I can stop sending these. I should probably stop sending these. Sorry. The radio silence is driving me up the hull and I wanna know that you’re still with me.

Meant that last one. All of them, really. And don’t tell me I’m fretting. You’re sick and I have every damn right to fret.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
And the fifth was the best. Even you've gotta admit that.
Still got some of the brandy. A lot of the brandy, really. I’ll bring it over. Help finish off what’s lingering, and then I get to taste it on your tongue.

Not that you wouldn’t be. You’re one of the strongest people I know. Part of why I’m so into you.
Sure it is. They'll think it's just a fever dream and forget it in five minutes flat. And the medical staff's dead on their feet so they'll chalk it up to dream or nightmare.

Seems like a shame, because it sounds like i missed something good.

How did you get none of them? Did the network eat them?

It didn't eat them. What's the phrase humans use? Fuck my life? Because fuck my life.

that's sweet, Garrus.

i'm not sure a crowded infirmary is the best place to be having brandy off each others tongues, though.

Most private crowded place possible.

you're pushing your luck.
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
I know im tempting, though. Who can blame you?
no subject
You are. Really looking forward to when you're feeling better.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
There anything I can do? Made you laugh like I wanted to, but anything else.
no subject
Nothing that wouldn't get you infected. So no.

Go tend to your flock, shepherd.
no subject
I will. Get some rest. I'll be by to check on you when my shift ends.
