in which Shepard proves her point

"No I'm telling you I know lots of normal people that name their guns." Shepard argued. Garrus shook his head, snorting a bit.

"Like hell, Zaeed was not normal." Jack slammed her hand on the table rattling the plates and glasses. "And don't go asking me I am not normal either." There were many nodes of agreement from around the table.

"Do you have a name for your gun?" Jacob asked, pushing his empty plate away, "and can you give names of anyone else that does."

"Yes I have named my gun." Shepard crossed her arms, "I know other normal people have named theirs, but I don't remember off the top of my head."

"Ha, cause only weird people name their guns." Joker stated over the intercom.

"Joker, you call the ship Baby, and I have seen you caressing her. I would stay out of this if I were you." Shepard responded. Standing up, she leaned on the table. "Fine I will find names and prove that it is normal." Shepard stalked off.

"Sometimes she is crazier than me." Jack shook her head, and eyed Shepard's desert that she had left.

Shepard wander over to Tali station, "Tali I was," Shepard then noticed that Tali was talking to someone, "Sorry did not realized your were busy, it can wait."

"It's ok Commander, I was just finishing getting caught up on the Migrant Fleet." Tali turned back to the computer. "Thank you Reegar, for let me know was is going on." Shepard smile at the tone, something more was going on their but she would not interfere with it and only wish for the best.

"Of course Ma'am, anytime, be safe" Reegar replied.

"Actually if Kal'Reegar has a moment, maybe he can help with a disagreement we are having upstairs?" Shepard leaned over Tali's shoulder to look at the red and gold clad solider. Reegar straightened up in an almost military pose.

"Of course, how can I help." Reegar said seriously.

"Oh, it's silly, but I hate to lose an argument." Shepard felt her cheeks blushing over how silly this was about to sound. But never one to back down once she set her course.

"Do you give names to your guns?"

Tali head cocked to the side as she looked at Shepard, Reegar laughed, "Yes I have. Adam and Jayne."

"Those sound like human names." Shepard said in thought.

"They are, two humans I meet on my Pilgrimage." Reegar said his voice far away in memory.

"Jayne was a mercenary I meet, he had a thing about guns, and grenades. Our Captain once keep him from bring grenades along, we ran in to...Trouble... we only barely got out of. After that the Captain never said anything when Jayne brought the grenades after that. I figured a rocket launcher was appropriate gun to give that name to. Jayne named his guns too, it's who I learned it from."

"Adam now, he was not a fighter. He was a holo actor that I body guarded for a while. Always played the big strong fighter type. He was a good guy, a good actor, named my rifle after him."

"Thanks, now I'm going back to prove my point." Shepard headed towards the door.

"Shepard." Reegar called out in an amused tone. Shepard came back to the display.

"Yes?"

"Was think of naming my pistol after you, keelah se'lai Ma'am" he nodded to Tali then reached out and cut the connections. Shepard stood there for a moment taking in what the quarian solider just said.

She then looked over at Tali, "Can't figure out if I was just insulted or complimented." Shepard patted Tali's shoulder as she turned to leave again.

"And as soon as I figure it out I'm going to either kiss him or shoot him...with my pistol!" Shepard shook her head laughing "oh and Tali, I like him he's always welcome on board this ship."
