Summary
“Garrus Vakarian?”
He turns to see a human woman standing before him. “Can I help you?”
“Jane Shepard. I’m your date.”
He gives her a onceover. Well, he supposes tonight will be different, after all.
“Tali didn’t mention I would be a human, huh?” she goes on.
“She did leave that part out, yes. Why? Did you know I would be a turian?”
“Of course.” She rocks back on her heels. “If you’re uncomfortable with this, we can call it a night right now. When Tali asks how it went, I’ll vouch for you and tell her we just didn’t click. I won’t be offended or anything.”
He hums with dual tones. “Why did you agree to be set up with a turian?”
