[stealwithit]

This guy Taneleer Tivan--he also goes by the Collector, which is truly unfortunate--hired both of us to steal an artifact from a remote planet sometime ago. He must have thought one of us would just run off with the thing so he hired us both to keep us straight. We sort of hit it off, and...

[ She shrugs. ]

The rest is history.

[ So, hey, that elevator ride? Finally coming to a long, excruciating end. But Kasumi's glad for running into Garrus, so she doesn't make any indication of pulling a disappearing act as the doors (slowly) open. ]

You have time for a drink or two, Garrus? We have quite a bit to catch up on, as you've noticed.

[calibrating]

Yeah, I got time.

[He holds the door open for her, like a TRUE gentleman, and follows her on the way out.

It's not like him to pry to far into the lives of crewmates, former or current, but with Kasumi's status as both Most Mysterious and By Far The Youngest, he can't help wanting to hear more. It's a matter of getting to take part, even if only vicariously, in her capers, and also to find out more about this guy so he can provide ample pressure on him later. For his thieving ways, of course, and definitely not for dating everybody else's little sister.]

After what you just told me, I've gotta feeling I'm gonna need a few of them.

And no, I'm not buying for both of us.

[ Excuse you, Garrus, but Jack and Tali are both younger than her! ...Not that Jack would ever be in a littler sister role, but Tali would, at least...

In any case, she nods over in the direction of the bar in question--his cue to follow her. ]

Oh, come on. You should be happy for me, not drowning your shock in liquor. Jeez.

[calibrating]

[But they don't act younger!!!

And don't even get him started about Tali. She's lucky she doesn't have a porch for him to sit on while polishing a small mountain of shotguns every time a guy even so much as looks at her.

But he'll follow Kasumi like a good boy, engrossed in hearing about this Star Jar guy.]

Who said I can't do both?

I can even listen to you pine over him at the same time. I'm that good at multitasking.

[stealwithit]

[ Kasumi actually turns her head at the last bit--just enough for him to see that she frowns. ]

I don't pine.

[ Except yes, you do, Kasumi, you pined over Jacob when senpai he wouldn't notice you (partially her fault for being invisible) back on the SR-2 and you pine after Peter Quill whenever you two have to spend time apart--which, sadly, is quite often, because she's something of a free spirit and he's a Guardian of the Galaxy. With capital G's. ]

But if you so insist on hearing more, I don't mind talking about it. If only so you don't end up digging up dirt on your own.

[ Although there's nothing stopping him from doing so anyway. ]
