[well I'll be damned, he was still here. Though from the looks of it, he was probably buzzed. The only thing worse than emotional turian was a drunk emotional turian.
Wordlessly, Fox made his way through the bar, taking his seat across from Garrus. His expression was blank, save for a slight quirk of an eyebrow directed at Garrus' little shot glass collection. That was a good sign, sure. Of course, he noticed the drink that was set in his spot, but for the time being, he pushed it to the back of his mind.
The pilot crossed his arms indifferently, green eyes locked on Garrus. Your move, Archangel.]
It wasn't Shepard's fault. She was defending you, and I got in her face about it. Amongst other things.
[Everything is so awkward. WHY IS EVERYTHING SO AWKWARD]
Anyway, like I said before, I just wanted to apologize. There's no excuse for what I said and did. You deserve a slap on the head for getting caught in the first place, but everything else I said wasn't true. None of what happened during the mission was your fault.
You'll have to hit me somewhere else. Doc thinks I've already taken one too many head shots.
[because you are awkward turtle. Fox, on the other hand, isn't feeling awkward at all. In fact, he's reaching for that drink that Garrus so generously purchased for him. He actually drains it pretty quickly.]
I understand why you were angry. Anybody would be. It is true that none of that would have happened if I hadn't been thrown in the pound of all places, but whatever the hell they were up to was way off the charts. I guess they just got tired of trying to interrogate me.
[Fox paused, wiggling his now empty glass at Garrus]
[And Fox will flag down the bartender to do just that. It's on the Dinosaur's tab 8U]
Mostly, yeah. I didn't get knocked around in the pound too much, just crammed in a little cage. Tell you what though, the purists? They're really interested in you. Not that they know anything about you, I made sure of that.
Y'know, I think they decided to move me after I bit a guy's finger off.
[Fox grimaced and got to work on his second glass. Biting fingers off is gross okay.]
[had Fox not been drinking root beer schnapps like water he probably would have just shrugged it off, but seeing as he was already through like two glasses and already had like zero alcohol tolerance, he finds this to be the funniest shit ever.
Which means he just chuckles a little bit to himself and orders another drink. 8|]
Impressed? I thought it was pretty gross. But hey, it got 'em off my back for a while.
[When Fox says that next bit, Garrus goes quiet for a second]
...Honestly? While I wasn't at the time, looking back on it now, I'm glad you did. It means you won't take crap from anybody, no matter who they are, and that's a damn good thing.
Heheh. I can't argue with that. To be honest though, it tended to get me into trouble when I was a kid, especially in the military academy. I guess that's what happens when you're raised by a merc.
It was just three guys, dad and a couple old friends of his from back when he was still enlisted. Dad waited 'til I went off to the academy to invest in a flagship for the team, but before that they just operated from Corneria.
Actually, he never got a chance to use the flagship.
[OH IS HE. well fox is just going to trail off here and sip at that drink again]

During the wait, he'd managed to stack up a few empty shot glasses, their sides gently clinked against one another as he tapped the table nervously.
Across from him? A single, untouched (lonely 8() drink]

I'm gonna need about five more of these.
Re: [ACTION OF FUCK YOU]

You were in a bad way when we found you-- was that from the interrogation?

Normally I wouldn't condone that kinda behavior, but you did what you had to.
Besides, they roughed you up enough. I'd say you let them off easy.
Re: [ACTION OF FUCK YOU]
Date: 2011-11-19 01:52 am (UTC)[See, this is nice. Happy chatting and no angry yelling.]
Anyway, stupid argument aside, I really owe you one. Actually, I owe my life to quite a few people right now.
Re: [ACTION OF FUCK YOU]
Date: 2011-11-19 01:54 am (UTC)Honestly, I'm just glad we made it in time.
Re: [ACTION OF FUCK YOU]

Hm? Well, he was a mercenary, like I said. Started off in the military actually. After mom passed away, he decided to start up his own freelance team.
