It's not. But this guy doesn't need to know that. Bluffing is useful! Especially when you don't have human facial features to give you away. Even so, he doesn't loosen his hold. Not even a fraction, when the man pulls forward. He can feel the change in tension in the man's muscles.
From terror to eagerness.
He snorts, though, his mandibles flaring off his teeth. The man takes that moment to look up, and goes even paler at the sight of predatory fangs in an alien mouth. "That's risky," he says. "Doesn't the Singularity turn your kind to dust? Big risk, just to run around robbing random travelers."
"We're far enough away! It's just a good cover, s'all!"
Doubt is written all over his features - if the guy could read his face. Garrus doesn't answer, he just hikes their captive more or less to his feet.
And casts a look over to Shepard, as if in apology.
"We might need a guide part of the way." And this way, they can be sure the bandit won't let them wander off into the absolute wrong direction. If he thinks he has a chance, he'll cooperate. Not that Garrus thinks he'll really have that.
