[It's... practical. It's what Noh's always been and Garrus has sometimes struggled to be. And while Garrus doesn't like the point Noh is making, he can't argue some of it. They can't afford to endanger the crew by not cooperating. They can only care for what's theirs. But at the same time...]

We're not causing those realities to collapse. We'll be the cause of death here. There's a difference. But...

[Garrus sighs, looks away. Can he really blame someone for having a safer outlook? Can he be upset because one of the people he cares about is going to clearly manage dealing with Ajna and Garrus won't have to worry there? Noh's gone a little tense and Garrus leans in to touch their foreheads together.]

It's not like there's a choice. You... Are you just all right with it? I mean, there's not...

[He takes a breath. He doesn't even really know what he's asking.]

Sorry. You're the first person in my, hah, group, that's been all right. And I know without even checking on some of the others that they're not.

[And so he has to worry about them, worry about what happens if they go too far, wonder who he's going to see put up as an object lesson next. His real worry is that he's going to see Shepard there soon.]
