leaned over the afterlife bar, the turian peers around the foggy, dark space and searches the crowds for any sign of trouble. his gaze dances over mason, the bartender, and feels a small wash of gratitude for this new connection, this new source of valuable information. if only aria t'loak knew her favorite bartender was feeding archangel the same information he gives her. "nothing right now," garrus promises mason in a low huff, mandibles fluttering close to the sides of his face. he's not archangel here — not in public, not without the helmet hiding his true identity. here, he's just an ex agent of c-sec blending in with other turians and visitors to the busy omega bar. "i'm actually here for you," garrus goes on, sitting back in his seat. the music pounds around them, but garrus pays it no mind. "i wasn't expecting to see you here. have you thought about what i said? and have you made arrangements to leave?" people like mason shouldn't be on omega, and never should have come here in the first place. that's why garrus demanded he take the next shuttle to the citadel, hitch a ride somewhere, and leave this place for good. without his abusive ex boyfriend keeping him tied here, mason has no reason to remain; he should flee, find better work elsewhere in the galaxy, and stop playing around with bad people and even worse mercs. "i spared your life for a reason," he goes on, his voice low. "you said you'd leave. you promised me, actually. i gave you my contact at c-sec, and you said you'd reach out to them once you reached the citadel." a low noise rumbles in the base of his throat. "you don't belong on omega, mason. so call your afterlife manager over and tell them you quit... or we stage something together. your call."
