Now I haven't been here for more than a couple of months, but all these festivals? It makes me wonder if there is any sort of effort being made on our hosts' part to get people home. I like having a good time just like anyone else, but when the "good times" are a week long every month it's maybe time to start questioning how dedicated they really are. I don't think two to two and a half weeks without the distraction of another festival on the mind are really enough.

That is the Turian in me speaking, of course. The down time - even with all the strange crap that happens - is starting to get to me.

But no, really. What is the point in having a week long celebration every month?

Sometimes. Turians sort of thrive on order and hierarchy. Civil service has been drilled into us from an early age. Being idle... Yeah it doesn't work for my people. At least I'm not alone in that.

But "just that it does" makes it more an instinctual thing then, right? Or magic maybe. That seems to be a real thing around here.

[Not that it is for him. While Garrus would like a more technical explanation, sometimes it's just not there.]

Anyway, I don't mind cultural exchanges. I've been around humans for a while, but that doesn't mean I understand their sayings or expressions. It should also go without saying that people who are sociable, who make people comfortable. Some of us aren't really good at that.

It's psychic, I think. Reading my mind to determine what color it should be. I have pretty good control but there was a learning curve to it. Like having a new muscle? Not magic.

*See, explaining is kinda a dubious idea with Lola and her hair. But it definitely isn't magic.*

Well, we're from like, everywhere, so it isn't like we can all understand each other's slang and stuff. I say things and a lot of people here don't understand me. But it's pretty easy to work through. My best trick is food, really easy to make people comfortable if you can find the right flavors to remind them of home. Sorry I can't really do that for you, though.

It doesn't sound as strange as you think. Back in my little corner of the infinite parallel universes, we have people who can do some pretty helpful things with mass effect fields.

[Psychics. ESP. Biotics. It's kind of all the same thing at it's core, isn't it?]

Well everyone needs food to survive. [A laugh.] Makes sense that people would feel more at ease if they can have a bit of home with them, yeah. Again, I wouldn't worry too much about me.
