Boys being boys
"Come on now Shepard. Be a good "Mommy" and help get your "Son" get laid before you attempt to kill half the crew."
Shepard, Tali, and Mordin had gotten back later than Grunt, Garrus and Legion and by that point word had already come down that Grunt had some breeding requests. Wrex was doing his best, or worst, to get Shepard to agree to stay for another day. Garrus wasn't being much help either.
"The female's camp isn't that far Shepard. Grunt can go tonight and be back in the morning."
"But I really d"
"See, Grunt wants to go." Wrex cut off the younger krogan.
Shepard gave a defeated look at Tali only to realize that she couldn't read the quarian's expression, which made her feel doubly defeated. If Shepard was looking for help from Tali, the command sure as hell didn't get it.
"Let the boys have their fun Shepard. Who knows when we'll be back on Tachunka again."
With her only female companion against her, Shepard caved. "Fine. Be back on the Normandy in the morning." With that Shepard motioned for Mordin and Legion to follow though neither of them moved. "Fine, fine." Shepard muttered under her breathe. She kept on marching back towards the shuttle and completely missed seeing Garrus and Wrex fist bump each other.
Tali, however, didn't, and was greatly amused by the men's boyish behavior. "No wandering off to the female's camp, you hear me? I'll be back later with your dinner Garrus."
The night that resulted can only be guessed at by the females of the Normandy. Tali did come back to drop off Garrus' dinner as well as every Y chromosome carrying member of the ship. Even Joker had left his chair to join the party.
There were pyjak shooting contests, and joy rides in the tonkas and of course story telling. Wrex and Garrus told their rendition of what it was like to fight Sovereign, with some minor embellishment of course. Garrus then stole the spotlight and told a third person account of ArchAngel's last stand on Omega. It naturally appealed to the krogans sense of being warriors and once everyone figured out that Garrus was ArchAngel, Garrus had a cult following by that next morning. A lot of the men on the ship would point to this being the origins of the List. Especially since Legion really started to lay on the hero worship heavy after that point.
Boys being boys, made it back to the Normandy, hung over from the booze they had brought with them, by 2 pm. As the filtered in Shepard walked loudly down the CIC towards the cockpit and practically yelled "Did you get Grunt laid last night?"
"Shepard, please," Joker hoarsely whispered as he shuffled to his chair, "Your steps are making my teeth hurt."
Garrus wasn't as hung over as most of the rest of the men since he had only had 1 bottle of turian brandy over the evening. There weren't that many bottle on board and he wanted to save the few remaining for a special occasion.
"Now you know, I knew we forgot to do something last night. I guess we have no choice but to remedy that tonight!"
The glare that Garrus receive from Shepard told him that he was very wrong about that point.
