[She opens her mouth, but whatever she was about to say — retort, apologize, spit more sand — dissolves in the face of Nihlus' small affections. The headbutt (unmistakable, even with the unseeing curtain of hair) and face touch — the familiarity was enough to color her cheeks.

She starts for second when Nihlus slides the glasses onto her face, barely hearing her mentor's words. By the time she shakes herself out of it, Nihlus is off, towards the promised towels. Shepard stands, frowning at herself as she pushes the hair out of her eyes with the glasses.

What am I getting so worked up about?

The answer is obvious before she's finished asking it, and it starts with a 'G' and rhymes with 'Harris'. The actions are reminiscent, in a way that causes her heart to squeeze tight in her chest — but that was where the similarities ended. Nihlus and Garrus were as different as two Turians could be, and she wasn't one to get caught up in comparisons — she strongly suspected that, had they ever met properly, there would've been a fight. Each had their own unique traits, skills, and personalities.

So what is this?

She frowns again, then shrugs, bodily, at herself, before following after Nihlus. By the time she catches up, her expression is back to one of sunnier disposition.]

[ Yeah, the last time that happened, Rinzler ended up ensnared in a reprogramming plot.

This time... well. He still has a responsibility to Rinzler since he'd been entrusted to keep the guy's disk safe. Either way, not the best circumstances to be getting shitfaced in. ]

So... pineapples. What the hell are they?

Thread wrap!

[This time, she laughs outright. This, this she can at least deal with. Nudging Nihlus with her elbow, she gestures towards a thatched-hut-looking place a while down the beach.] Come on. I'll teach you how to pineapple with the best of us humans.
