"You okay there, Lola?" He knocked another aside with little effort, thankful these things were less prolific than the Reapers had been. Less messy too, at least so far. "I can come save you if I've gotta."
Try as she might, Ash couldn't help but roll her eyes. Why couldn't they keep the flirting off the battlefield? It was weird enough with Garrus talking in innuendos. Scary innuendos.
