[She could have continued on the chip link, and perhaps eventually worked out enough of an answer against the tide of Garrus's comebacks. Which are appreciated, even if that drowns in the wellspring of other emotions right now.]
I mean. I mean that you--Thane, James, Shepard, everyone--I've spent this war fighting with you. I love my people, I'll do anything I can for them, but there's no one else I'd rather have with me. You understand that, don't you? That... there's something to the fact that we've been together all this time.
[She withdraws, keeping light hands against his upper arms.] We're comrades. You're... you're my unit. Is that what you'd call it? And right now, because we don't have any Reapers to shoot, we have to find other ways to keep each safe. To keep ourselves safe, because danger to one is danger to all.
