Need to talk. Let me know when you're available.

- G

Always available. What can I help with?

Eve's calling a meeting. Not sure when.

Wanted to talk to you before it anyway.

The krogan? Did Wrex finally sit on Mordin and kill him?

If you want to talk, then I can arrange something. Where do you want to meet?

Not exactly. Think of it as more of a family meeting.

Wherever and whenever is good for you. I'm free.

A family meeting? I guess I should be honoured I get an invite.

Meet me in front of the Art Museum in about an hour then.

[Oh ouch]

I'll talk to you then.

[ Sorry bro, she's still mad at you.]

[But she'll be waiting outside of the gallery, eating a sandwich while she waits for him. She's not too sure what he wants to talk about but she trusts him enough not to be wary of making an appearance in a public space.]

[Sure enough, Garrus appears (fashionably late), and takes no time in approach Kasumi]

Hey. Glad you made it.

[Always fashionably late, that's why she brought the sandwich.]

Not a problem Garrus, always happy to help. What's up?

[He's silent for a moment, trying to figure out the best way to approach the subject at hand]

[Then he realizes that the best way is probably the turian way: straightforward, blunt, and to the point]

I wanted to talk to you about what I said.

[Kasumi will sigh and cross her arms, she's willing to listen but she'll admit she's stung from it.]

Of all the people on the ship you were the one I least expected to say something like that. For the record.

Yeah, I know.

You can add the part where I was an ass to crown all asses, too. Or anything else you can think of.

Seriously, you have free reign here. Nobody else gets that kind of chance.

You were a fairly large asshole, I'm not going to tell you that you weren't.

I don't know if I want to say anything and might just what else you'll call yourself. Even if that is a little mean.

[But she'll pause for a moment.]

Why did you say that in the first place? I'm sure you wouldn't say such a thing to Tali or Joker.

[He kind of snorts at that]

I wound up chasing Joker away, too, you know. Tali didn't even bother trying to visit.

[What tiny ghost of a grin he had on his face disappears]

But that doesn't excuse how I treated you, and I am sorry about that.

I guess you've hit a new low Garrus, I think we've all been assholes to each other though. I shouldn't have antagonized you over Jane's disappearance. But I didn't know that you'd managed to piss off Joker so badly.

[She'll give him a small smile, it's still wary.]

I'll accept the apology though, thanks. Maybe next time I won't try to cheer you up with dextro-chocolate if things end up going sideways.

If it helps, I didn't piss him off so much as awkward him out of the room.

[Garrus shrugs]

It wasn't the chocolate, Kasumi. It was the timing.

I know you meant well. I do. But I'd asked to be left alone. Nobody gave me room to think, or breathe, or anything. I was angry. Hell, I was pissed, and that made me say things that I wouldn't ever think or mean in a hundred years.

It doesn't change the fact that the way I responded was wrong. Especially not when all you all wanted to do was help, but it's a reason. A reason that I regret and wish I could take back.

I guess then it's my fault that I didn't leave you alone the first time you snapped at me to get out. Brought it upon myself really, so for that I'm the one who's sorry. I know the mentality with humans is that talking out issues helps, but I guess that's not the case for everyone.

[Well, now she feels like the bad guy and part of her is glad that she just got out of everyone's hair...figuratively.]

Are you still angry about it?

Not at all, no.

Actually, I feel bad about everything that's happened. Like I said, you didn't deserve it.

And... I think I speak for everyone when I say we'd like you to come back.

Things happen, Garrus.

But, no one moved into the crew lounge now that I'm gone? That's a surprise.

Hey, that room is all yours, Kasumi.

Just think of it as a little more incentive to return.

I'll think about it. But thanks, you make it hard to stay angry at anyone you know.

[She'll bounce back to her normal cheery self without too much work.]

You sure you want a kleptomaniac around the Normandy?

It's just part of my charm.

And yeah. A kleptomaniac is probably as stable as we get around there. We could use a little more stable.

It's something you have just enough of to make you entertaining, Garrus.

Stability is questionable for even the best of us. I doubt I'm any more stable than the next person on Shep's crew.

Trust me, you're not giving yourself enough credit there.

And in either case, that just kind of reinforces my point that you belong with us.

[She'll laugh at that.] And here I thought my charms irritated you.

I guess I should come back to living on the Normandy, the roommates I have now are terrible. I kind of miss people wandering in every now and then for a drink in the lounge.

[That earns a flare of Garrus' mandibles as he smiles]

Glad to hear it.

So, ah... [He extends a hand] friends?

[She'll shake his hand.]

Friends, but on the condition that you help me move my things back into the lounge.

Fair enough.

I mean, how much can one person fit in that tiny space?
