"But... you didn't turn into a pirate, a slaver. You didn't start robbing people and murdering anyone you ran into, just to get ahead."
That's the sticking point, far as he's concerned. Maybe he is too turian to really understand, for all his protests about being terrible at being one of his own kind. She could have kept up with the gang, could have stuck around with them. She didn't have to volunteer. That was the whole point of being a volunteer. Wasn't it?
Sure, she's smiling, she's... trying to tease. But he just doesn't get it. He takes a couple long strides to catch up, walking alongside now.
"You didn't do any of that for your own sake, Shepard. Not the Collectors, not picking up washed up vigilantes, not even Aratoht."
He says that with the same decisiveness he might have said he could take a shot. Or he hated the snow. Like it's an immutable fact. And maybe, in his perspective, it is. Shepard hasn't done one damn thing for herself. No pirate in their right mind would be as damn selfless as she ever was.
