Author's Note: Apologies for the slow updates. I have exams all week and next week. I need to spend a lot of time for studying. I'll update when I can :)
Saleon
The way Shepard helped him handle Saleon was not what Garrus was expecting. Her idea was to bring him into the military and question him. Of course, Garrus' ruthlessness got the better of him and he wanted to outright kill Saleon. With a little convicing, Shepard got him to stand down. But it the end Saleon betrayed them and Shepard was forced to kill him. Garrus was confused. He didn't see the point at all.
"You can't predict how people will act Garrus, but you can control how you'll respond. In the end that's what really matters" Shepard explained to him.
That's when it dawned on him. The Commander was right. She always was. She always found the best way through a situation, not the fastest. Garrus always took the fast way when he worked at C-Sec. How come he never noticed? All it took was his Commander to open his eyes. Today, he learned a lesson. One he'll never forget and one that he'll improve upon.
"Yeah" he said to Shepard "I don't think I've met anyone like you Commander".
Shepard laid a hand on his shoulder "I'm just getting started".
She did the wink again before turning to the exit. Garrus still didn't understand the wink, but it still meant something good.
