Seeing Garrus get to work earlier than him gets him started on figuring it out too. There's no way he'll let this alien do better work than him. He examines the cuff, considering his options. He should be out of any restraints in a matter of seconds, but this is another story. It's advanced, to be sure. He presses down on his thumb joint and knuckles experimentally, one by one.
"I could break three of my metacarpals," he says, almost to himself. He doesn't really like the idea, though. Not because of the pain. Pain mattered very little, all things considered. But rather because it'll leave him disadvantaged. Also he's not totally certain that it'll work. He stares at it, balancing out his disgust for the proximity of the one next to him, versus willingly displaying weakness. "Or yours."
