[Garrus grins (albeit in a very turian way) and guides her to that patch of barely open space]

I took the liberty of looking up one or two human dances. I thought this one was simple enough.

[And he takes Shepard's hand, wraps it around his waist, while holding the other in his own large palm. Garrus' remaining hand slowly makes its way to the middle of Shepard's back]

Comfortable?

[Shepard isn't an expert on dancing, but she does know a little. Although, she does let on that she's a little nervous when Garrus guides her into the correct position for the dance. Her fingers curl against his hand and she nods her head, even though she's looking at him for guidance.]

Yeah, I am.

[It sent a bit of a fluttery feeling in her belly.]

How long have you been planning this?

[calibrating]

For a while, actually.

[He leans so his forehead gently taps hers]

Things have just been so hectic, that we haven't had a chance to relax.

[reigninginstars]

[Shepard laughs quietly, leaning in to press her forehead against his in response. Her eyes slip shut for a moment, a bright smile tugging at her lips.]

I hope you aren't expecting me to go change into my dress, Garrus.

[Her eyes flutter open and she glances up at him through her eyelashes.]

[calibrating]

Hmmm... that would definitely be a bonus, but I've got a feeling I'm already pushing my luck as it is.

[reigninginstars]

Honestly, I'm not so sure I can trust you around my little black dresses anymore, Garrus.

[She's obviously teasing, though.]

So. About this dance...
