"Hold the door" Ashley said. I use my foot to stop the elevator from closing. It's unusual for her to go into the cargo bay, especially with a tool. Some kind of large futuristic pliers or wrench. The unfamiliar shape makes it impossible to determine the function.
I ask "What are those for?"
"You'll see" Ashley smirks. My curiosity is peaked.
The metal doors open and I see what she meant.
"Stop squirming and stay still. It will be easier for the both of us" Wrex said.
"I'm trying. But it is so tight back there. I think you should grab them harder. We need to release it" Garrus said.
"Should I pull harder?" Wrex suggested.
"No. Just be gentle" Garrus said.
I smile boyishly and look to Ashley.
"I like this."
She steps out and brings the tool to Wrex who appears to be holding Garrus's hands behind his back. I slowly walk forwards and minimize the sounds of my foot steps.
I ask "Am I interrupting your bondage time?"
Garrus and Wrex glance to each other, realizing how this looks.
"Do you mean bonding time?" Garrus asked.
"What did I say?" I ask rhetorically.
"Tell them what happened" Ashley said.
"The kid thought it would be a good idea to try and figure out how you escaped those cufflinks when you were locked up for polluting the citadel lake" Wrex explained.
"I tried almost everything I could think of. Now I'm trying to see if there is a flaw in the design if they are tightened too much. And to make matters worse, we lost the key. ********* Can you get me out of this?" Garrus begs.
"Watch and learn" I crack my fingers and get to work. I gently push Wrex out of the way and grab the cuffs with both hands. I use my telekinesis to open the mechanism which allows them to unlock. I shake Garrus's hands up and down three times for dramatic effect and to cover what I did. The turian is freed. Garrus rubs his wrist with his... thumb? Is that what it is called?
"Thank you. How do you even do that?" Garrus asks.
"Trade secret. It's mine, you can't have it. Figure it out for yourself. It's not that hard" I said. I had an eventful start to my day. I walk back to the elevator with Ashley.
"Well, that was a weird morning" I said.
Ashley reaches inside her pocket and pulls out a pair of unique shiny metal pieces on a keyring. Dangling them in the air. Jingling noises fill the limited space as they bounce up and down.
"You didn't!" I said.
"Hey, a girl has to have a little fun."
