[Thankfully he's stammered and stumbled through words enough in his life to follow that a little. Garrus' words back before Selena. That he'd been looking for just casual then, and he and Ryan had even flirted there... And then Ryan's dropping the bomb that yes, he does like Noh, but he likes them both, and if that isn't something Garrus never saw coming, nothing is.]

Uh. Okay.

[He doesn't know where to start, but he gives it a go anyway.]

I... I'd been looking for just casual. Yeah. I didn't, I wasn't misleading you or something. But then Noh was...

[There's a beat, and Garrus shrugs.]

Noh. And it got complicated. Thought there was gonna be something else in the way too, turns out there wasn't. And I thought maybe you were curious, friendly curious, not creepy curious, and didn't figure it was more than that.

[He takes a breath.]

I'm not telling you to go away or something. I mean, I'm here letting you use me as a pillow. A really jagged pillow. I just don't know how any of this is gonna look in a week, in a month, that sort of a thing.

[And he can't ask Ryan not to sleep with Noh. It wouldn't be fair to the kree or the human. If this is the angle it comes from... No. Garrus can't think like that, not yet.]

It's complicated.
