After a good night's rest, right?

I can get started on it, at least. Jobs aren't up yet this month, so I don't need a strict sleep schedule. I'll stop when I'm tired.

Yeah no.

I'll help you with the med-bay but then we're calling it quits for today. You need to rest.

Yes, dad.

[Screw that she'll sneak off to Engineering to get work done down there.]

I mean it.

You might sort of kind of may be worrying one or two of us.

Maybe.

Only maybe? I'll take my chances.

[She's mostly joking. She'll find time for at least some semblance of a break.]

Right.

Heading to the med bay now. See you then.

Alright. I'll be here.

[And sure enough Garrus saunters right into the med-bay]

[Like a baws]

Hey.

Hey.

[Tali's working on the innards of a console as he enters. She only looks up briefly at him before returning to her work.]

[Even with one word, it's not all that hard to tell she's been running herself ragged.]

[That earns a sigh from Garrus here as he eventually winds up beside her, oh-so-casually leaning against the console she's working on and just watching]

[and watching]

[aaannnd watching]

[until finally he sticks a hand out, deliberately blocking her from plugging in that one wire]

[She fails to notice and tries to plug it in anyway, ending up just poking Garrus in the finger.]

[...]

[Wait, that wasn't supposed to happen.]

Garrus, what are you doing?

Just testing something out. Don't mind me.

[Tali's sane enough at the moment to call Garrus on his BS, luckily.]

What are you getting at? This isn't helping.

I'm not getting at anything.

I was testing your reflexes.

By the way, you failed.

...

[Dammit Garrus]

I'll just have to turn on the wires next time.

[SMIRKING MCSMIRK]

Or you can finish up and get some shut-eye.

I said I'll get sleep once I'm done here.

And I'm saying 'being done here' means once you're done with this console and not with the whole med bay.

I'm not going to be able to sleep if I don't get what I want to done...

I'll take care of what's left in the med bay once you've finished this console. It's got nothing to do with the drive core, so I won't screw it up.

But-

[She wants to argue, but can't, knowing that Garrus can in fact handle this just fine.]

...[/sigh]

Alright, I'll go to bed after this.

Sounds good.

[Implied: Garrus will be making sure of that 8|]

[Already she's thinking of escape plans. Is there any maintenance shaft that she can fit into that Garus can't...?]

[In the meantime she'll finish up the console. The medi-gel dispensers should be online once she's done.]

[If there's any maintenance shaft that can withstand the collective girth of their hips, it only exists in legends]

[Garrus doesn't babysit her while she works-- he knows that if anyone ever did that to him while he was in the battery, it'd drive him nuts. So he tinkers with a couple of other things in the room instead, keeping an eye out for any sign of her finishing.]

[When he does realize it, he taps her shoulder and jerks his head towards the door]

Ready?
