[On the screen, Garrus, scratches the back of his neck uncomfortably.]

After the human reaper, I didn't think anything could surprise me. Universe just loves proving me wrong, doesn't it?

Come on, Garrus, introduce yourself!

Hmm? [Garrus looks off screen at the source of the high, friendly voice before turning back to look at the camera.] Oh, ah, right. Hi, I'm Garrus Vakarian, and, ah ... hmm ... little help, Patamon? [Once again, he looks off screen at his digimon partner after stumbling through that attempt at an introduction. He's just not very good at this type of thing, is he?]

Wh-wha? Don't look at me!

Right ... thanks. [And once again, the newly human Garrus looks at the screen.] I'm, ah, I'm kind of new here, so ... yeah. [He's not exactly an orator on the level of Shepard.]

[He's about to say something when he realizes he has no idea how long she's been here. His smile becomes something a little warmer, and more reassuring as he leans in and rests his forehead against hers.]

I'm not going anywhere. I promise.

So ... is this the part where we ... shake hands? Not exactly sure on the protocol for reunions.

[This feels different than it did before, because there's an obvious species difference, but Shepard doesn't care. It still feels right.]

Don't get awkward on me now, Vakarian. The kissing was the appropriate response.

[She grins at him. She'd missed the inter-species fumbling, and it's clear that humanizing her other half hasn't changed it at all.]

[He just grins right back.]

If you didn't want awkward, well, you probably picked the wrong turian. Still, glad to know I'm doing something right. The vids never really covered this.

[Thankfully at least she knows what she's doing here.]

Well, we're missing the dramatic airport scene and the crying children.

[She reaches up to touch his face, tracing along unfamiliar but familiar cheek bones.]

How do you still look like you when you're human?

[action]

[calibrates_big_guns]

[He shrugs]

I'm still caught up on the fact that I've suddenly changed species.

[action]

[renegadedriving]

Standing pretty well on the new legs, soldier. I'm impressed.

[And she sounds fairly sincere, too.]

[action]

[calibrates_big_guns]

Heh, it's a little easier than I was expecting, but that didn't stop me from tripping all over at first.

[action]

[renegadedriving]

Could be worse. You could have ended up stuck as a Hanar.

[action]

[calibrates_big_guns]

Heh, that would have made for an interesting reunion

[action]

[renegadedriving]

Well, this one is just happy we're a species at least one of us understands.

[action]

[calibrates_big_guns]

I'd still rather be the one I understand, but I guess I'll just have to live like this.

Err, not that there's anything wrong with being human, of course, but it's just, ah ... Well, it's going to take a lot of getting used to.
