It is good of you to recognize your transgressions. I wouldn't say it's enough. It's far easier to dwell with a guilty conscience than it is to actually right your wrongs— and wrongs the soul makes are not ones you can dismiss.

I do not know you well enough to say you can move beyond your sins. But I wish you strength to do so.


—Ah. We should discuss a home. While I still suggest we avoid this realm of opportunity altogether, I would prefer someplace dry.

[Shepard nodded her head slowly, a faint (yet somewhat saddened) smile graced her lips.]

I understand completely, Thane.

[Shepard shifts and reaches out a hand to lightly grasp his shoulder in a friendly manner, giving a light squeeze.]

If there was anything I could possibly do, I would try my hardest to help. Otherwise, I hope for the best.

{He immediately stills the impulse to meet her hand. Maybe in another life, another hopeless mission, the gods would bring them together.

But not this time. Instead, he returns her smile.} You needn't do anything, my friend. It's my task to convince this one to join you; and should fate be unkind, I will still pray for your safety.

D'AAWWW dhjsghsauha This is so precious

[Her smile grows.]

That means a lot coming from you.

[A moment passes and her hand falls from his shoulder.]

If fate doesn't bring us together, you will be in my thoughts as well.

[But she'll be hopeful, it's what she does. Always hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.]

Indeed! <3

{And that was the beautiful thing he saw in Shepard. No more how dark the times were, or how many expectations fell flat, the commander would pull through. It was an inspiration they may not realize, the reason so many people would follow them through fire and brimstone.

So she didn't really need the Goddess Arashu's protection, but Thane would pray for it anyway.} Don't let me weigh on your mind. In my absence, you are alongside good company, and a strong cause.
