Garrus took a deep steadying breath. For once he was glad of the slow pace of the elevator as he took the short journey from the second deck to the third. He was out of options and had to just jump in head first as the human saying went. Jane, otherwise known as Commander Shepard in more formal situations, was full of useless human sayings.

In fact Garrus was fairly sure his last conversation with her had been nothing but laughing at him followed up by platitude after platitude. Jump in head first, give it a good old college try, nothing wagered nothing gained, etc. Still it felt good to at least bounce the idea off of Jane, even if she just laughed her ass off. At the very least she was open to the idea which helped.

Liara was somewhat harder to placate. She was far less care free and trusting then she used to be, and she was very protective of those close to her. So her loyalties were split between wishing Garrus luck and threatening to fit him into a coffee cup if anything bad happened. Garrus had to promise that Jane and Liara could come watch. From the sounds of it, that might be a good idea if Liara was this wound up and cranky.

Before she gave her tentative blessing, Liara suggested a few other people. Vega or Cortez for some single tips and Traynor or EDI for paired practice. Jane's name came up as a joke, which both of them laughed at. Jane was good at a lot of things but Garrus knew he'd learn nothing from her on that particular subject. Though it would be quite fun watching her try. Human ingenuity, a wanton disregard of shame and a Liara cheering on would have made of a very unique encounter.

Still, Garrus had passed on Liara's suggestions. EDI would have just way too technical, Traynor and himself were just acquaintances and he wasn't sure if he wanted to ask that kind of favor from her, Cortez might take it the wrong way and that would make things awkward, and Vega... Well Vega was a consideration. Maybe. Garrus wasn't sure he wanted to pay whatever price Vega would demand. The last time Garrus asked a favor of Vega, Vega had worked Garrus completely ragged. Garrus wouldn't admit it but Vega had pushed him to his limits and he was sore for days afterwards.

The elevator doors opened and Garrus walked out, rounded the corner, and into the engineering bay. Tali, Adams, Daniels and Donnelly all turned to see who their visitor was before the humans went back to work. Or at least looked like they were working. Garrus was pretty sure they were all very interested in why he was there. Almost no one save Jane came down to the Engineering Bay for a social visit.

With the eyes of the humans on his back, Garrus screwed up his courage and squared up on Tali whose stance said she was curious as to why he was there.

"Tali, would you teach me how to dance?"
