[A grin as he gestures to the notes and preliminary sketches he's made.]
Having something new to work on is already enough. You can place the down payment for my services once you've brought in the materials, and the rest once I've completed the job.
[ She chuckles, folding her arms across her chest. ]
Glad I could provide something novel.
[ Her gaze sharpens on the mention of a "condition", a sudden stiffness setting into her posture as she waits for the other boot to drop. Figures, things sounded too good to be true. ]
[He looks at her with utmost seriousness, his expression hardened from what it was before.]
Truthfully, I don't really do much with weapons. Any weaponry I do make of my own is more defense than to inflict damage or harm.
Thus while I am willing to work on someone's personal weapon, I would rather you not speak of this outside of here and your close circle. I also do not want you to allow anyone else to study your weapon if it can be helped.
This kind of technology... I'm sure others will eventually develop something similar, but I would rather have no part of any future mass productions.
[In other words, for specialized cases like these, he will do it. One's weapon is one's main source of defense, after all,and since she's a friend of Garrus, he's placing some trust that she won't use this against civilians or outside of necessity. So this particular condition is to basically keep the technology that he develops confidential.]
[ Her jaw unclenches when she realizes the direction of the condition, glad that her habit of expecting the worst has once again proven to be unfounded.
It's an understandable concern that she hadn't really thought too much about before - hasn't needed to, because those she typically discussed weaponry with back home were privy to the same information, with their suppliers being military - no need to worry about the tech being copied or painting a target on anyone's back. ]
Understood. I'm not really one for letting anyone else handle my weapons, anyway.
[Only after her agreement does his expression relax to return to his more friendly countenance.]
Then we have an agreement. Get me the materials and have your weapon repaired and I should be able to make the needed adjustments to make it function as you wish.
[ The consultation done, and conditions outlined, Shepard stoops and quickly reties the bundle of rifle parts into a sack that gets tossed over her shoulder as she stands up.
With a wide grin, she holds her free hand out to Cid, either unaware or unbothered by the soot that's still all over the tips of her fingers. ]

No need.

I'll let you know when everything's ready.
no worries!!!
I'll be looking forward to it. Take care, and give my regards to Garrus.
[ooc: btw if you wanted to handwave Cid making the gun and all that so that Shep can have the weapon by now that's cool with me o7]
