Shit, man, then I guess it's all roses, right? [ That sarcastic expression and the way he throws his hands out says no, it's still not, and he's still not okay with it, but maybe he's willing to move away for a minute. It'll be easier for them both if they do, anyways, if only for Duo's sanity. It weirdly brings him back to all the ways people thought of to 'control' their little orphan gang population, and maybe that's why it chafes so much and so quickly. Sure, it wasn't like people were popping babies out of tubes at the rate of five hundred a litter, but, you know.
Still kinda fucked up. ]
You think that stops people? The whole thing about the people currently having nothing to do with it? [ C'mon, Garrus. He knows you're smarter than that, and he's a bit of a Debbie Downer when it comes to human (person? being?) nature. Plus.. well. The beef between Earth and Space would've died down if it relied on the life times of single human beings. There's a little cluck of his tongue, anyways, as he thinks over how to word what he wants to say next, squinting in to the distance as if the words might appear out of thin air for him. ]
Looking at everything else they're capable of, am I meant to doubt that they couldn't? [ Duo closes one eye, peeking at Garrus with the open one curiously. ]
I just don't like eating what I'm fed without even thinking about it, if that makes sense. Dealt with too many shady groups that distract you with one hand while they're getting the knife ready in their other one too recently to just say 'okay' and start fitting in with the people around.
