[ The more Garrus talks, the angrier Noh-Varr becomes, until eventually he discards the emotion altogether. It's too much anger, too much to care about in one fell burst, the implication too large. They're expendable, their captain and instructors centuries old, unfathomable. It does him no good to dwell on what-ifs. Shepard was made a Grey and her crew still lives. He'll focus on that.
He lets Garrus pull him towards the bed, and they fall on the edge together. Garrus is still taller, but it's easier this way for him to tuck his head gently against Garrus' keel.
At his Orange assessment, he'd spoken to Warriorhead about the oath sworn by Kree cadets. The first part goes: Sentient beings are numberless. I vow to save them all. On the scale of an entire species, it represents the moral responsibility of the Kree to strike down their enemies, to gathering other living things into the Empire, and to destroy foreign gods with reason and science. On the scale of a single Kree soldier, its means protecting the citizens of the Empire, protecting one's crew and, in a secondary capacity, the self.
He can't save sentient life. But he can do what he can to save these people, this ship. He owes it to himself to try. ]
Promise me you'll keep yourself safe. [ When the time comes. Because it will come. Neither of them can deny it now. ]
