Parting

It was hard to leave the Normandy behind and return to C-Sec. Garrus had grown attached to some of the crew. Tali had always been nice to him. He liked her. Wrex was somebody he could share his humor with. And Shepard...Shepard was someone to talk to. To cheer up. To follow orders. To learn from. He admitted to himself that he'd miss her.

"Good luck Vakarian. Don't get yourself killed" Shepard told him.

"Same goes for you Commander. You'll let me know when I can come back here right?" he asked.

"In a heartbeat" she replied.

"Good. It was an honor Shepard" he saluted.

"The honor's all mine Garrus. Stay safe" she said with a smile.

With a nod, Garrus turned and exited the ship. Before he stepped into the elevator, he took one last look at the ship. Then the doors slid shut, cutting off his view of the magnificent ship and the woman who commanded it.
