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. ]
no subject
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Pretty funny. You win this one.
[He thought only mothers liked baby pictures. He's so surprised. But it could still be bluffing.]
no subject
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
Oh. You weren't serious?
[ He was looking forward to it... ]
no subject
You were? You actually
[There's a short delay.]
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
I thought you were teasing me. But I have some. Have a genuine invitation to come see them, then. They're not that cute, so you're warned.
no subject
Ok. I'll be over in a minute. For real this time.
[ There's a knock on Garrus' rover door pretty much a minute later. Picture chicken, my ass. ]
no subject
This some sort of Kree thing? Wanting to see baby pictures? I was pretty sure only mothers did that sort of thing.
[He's amused, though, even with the surprise, and he pulls up the first one - two seated adult turians, one with fringe, one without, both with the same clan markings he wears, holding a tiny, fuzzy, curled up turian.]
Once upon a time I wasn't like twice your height and three times your weight.
no subject
[ Traditionally 'cute' things don't appeal to him. But finding out more about Garrus, about his youth, about his culture and planet--that appeals to Noh-Varr.
He takes a seat next to the turian, admiring the first picture. The fringed turian is obviously female; while he's never seen a female turian the lack of fringe on Garrus' mother somehow seems appropriate, making her look somewhat more delicate than her counterpart. Garrus himself is, well-- ]
Fluffy. You were fluffy. Are all turians born downy, like that?
