A very thorough turian pointed look was established, easily calling Shepard out on his lie about taking care of himself.

❝ Try walking out of your cabin and I'll ask EDI to override all controls to the sliding doors to your quarters. ❞

Shepard. Needs. Genuine. Rest.

[𝗚⃪𝗔⃪𝗥⃪𝗥⃪𝗨⃪𝗦⃪ 𝗩⃪𝗔⃪𝗞⃪𝗔⃪𝗥⃪𝗜⃪𝗔⃪𝗡⃪ @RUTHLESSVIGIL]

Comfort, romance — anything that required being sentimental and soft was something Garrus struggled greatly with.

But something about Joker saying he was too hotheaded to reason with lingered. And perhaps, it wouldn't hurt to try to be more . . . present?

physical touch is not something he's exactly used to. not when it's other initiating it—— otherwise just being seen as one more action to comfort others, or some political bullshit he never really bothered.

Save for the embarrassment. He hated feeling embarrassed.

Icy blues hold Shepard's gaze, a supraorbital ridge arches in amusement.

❝ A grown up? No. Not in this state. What's the protocol about the Commanders needing to be in good health for the crew and mission? ❞

But then his mandibles flare; jaw plates shifting to form a soft smile.

❝ Sol. . . Erm. . . Solana? Yeah. She was my shadow while growing up. Would always follow me around until I was recruited into C-Sec. ❞

Another pause.

❝ Let's get you back to your cabin. ❞

[𝗚⃪𝗔⃪𝗥⃪𝗥⃪𝗨⃪𝗦⃪ 𝗩⃪𝗔⃪𝗞⃪𝗔⃪𝗥⃪𝗜⃪𝗔⃪𝗡⃪ @RUTHLESSVIGIL]

Silent in his actions, Garrus neared Shepard and gently guided him into his arms.

An attempt to comfort the man who sacrificed everything to keep this entire universe safe from the threats at hand.

Nothing was uttered for a long time from the turian as he held Shepard.

a smile, a sad attempt at comfort. aaron has been through hell, scars on his body—— even after being reconstructed—— being there to prove so. he may have not lost anyone new, his team alive and reporting back,

Enough about him.

❝ Everything must be weighing you down significantly. How are you holding up? ❞

Honestly.

He knew of the nightmares. He heard them vocalized many times to close confidants.

That information alone worried Garrus. That, was one of the reasons he watched Shepard so much. Aside. . . from personal interests, of course.

⠀⠀❝ — the war. ❞

no beating around the bush. a nervous laugh escapes his mouth as he leans against the nearest wall, crossing his arms in an attempt to have some sense of control.

He could only hope the two were safe and okay.

Blue hues soften as they meet the Commander's. ❝ I recently spoke to the ground force I oversaw. They're doing well. ❞

He paused.

Blue hues shift towards the Commander, then to the subtle touch upon his arm.

❝ Hey, Shepard. . . ❞

Between the way he was acting and the spike in his blood pressure according to Garrus' visor, the turian figured this was no usual check in.

❝ What's on your mind? ❞

[ًً @shepsentinel]

thankfully,⠀⠀the silence doesn't last long.⠀⠀approaching the turian almost shyly,⠀⠀touching his arm with a raised eyebrow.
