Garrus watched the Commander shift her weight, nervous because she was visibly indecisive. Shepard was never indecisive. "Commander, you don't have to do this," he said quickly, seeking to end this impasse. "Or at least you don't have to do it now."
"I do, though, Garrus," she said quietly, looking at him with purple eyes made eerie in the dim light. "I can't keep going, wondering."
"Lives are at stake," Thane put in his opinion with his usual cool indifference. "Perhaps a decision made in haste is not the best one."
"If you do this, you can't go back." It wasn't like Garrus cared one way or the other, he just wanted her to make up her damn mind!
"Commitment's not really my issue, Garrus," Shepard said dryly and then set her shoulders, nodding once. "I have to do this."
Head high, she lost some of her dignity when her own voice greeted her at Citadel Souvenirs. "I need two of those," she said to the attendant and pointed at the fish tank.
