You are a funny one, Mun.

[tali_in_da_keelah]

Dear Mun...

I do not think you understand the feels you are putting me through. Or going to put me through. Keelah, how was I supposed to know this could go so many different ways? Shepard...The Geth...My own life...It makes me thirsty...
And even more! You...You bosh'tet...You think it's amusing to write me as some sort of...Light weight. Or a complete drunk. Yes, yess *slurs words* ...Emmmergencccccy...Inductionnnn...Pert...HiLARious...As hilarious...losing your fatherr, almost being exiled from your own people, losing the life of the one you love...That's a real funny joke...

...Maybe if I drink more, this whole...Arpee thing will make sense...Need confidence anyway. Straw. Give.

So is this going to end with you asking me if I want to see your tattoo?

[He'd try to talk about all of this, because clearly it's a bit overwhelming for her ... but at this point he's not sure she's going to remember his name.]

[tali_in_da_keelah]

[Stares at Vakarian, long and hard, her voice maybe just a whisper of utter despair]
...How do you know about my tattoo?

[calibrates_big_guns]

I heard you telling Shepard about it back at the party. Something about the lower wards, near the bottom.

[tali_in_da_keelah]

[If it was possible for a Quarian to display a blush, it was happening, as she seemed to shake with utter embarrassment]
...Keelah, no...Please tell me no one else heard...

[calibrates_big_guns]

[He couldn't tell if it would make him a horrible person to laugh, so he's going to hold that in for now.]

I don't think anyone else did. Well, maybe Grunt, but he was a little busy eating Shepard's lamp to pay much attention.

[Brings her hands to her face]
...I would have died...I can't believe I did that...

[calibrates_big_guns]

Well at least you didn't show him ... at least not there. Can't vouch for later.

[tali_in_da_keelah]

...Every...Last...Inch...

[calibrates_big_guns]

Oookay then ... I'll take that as meaning Shepard saw the tattoo ...

[tali_in_da_keelah]

Yes...Garrus...Shepard saw the Tattoo...
[she shakes her head in her hands]
...He called it his 'handy road map'...I remember that much...

[calibrates_big_guns]

Eheh ... eheheheh ... ahahahahahahahahaaa!

[ahem] Sorry. I shouldn't have laughed.

[tali_in_da_keelah]

[She is just sober enough now to manage to kick at him]
Ooooh, laugh it up.

[calibrates_big_guns]

Well I was trying not to, but I could start again if you really want.

[tali_in_da_keelah]

Do and I will mark all over your face with those big black markers they have in the medical bay while you sleep.
[Her voice has narrowed into an almost adorable-yet-annoyed hiss]

[calibrates_big_guns]

[He can't help but snicker.]

Is that really the first thing you came up with?

[tali_in_da_keelah]

[stares at him good and hard again]
Yes.

[calibrates_big_guns]

I'll give you this ... that's the first time I've ever been threatened with a marker.

[tali_in_da_keelah]

I will have you know, that on the Flotilla, marking on ones facemask was an act of assault. We can't see, and we walk into things, and are not easy to clean.

[calibrates_big_guns]

Really? Why can't you just hit the masks with some windex? Seems easy enough.

[tali_in_da_keelah]

Ohhhh no no, I have SEEN that stuff, and it is going nowhere near my vents!
