[Ah. Now it makes sense, now he can see what Garrus means, and there's a thoughtful little hum low in his throat.]
It'd be okay if it were all of us, then.
[It really is hard to say no to, especially with the reassurance that it's not that he isn't wanted. The potential of having anything with both of the people he's attracted to is-- well, there are ways it could get awkward, but it could be good too.]
[There's a little wryness mixed into his voice. Now all he has to do is talk to Noh. That can't go complicated at all. But if it might mean that Noh-Varr doesn't need someone else, just agrees to things with a third every now and then instead, then it's worth the difficulty the talk will bring. And the difficulty that will arise when Noh asks why and Garrus has to admit that he's having trouble with the concept of not being exclusive.]
That'll be easy.
[After these murders are solved, he'll talk to Noh. And there's always a possibility of something else coming up, something big, considering the way this place works, but he needs to do this. He can't let the issue get so big that it builds into a problem.]
[He offers Garrus a small smile, one he hopes comes off as encouraging as it's meant to, as he reaches up to brush his fingertips along the side of the turian's face.]
But for now, if you don't mind me weighing you down a little longer...
[Then he's comfortable, and he'd very much like to stay there. Maybe doze a little, that'd be nice.]
[Everything seems on the brink of falling apart. Shepard's grounded, Liara's missing, Garrus might blow up his thing with Noh-Varr instead of fixing it, there are people dead... and for once Garrus gives into the temptation to hide away. He can't take more on right now, he can't stress further. His voice is hushed when he speaks, though his mandibles flicker against Ryan's fingertips.]
Prefer to lay down too, if you don't mind. Just so I'm a little more comfortable myself.
[How long can he take to ignore the world? Not long. But he needs it and knows it. With Ryan's permission, Garrus will be shifting back to stretch out, still holding the human. Farrow is warm and soft, and at least Garrus hasn't failed this friend just yet.]
[Ryan shifts with him, then makes himself comfortable-- for all that he can be awkward about initiating contact, once he's sure it's welcome he has fewer reservations. He's just going to end up practically wrapped around Garrus, long limbs draped over him like some sort of human starfish clinging on. He's serious about cuddling, okay.]

If he's willing, then- let me know, yeah?
