[He looks back at Tali as she studies him. They never see each other like this. To see a quarian isn't entirely strange, there's vids where some take off their helmets, he's seen some geth records from before when the quarians left Rannoch, but he's only once before seen Tali.

Garrus' mandibles flicker once the mask is on, a little amusement, a little sadness. If she'd been from around his time, would she have had geth programming in her suit already, rebuilding her immune system?

So. Scars just as horrific in regular lighting as purple lighting? Or are they worse? I'd lean toward the latter. You have no idea how many krogan women I had to fend off last time we went to Tuchanka. That tends to say something.
