I think it's getting to him, what we're doing to the Neraki. Especially the young ones.
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
Watch over him.
no subject
It is. He was angry with me earlier for killing them, too.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
I'll do everything I can. You've got my word on that.
no subject
Thank you. I know I can count on you.
[ It's sincere. He thought of bringing this to D'Artagnan, but the fact is that he just doesn't trust the other Artillery lead as much. There's tension here, sure, but Garrus is a known quantity.
There's a few minutes' stretch before the next message comes in. ]
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
I'm glad to see you're all right.
no subject
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Likewise. I know you've got this handled. Doesn't mean I'm not still glad each time you make it out. If you need anything...
no subject
I know who to call.
[ He wishes he could say that he misses the Turian, but he doesn't want to manipulate or create guilt. Garrus chose what was best for him, and Noh-Varr can't fault him that. They both needed the space.
Another few minutes go by. He isn't sure if he should mention this, but there's really no one else on this ship who knows. ]
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
Did you see any familiar faces?
no subject
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
A few. Mordin's back, with no memory of before but I'm not surprised at this rate. Only person who has remembered is Clary Fray, and I saw her again too. She's not Normandy, but she's a friend.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
And then there was a pair of Normandy crew who haven't been with the crew before - Joker, our pilot, you should try him for joke wars. He's pretty damn good at that. And Ashley Williams.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Strange but good to see Ash. That's four out of the main five we've lost that the CDC's recruited and I've seen again. Just have to run into Pressley now. You?
no subject
Ashley Williams? I met her, as well. Why 'strange but good'?
[ He suspects why, but he'd rather not assume. ]
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
I met Captain America. The one from my world.
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
He's the one who exiled me from Earth.
no subject
She's dead. Around two years ago. The Normandy's first loss to the reapers.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
How did that go?
no subject
Better than I thought it would. Better than I'd hoped.
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
I think I needed that meeting.
no subject
Yeah? I'm glad you had it, then. What happened?
no subject
Nothing remarkable, just--you know how you tend to blow up the image of someone in your mind, when you haven't seen them in a long time?
no subject
Yeah. They can get more intimidating. More powerful than they should be. He wasn't as bad as you thought he would be, obviously.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
You invited back to Earth?
no subject
I doubt the CDC will let us go, but...it's not a no.
no subject
Doesn't matter if you can go or not. It's the end of exile that matters. I'm glad for you.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
And who knows. Maybe you'll make it to your 800th birthday and they'll decide you're done, you've done enough.
no subject
That's optimistic. I don't want to imagine myself at 800.
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
But thank you, Garrus.
no subject
You'd probably be all wrinkles. Wouldn't even be able to make out your nose. That's what skin does.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
You're welcome, Noh-Varr.
no subject
Rude. Your carapace will probably be completely discolored before you're 200.
[ That he's teasing is a testament to how much he's cheered up since the start of this conversation. ]
no subject
It'll be so silver I'll be able to blind people. Use it as a backup weapon on bright, sunny days.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
I'd say your hair will go white by the time you're at your first century, but...
no subject
That's just a human thing. Get your facts straight.
[ WOW DON'T BE RACIST. ]
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
Do turians actually gain patina with age?
no subject
So what, it'll start falling out at a hundred, then?
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
We tend to get more silver as we get older, yeah. I mean, some are born pretty silver or light grey already, but generally we have more color when we're younger.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Browns, red-browns, black, dark grey, there's a decent mix. I was born more brown than I am now.
no subject
I won't fall out. It'll just lose luster with age until it becomes dull.
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
Don't suppose you have any pictures...?
no subject
I'll find paint, make sure it never gets too dull. I'm thinking orange and green. At the same time.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Yeah, I have a few saved, old family pics. You actually saying you wanna come see baby pictures of me?
no subject
Are you ACTUALLY volunteering to show me baby pictures?
[ Yes. That's a yes. ]
no subject
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Yeah, sure, come on over and see baby pictures.
no subject
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
All right. See you in a minute.
[ WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO NOW. ]
