I was just checking in, Garrus. If there's something else you need you can let me know.
no subject
Right, okay. You're just normally not so short with things. But text doesn't always say everything, so all right.
no subject
I'm sticking to what's professional. That's what you want, isn't it?
no subject
No. No, it's not. You've known me for a few months. Why would you take one conversation out of all of that as meaning I don't want friendship too?
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Am I missing some sort of cultural context here? There something I said, some way I said it, that meant what you're seeing?
no subject
You mean aside from how you're afraid you'll be punished by association? I thought you were very clear.
no subject
If I was worried about that I wouldn't still be friends with Shepard, d'Artagnan.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
You're a good guy and I like you. And I got worried. I'm sorry that you got the wrong idea.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
...Friendship-like. Just so that's clear.
no subject
If you weren't worried about it, then you shouldn't have said it.
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
The only reason I'm here is because I care what happens to the people I love, Garrus. I've done things that I can't bear because of that, and I'll keep doing it, so I don't need you to remind me.
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
Are we clear?
no subject
Because that was where your head was with the shai?
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
People get rash. I've done it, you've done it. I'm not ending friendships because people are people. What I am doing is talking to people when it might help, because I needed that before too.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
I know you'll do the job. And I know it's not easy. That's what support's for and why I'm glad I've got a co-leader. A check and a balance.
no subject
You don't know where my head was with the Shai. You didn't see me until after I'd already done my duty.
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
You are not my check and balance, and I don't need you to interject for me. If I want to talk, I'll come to you. You're my co-lead, not my commander.
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
If you're also my friend, you should trust me not to go too far. Because you should know that protecting my world means everything to me. If you didn't know before, I'm telling you now.
no subject
So if your friend was upset you'd leave them alone and expect them to find you when maybe they're not thinking straight. That's what you're saying?
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
I know Athos means more to you than anyone else, not comparing, but using him for an example - if he got upset and could be in danger, would you just watch?
no subject
No, Garrus. I'm telling you it's not your place to tell me to stop talking.
no subject
Pretty sure I said to rant to friends and not at Gliese, instead of stop talking.
no subject
Either way, I don't need you to tell me off for it. You wanted to know what bothered me; well, that's what did. Can you accept that, or are we going to argue over semantics?
no subject
Yeah. Can you accept that's not how I meant it to come across?
no subject
He'd only have to go and find it later. ]
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
Yes. I can accept that.
no subject
Thanks.
[At least, he thinks, that's one thing he hasn't completely messed up. Now he has to go see about messing up something else with someone else, but before he does...]
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
How was your drop point? Less than professionally speaking.
no subject
Tiring, but we survived. They stopped chasing us once we reached the trees. I'll feel better once I've had a shower.
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
Yours?
no subject
Showering was the first thing I did when I got here. The shower rover's back, so that might mean less of a wait for you. Don't know who you have in your rover; I've got three people with long hair.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
And once we got done with the butterflies things were easier. Still had people sick, but it wasn't as bad as sharks, in my opinion.
no subject
I have Alina, but I haven't found h
[ Yes, that text literally cuts off midsentence. It's swiftly followed by another. ]
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
Did you say butterflies?
no subject
Biting, poisonous, sharp-winged, carnivorous butterflies. Swarms. Sniping them didn't work well, but the gauntlet did. Calling it a bugzapper now. Definitely missed the landsharks, not the cold.
no subject
So don't trust the butterflies. I suppose that's good to know. Are you sure you're all right?
no subject
Lost some blood and had to deal with crossing a canal, got one more thing to figure out. Maybe two.
no subject
What do you mean? I thought you were safely in camp.
no subject
I'm safely in camp, yeah. As safe as camp will be, considering Ajna. But there's a pair of things I haven't been thinking about, been putting off.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
You feel like you know Armada at all?
no subject
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
I wouldn't claim to. What I know makes me glad to call him my Instructor, rather than the others. I trust his word.
Why?
