The fight not stay over for long. The moment Beetle puts a hand on Rico, Garrus takes a step closer, ready to jump in if the Judge makes a move.
And then Rico opens his mouth and once again Garrus is almost hoping for the excuse to pick things back up they left off. It's bad enough that Rico threatened a child and seemed perfectly willing to back up that threat with physical violence, but now he's trying to twist this all back around and claim that somehow it's Kubo's fault. And sure, the kid hadn't exactly helped calm things down, but Rico had blown past the opportunity to make a reasonable response at every turn.
For things to go this far this fast, Rico has to be the bully Beetle is calling him out as, hard-assed bordering on fascistic, or he just enjoys using his 'authority' as a blank check to step on people. Probably all three.
Whatever his deal is, Garrus has had enough.
"If we're talking about responsibility, I'm fine with that. Let's do what you should have done in the first place and call the higher ups - let them sort out who's in the right here." His eyes narrow pointedly at Rico. "Or do you have a problem with letting the proper authorities handle things?"
