And here I was hoping to be able to quit my day job.
[The cough is worrying, but Tali's an adult. If she needs medical attention, she knows to get it, and he'll trust her there. Most people he wouldn't. But the whole 'quarian' and 'weakened immune systems' deal tends to mean they're on the more responsible side of things when they get sick.]
Maybe we can make more suits, together. Tell people they're fashionable. Make some credits on the side.
[Garrus tucks away his tools and straightens up.]
And maybe that can happen after you get some rest. Don't want to let the cough get the better of you.
Quarian suits - function, fashion and never having to use the showers. Maybe I'll finally have some credits. [Her voice is a bit scratchy.
With luck, she can sleep it off - that and the headache coming up behind her temples. Without... well, it's a trip to the medical rover. This was never going to be easy.]
I'll be fine - I'll get some rest, drink fluids... The next time you're here, I'm sure it'll be fine.
[Because really? It's nice not eating alone - and quickly, like it's something furtive.]
[She's already stepping towards her bed - there's an odd sort of ache in the back of her throat, and she knows what that means only too well - when she turns back momentarily.]
[Garrus pauses half-way out the door, glancing back. He wishes the news had been better. But this war, in all of its facets, doesn't give them any better. It definitely doesn't give any of them what they want.
He gives her a nod.]
You've got it, Tali.
[At least they can have each other, and each other's backs.]

I'm sure it will be too.
[She knows best. Garrus heads for the door.]
Call me if you need anything else, yeah? I'll be right over.

Hey, Garrus - thanks a lot.
[Not just for offering to help, either.]
