Garrus' thoughts and feelings regarding Commander John Shepard were easy to understand and explain: He respected and admired the human Spectre and would follow him into hell in a heartbeat.

Now they were serving together again, shooting the shit, shooting their foes dead, and looking damn good while they did it. Garrus couldn't get a lock on why things were different this time around. But Shepard was his captain come hell or high water, and that was enough to go on.
