citadel dlc likely in comments; dlc proves what the whole galaxy knows...

[readiness]

[ She huffs out something that's halfway between a laugh and a put-upon kind of exhale. ] Don't you laugh at me.

I'm the first human Spectre. I can do a hell of a lot of things better than I can dance, and you know it.

[ Don't forget to add 'interior decorating' to the list of things the almighty Shepard can't do. ]

[chicksdigthescars]

Oh, we all know how capable you are, Shepard. At other things, I mean.



Though I'll give you this...you can tango with the best of them.

[readiness]

I can't take all the credit. I had a pretty good partner. This turian— about this tall? What was his name...

[chicksdigthescars]

Archangel wasn't it? Rugged, handsome, quit capable with a sniper rifle...heard he's a real catch.

[readiness]

Oh yeah. Had this great voice. Kind of like yours, Garrus, except a little better.

[chicksdigthescars]

Really? Here I didn't think anyone could top this voice. I've been told it's a deal breaker.

[readiness]

I've always been a bigger fan of that trigger finger of yours, personally.

[chicksdigthescars]

That so? I'll keep that in mind for next time.

[readiness]

And I guess the rest of you isn't so bad either. Not as good as that other turian, but I'm not complaining.

[chicksdigthescars]

It's quite a reputation to live up to but I'll do my best to be a good substitute for your real mystery turian lover.

[readiness]

[ Oh, Garrus, you are her favorite. ]

I'm just saying. It was some first date.

[chicksdigthescars]

[And you're his~]

Sounds like it. Heard a lot of people talking about it.

[His mandibles lift in a smug sort of grin.]

[readiness]

[ Okay, so maybe she's still a little awkward about the PDA. She does reach out and tap the end of one of his mandibles though, like someone might tap a human on the nose. ]

Careful, or your ego's gonna get too big to fit through my bedroom door.

[chicksdigthescars]

[That's alright, he is too. But that gesture does get a content sound from him.]

Wouldn't want that. Your bed's pretty comfortable, I'd hate to have to give that up.

[readiness]

Yeah, I figured. [ She smiles at him in a lazy, at-ease kind of way. ]

You know just how to keep me on my toes, Vakarian.

[chicksdigthescars]

[He returns the smile with one of his own, gaze softening.]

And vice versa. Pretty sure my life would be far too boring without you in it, Shepard.

[readiness]

[ Garrus, please. If you keep looking at her like that, she's going to have to find a way to get around that 'Commander Shepard does not kiss ex-rogue turian vigilantes in public' rule. ]

I'm glad you finally realized you'd be completely lost without me.

[chicksdigthescars]

[Look at you like what? With that adoring, absolutely in love sort of look? He can't help that, Shepard.]

I would be. Completely. No Vakarain without Shepard.

[readiness]

Who else is going to make sure I don't trip over my own two feet?

[ Live in the moment; that's what they say, right? Right. So no need to think about how everything feels more and more final these days. ]

You big softie.

[chicksdigthescars]

I'll always be there to steady you when you trip.

[And he will of you let him. Hell, he'll go to the very end with you.]

Only for you.

[whoneedslegstofly]

Are we really gonna go there?

[readiness]

[ Yes, because you fucking bet someone encouraged you to dance with EDI. ]

Hey. I throw great parties.

[whoneedslegstofly]

[And he enjoyed the hell out of that. But we really need to get you dancing lessons...or something.]

No doubting that, commander. All I'm saying is that..well...even Glyph has better moves than you.

[Yeah he's grinning. It's just so much fun to poke fun at you.]

[readiness]

[ Arguably, Glyph dresses better than she does. The almighty Shepard, forever confused by what 'black tie' means and why it's necessary. ]

Oh come on. Glyph lights up. Glyph spins. I can't compete with that.

[whoneedslegstofly]

[Yeah he was looking pretty snazzy wasn't he? Gosh, Shepard. Out dressed by a VI.]

Hey! You're Commander Shepard! I thought you could do anything! Not my fault Cerberus didn't install the light piping during your rebuild.

[readiness]

That's all on Miranda. [ Jabbing a finger in the air, Joker. Just at chest level. Not that she'd actualy bruise, but. ] I was dead.

You think I wouldn't have put in for a request to become a human light show if I could have? That's the retirement plan right there.

[whoneedslegstofly]

[He holds his hands up, trying hard not to laugh at this point.]

Alright alright. I guess not everyone is perfect....

[readiness]

[ Shep: 1. Joker: ??? ]

I'm glad we had this talk.

[whoneedslegstofly]

Yeah well...at least I can dance. And I'm a cripple practically.

[readiness]

[ Would it be immature to flip him the bird?

Yeah, she does it anyway. ]

Shut up, Joker.

[whoneedslegstofly]

[He outright laughs then.]

Shutting up, commander~

Of course I get here when all the good banter gets used up xP

[calibrates_big_guns]

Oh, I don't know. You're pretty good at the tango.

it's okay garrus. we all know how you feel about banter. c:

[readiness]

Just the tango?

Hehehe

[calibrates_big_guns]

As far as dancing goes, at least. You make up for it in other areas.

[readiness]

Like destroying small marine life?

[calibrates_big_guns]

Well I wasn't going to mention that one. It's almost impressive actually. You still manage to kill them, even with the VI.

[readiness]

[ She makes a little face. It's not very Commander-y, but it's pretty standard Shepard. ]

At least varren like me, right?

[calibrates_big_guns]

[He can't help but grin at that look. It's cute.]

Considering all the varren we've met tried to kill us, I'm not sure how much that means.

[herewegoto]

It's cute. Instead of an Achilles heel, you ended up with two left feet.

[readiness]

So what's the treatment plan? More push-ups?

[herewegoto]

Crunches. But you've got a busy schedule. Make Vega and Jacob do them instead. I can supervise.

[bigguddamnhero]

Shepard. Did I ever mention the time I had to learn a Krogan tribal dance to take out a target? Now that was a goddamn sight. Jessie's a hell of a dance partner, I shit you not.

[whywefight]

Never gonna live the dancing down. Never. One thousand and eighty-five headshots? Nope. Take down three Reapers? Nope. It's still all about the crappy dancing.
