Let's see... You know the little Dagger models? Like one of those, except it's of one of the shai from Ajna, I think. Lip makeup, a shawl, a candle, a condiment holder and a kilo of meat.

The shawl's nice and I'll put the bobblehead with dagger. They can nod at each other while I'm driving...? And maybe I'll just start eating meat...
Yeah, I've been okay so far, but now we're planetside I guess it's just easier. I mean, the only reason I didn't eat it on the fleet is because we don't have any.

I think so. There must be different types, though. This stuff's like slime, but I'm sure humans aren't putting slime all over their faces all the time. I'd notice that.

Meat isn't bad. He's learned to enjoy it.

Lip makeup, though? What is that used for?
no subject
Really? It looks kind of disgusting... I'll just close my eyes the first time.

It's a human thing - they paint their lips different colours with it. I think it's to look pretty?

It's protein.

Huh. Strange. A bit like face paint?

No, he'd notice that as well. It seems like a very strange tradition, if that's what they use it for. He'll have to ask Chidori. She might know.

This is the longest I've been around humans in a while. Maybe I'm completely wrong.

Garrus's race - the turians - put colony markings on their faces. It might even be something like that, for all I know.
no subject
He doesn't think so. Most humans don't have facial markings. Maybe it's something to do with their biology?
no subject
Could be, but a lot of them don't use it at all... Communication? Maybe... I don't know, different colours are different messages or something.
no subject
Maybe it's a threat display.
no subject
I could believe it.
...And I know a few human women who shouldn't need it.
no subject
That would not surprise him.
