]
So. First step. Understanding the weapon. You taken that apart yet?

Shepard's turned bigger kids around. Remind me to tell you about Zaeed Massani, someday. She can handle Ciel.

Do you want the stupid answer, or the rational one?

[ he's got nothing to worry about. his snappishness has got nothing on her shishou's. ]
Yeah. [ she nods with a slightly sheepish look. ] I have no idea what most of the parts do, but I know where they all go.
[ she taps her cuff and a little hologram doodle of the insides of her rifle--labeled in her shorthand with a lot of question marks--show up. ]
I made diagrams.
[ what a nerd. ]

The rational answer is that what I need is time, distractions, to not be thinking about it. That with those things I'll be fine.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
The stupid answer is that all I want to require is him. But I'm the one that ended it because it wasn't working, and it's not gonna work.

No fish if you do. She has a bad history with them.

Damn. Nicely done.
[No one else who he's taught guns to has done that much work.]
Let's run through that quickly, then.
[He leans forward and starts slowly walking her through the question-marked parts, taking his time so that she can follow and not get lost.]

[That's enough to jolt him out of his melancholy.]
Erin. Stop. Point the gun down.
[He's already up and moving as he speaks, surprised that she'd be so careless. Maybe he shouldn't be. But thankfully it means that his subharmonics are more in the 'ordering around' range of things instead of anything else, even if it's just for the moment.]

Oh, fuck.
[ There's a delay before her next message, too. She realizes a couple of things very quickly: 1) Noh probably isn't as broken up about this as Garrus is. 2) Garrus is probably heartbroken. 3) She'll need to talk to Noh later. 4) She probably needs to warn Hibari. 5) .... oh, fuck.
Inevitably, somewhat against her will, she remembers that cold night. When Noh's frozen blood on her face and neck made her skin burn, when Garrus's voice had thrummed with something awful she couldn't really identify, when they'd carried a corpse, a burden, a grief, together. She'd known then that Noh-Varr meant something truly special to Garrus, even if she isn't sure when exactly they started dating.
But Garrus is a nice person, and a sentimental one, to boot. And she's seen him before in a state where he was trying to keep it together and obviously hurting. He does a decent job at a facade, but you can tell: his heart's in pieces.
And knowing that makes Vriska's heart hurt, too. ]
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
Man. I'm sorry to hear that, Garrus. Genuinely.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
Listen, do you need company?
[ She's not good at comforting. But for Garrus, she'd try. ]
Oh, fuck.

Only if you don't mind. I'm not great company right now, Pilot.

[In her defense, she's accustomed to handling the sorts of weapons that don't go off without some significant intervention from their handlers, so don't be too hard on her Garrus.
Erin pulls up short and faintly wide-eyed when Garrus barks at her--that's a new range of subharmonics she doesn't need a translation from him to figure out--but she does adjust her hold on the gun so it's aimed safely at the ground instead of god knows where else.]
