[No hello how are you my name is--none of that. Just a list of five questions--so are you going to answer, or not?]

All Turians have a military background, so yeah. I went on to be employed by C-Sec, so I never strayed that far from what I'm good at.

[bunnyblock]

'Turian...'

I'm not familiar with this word.

Are you a native species from another planet?

[Aliens...

Something pings in his chest--nearly like excitement, not that he could name the emotion.]

[dispenserofjustice]

Yes. I'm starting to get the feeling tat this is something I will have to explain repeatedly.

Kind of strange now that I think about it. I'm so used to being around all kind of species and they used to being around mine.

[bunnyblock]

[There's a pause--like he's considering how to answer the other, before deciding on how to word it.]

I guess it is strange.

But I'm always surrounded by different species from myself too, so I can understand how it might feel.

[dispenserofjustice]

[That's... So the individual he's speaking to here is in the minority.Sure, he could assume human in a not human world. But that'd be silly and based purely upon the fact that he's, thus far, only encountered humans.]

Strange in the sense that I'll be getting looks and explaining things countless times. Not so strange being around aliens.

Also, trying very hard not to ask the obvious here.

[bunnyblock]

[His definition of 'not human' is so vague--Garrus might laugh at him for even saying it. But being someone who grew up feeling like a monster among humans, it's easy enough for him to admit.]

Hope it doesn't tire you out. I won't add too much too it, at least.

I think it's cool.

[Meeting an alien... he's a bit charmed.]

I look human. But I'm not.

I'm completely different, and I don't really understand them. How they talk, how they interact.
How they feel pain, and how they're affected by emotion.

I'm not like that.

[dispenserofjustice]

Heh. At least someone does.

Though you know you're not painting a very clear picture. I can't tell if that means you're AI or what.

[bunnyblock]

AI...

That's not a bad guess. I can see why you'd think that.
But no, I was born from humans. Or at least, I'm in human skin.

But I'm nothing like them.

I don't understand their emotions. And I don't know what it's like to be hurt, most of all.

Who knows.
Maybe I'm just more evolved.

[dispenserofjustice]

You kind of opened yourself up for that one.

Is it you don't understand human emotions or emotions in general?

[bunnyblock]

I guess I did.

And I suppose it's both. You're the first being other than human I've ever met, so I wouldn't know if emotions are different for you, too.

[dispenserofjustice]

From what I can understand, my range of emotions don't differ that greatly from a human's.
