[ !! He caught the mandibles flaring!! Red's amaze and awe could not be hidden at the sight of that. ]

Right. All pokémon are pokémon, but they're all different. [ And to bring up Green, with gestures that finally get Red to stop staring at Garrus's face like it's amazing- ] Like Charizard is a charizard, and Arcanine is an arcanine. Pokémon is just a catch all for anything that isn't a human.

[ He hums a small happy sound. ]

But you know, your name... it's nice, to me. I don't always think about my name, but the way I do, it makes me picture my father and my mother, and the hopes they had for me.

[ Which- may be sappy, and even Red looks slightly bashful this time, tipping his head slightly away, but he looks back up to Garrus with the smile still on his face. ]

Even if people have a name like yours, it's still the one they picked for you.
