Spoilers for ME3 possible in comments.

[2nd_spectre]

You've been fighting off the idea of trying your hand at me since day one. I can't say I'm surprised this happened. Well, maybe just a little.

Whatever happens, if you can at least allow me to stand by Shepard's side then we'll have no problems... ah, ma'am. [A small nod, he can't help but be polite. Though he does wonder if his mundane minds being called ma'am. Too late now?]

[reigninginstars]

You've always gotta be ready for the worst possible outcome - you never know how it'll turn up. I must admit I'm glad it didn't come to that either.

[Shepard can't help but to chuckle at the mention of always needing her. Well she certainly wasn't going anywhere any time soon.]

Not really, but I was greeted with familiar faces when I arrived there. It's a ship called the S.S. Thor.

[2nd_spectre]

No, you really never do know how things will end. I'm just always glad when they don't... end.

[Ah, right. Solemn moment over, he'll quirk a brow at her.]

S.S. Thor? The names not ringing a bell, ma'am. Who did they have stationed there with you?

[reigninginstars]

Yeah, it didn't ring a bell when I first arrived either. Garrus, Tali, Kasumi, Mordin and Joker are currently there with me. We even have the Normandy, so it helps a lot.

[There's a pause before she adds on quietly:]

Illusive Man showed up not too long ago along with a male doppelganger of myself.

[She can never catch a break.]

[2nd_spectre]

As strange as the thought of having two of you running around at the same time is, in one place, I have to say the Illusive Man has his work cut out for him.

Hell, I might almost feel bad for the guy.

[A small chuckle.]

Almost.

[reigninginstars]

[There's a brief glimpse of a smile.]

Yeah, just maybe.

So, has your mun come up with any ideas on where to ship you off to?

[2nd_spectre]

Though without all his connections, will he be able to cause the trouble he did before?

She's contemplating one place, but isn't set on anything yet. I think she wants to see if I'm more than just a fleeting 'muse' for her.

I really enjoy your Kaidan! :D

[reigninginstars]

That's what I'm afraid of. I think he has the potential to.

[There's a short pause.]

Ah, makes sense. I hope it's more than just a fleeting muse.

Thank you so much! Tagging against you lovely folks has certainly been awesome :3

[2nd_spectre]

That he could garner support from others on the ship. Yeah, sadly I don't think you can count that option out. He certainly is charismatic enough to pull something like that off.

Then again, so are you, Commander.

[And there's a small smile.]

You and me both, Shepard. I'm just getting used to this after all, would kind of like to see it through if I could.
