She was, in a way, relieved to hear it - that he trusted her. The knowledge of not being completely trusted like that would have been an odd and unwelcome one.
"I think..." There was a pause as she thought even more. "You two would have been good together. Should have been good together."
Maybe if she hadn't been murdered, and Niko hadn't been taken away, they could have helped each other, could have been happy together back on Earth. For one somber, strange moment she found herself wishing that could have happened - then had the sudden notion that maybe, a universe away, he was with Kate and they were happy. A universe where Tali didn't exist, or wouldn't for centuries to come - but that was just how things were.
...A moment later, and she finds herself smiling, letting out a breath in half a laugh. "So you loved each other, but you'd never even kissed? That's kind of cute."
And totally normal for quarians, but she could assume Niko and Kate didn't have suits in the way.
