[forgivetheinsubordination]

You like what you like.
Are there any your age here?

[lespedeza]

Hey, I thought we agreed to work on your case first.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

We did.
But Jean just messaged me asking me if it was true that I was dating Noh-Varr.
Said you told him I was.
So if you think we're dating, then that wraps it up, yeah?

[lespedeza]

HE WHAT
I'M GOING TO KILL HIM
And for the record that's NOT what I told him!!!

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Do I want to ask what you said?

[lespedeza]

I didn't say anything about you actually dating him!!
Oh my god, I'm never telling that dumbass anything ever again.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

That's not ominously avoiding the question at all.

[lespedeza]

Oh my god, all I said was that you totally had a crush. That's it.
It's not my fault he can't keep his big mouth shut for once in his life.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

[It's not really a crush. More like a want. That's totally different. Right? But he doesn't know for sure, so he's not going to say that.]

Well. He's not a ninja.
And it's not like I exactly asked anyone to be secretive about it.
Just if someone could avoid blurting it out to Shepard, that'd be great.

[lespedeza]

Shepard?
Is something going on there?

[forgivetheinsubordination]

I would like to have my head on straight about Noh before my best friend finds out and sends me a barrage of questions.

[lespedeza]

What is there to get on straight? You're into him, aren't you?

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Yeah.
There's different sorts of into, though.
And she'll have a lot of questions.

[lespedeza]

So what kind of into is it, then?
I mean, I know nobody here is going to be getting married and making babies and stuff—at least not anytime soon or anything.
But don't you... what are you looking for?

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Originally it was gonna be simple.
No fuss. Relaxing.
Then he went and made it a little confusing.
And this is probably more than you ever wanted to hear from me.

[lespedeza]

Yeah, kind of.
But I don't know... I think it's kind of [ cute ] nice.
That you have someone here that you want something special with, I mean.
How did he make it confusing, though?

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Never been looked at the way he looked at me, earlier.
Stumbled over something I was saying, badly.
He laughed, but then he looked at me.

[And kissed him, but that is not getting typed. Ino doesn't want to read it, Garrus doesn't want her to have to.]

I don't know. It was something in his eyes.

[lespedeza]

[ THAT'S SO... CUTE... RAPTORMOM, YOU BIG SAPPY DOOF. ]

Wow, he's totally into you.
We definitely need to get you on a date.

[ ino... who is "we." ]

[forgivetheinsubordination]

I don't know for sure.
It was just a look.
A different look, but he didn't really say anything. He'd been busy laughing at first.
He's Kree. Who knows what their looks might mean? Could be a whole other level of cultural confusion going on.

[lespedeza]

Look, you won't know until you find out, right?
And if you like him, then it's probably worth finding out.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

And if trying to find out ruins what could have been nice and simple and uncomplicated?
What then?

[lespedeza]

Garrus.
You and I both know that nice and simple and uncomplicated is pretty much impossible.
And even if it wasn't, it definitely isn't going to happen if you two aren't on the same page.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

With turians it isn't.
We're pretty focused on keeping things tidy and simple.
And then I wind up the only turian in this place which makes everything a mess.
Point is, I don't think he wants to be on any page further in.

[lespedeza]

My point is, you don't know that for sure.
I mean, why wouldn't he want more? Sure, you kind of suck at everything flirting and your jokes are terrible, but he seems to actually like that. Do you know how crazy that is?
You need to lock it down now before he gets away.
Just think about it, okay?

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Damn. I thought I was bad at the whole encouragement thing.
But I'll think about it.
