She can't believe that she had just admitted to Shepard that she trusts her enough to link suit environments with her. But it's Wren's saying she feels the same way that truly flusters the quarian machinist.

Oh, keelah…

For once, Tali is immeasurably grateful for the tinting of her faceplate, in that while Shepard might be able to make out some of her expression, the human wouldn't be able to see the furious blushing, even though she knows she's not doing a very good job of hiding her embarrassment with her body language.

"I know. Well, not that I know, but I didn't mean it like that… It's, um… Wow, it is really hot in here."

Looking away from her commander, she wrings her hands as she tries to explain, "It's just that the tradition also signifies a willingness for, um, intimacy. I wasn't trying to… It's not always like that. It's more… How did we even end up talking about this?"
