[Garrus has always found something just a little bit absurd about cross-species formal functions, and it's more than just the difference in idea of formal attire between the various species. Perhaps it's the sight of round volus diplomats dancing with willowy asari, or the care the caterers take not to mix up dextro and levo food.

Regardless, the slight flare and downward tilt of his mandibles suggests amusement as he peels away from a pair of fellow turians to lope towards Shepard.]

Is it just me, or have half the people here already worked out fifteen ways to kill each other using nothing but serving trays and a champagne flute?

[He gets a dry sort of almost-smile in greeting, then she's taking a sip of whatever sort of specialty wine is in her glass (she hasn't bothered to keep track, as long as it isn't poisoned) and casually scanning the crowd again.]

Personally, I think that's part of the fun.

And here I thought it only started being fun if someone actually tried.

[The speculative look he casts back over the crowd is not quite hopeful, although it does leave the distinct impression that no, he really wouldn't mind all that terribly much if a brawl of some stripe did break out.

Mostly because seeing politicians and diplomants mussed is always entertaining.]

[Her voice drops low to ensure that only he can hear, because:] That could be arranged.

[Is she serious? That's for Garrus to decide.]
