It's actually kind of funny, when she kicks the bandit. Watching him just flop over like that is comedic, no matter who you are. No matter the situation. But he holds it back. Bites his tongue, so to speak.
For every line she speaks, Garrus' grip tightens. His talons, left untrimmed anymore, dig slightly into the man's shoulder. He's not very good at the whole good cop thing, after all. And when the realization hits, he also can't help the little flicker of blue over his scales. He knows that's probably not the best idea - he's not as in control as someone like Shepard is. On the other hand, he's had the most experience so far with a general barrier.
And that's all the little flare is. Nothing more.
"I think... we'd be really satisfied if we heard a location." A roll of his shoulders as he says it. A flex of fingers. "That way, we'd know if he was really telling the truth."
It's not fool-proof. Without things like scanners here, getting exact directions might be the best they can do. If someone stammers out something, they're probably making it up as they go, as opposed to rattling off a location. And without radios, there's no way this guy could warn the rest of them.

"Better hurry. We're running out of patience."
