[He's cool on the field. He's not cool when it comes to personal matters.]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Ino's got her sights on you next. You can suggest someone and I can help there, or I can just let her go all out.

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Your call.

[hahahorsejokes]

[ so he's discovered. ]

FROM: kirstein.jean@cdc.org
Ino can stuff it

FROM: kirstein.jean@cdc.org
besides is this really the place to be asking a girl out

[forgivetheinsubordination]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

We're here for a long time, Jean. We might have signed away our lives.

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that's why we haven't gotten to see the contract.

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

There might not be another place.

jackie did you just turn this stupid thread Real on me

[hahahorsejokes]

FROM: kirstein.jean@cdc.org
yeah but I could also end up going home
or reassigned
or dead

FROM: kirstein.jean@cdc.org
if anything happens to me I don't want to leave that much behind

It's a Mass Effect thing. Whoops.

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

There's a chance anything could go wrong. That's life. You could wind up home tomorrow, meet a girl, and then the CDC drops by your planet.

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Noh could get rated highly for his leading a mission and be assigned to another ship. I could trip and fall off a ladder and break my own damn neck.

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Don't stop living just because you're here and something might go wrong.

[hahahorsejokes]

FROM: kirstein.jean@cdc.org
I don't know
seems like too much to hope for

FROM: kirstein.jean@cdc.org
besides it wouldn't have worked out anyway
she's already got her sights set on someone

[ ... ]

FROM: kirstein.jean@cdc.org
also if you die falling off a ladder i will never let you live it down

[forgivetheinsubordination]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

I'm not gonna die falling off a ladder.

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Though now that I typed that...

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Who, Jean? And are you sure she's into someone else, or is it just a feeling?

[hahahorsejokes]

FROM: kirstein.jean@cdc.org
we're out here blowing up entire planets
if you die falling six feet off the ground...

[ while that message gets shot off quickly enough, the next one takes... several minutes. this is one (incredibly stupid) thing he still gets flustered about, but he trusts garrus, so, ]

FROM: kirstein.jean@cdc.org
have you met Mikasa before
Mikasa Ackerman

FROM: kirstein.jean@cdc.org
it's pretty obvious who she's interested in if you have

[forgivetheinsubordination]

I haven't met her.
Who is she into? What is it that you like about her?

[hahahorsejokes]

are you really interrogating me about this?
ugh

[ and then it takes a literal hour (or two) for the next message: ]

she's strong, smart, and gorgeous
more talented and prettier than anyone else back home
what's not to like

[ ... ]

besides her social skills I guess

[ and he's not even going to try and be subtle talking around that first question. ]

[forgivetheinsubordination]

[He waits patiently. There's no point in pushing. If Jean wants to talk, he will.]

Clearly I'm gonna have to meet her.
She sounds pretty impressive.
I'm sorry she's looking at someone else.

[hahahorsejokes]

You should. She's a soldier too, she'll have your back

[ ... ]

Just don't tell her any of this stuff

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Don't worry. I know better than to do that.
Question, though. Did Ino tell you not to tell me?
