Homeless;

[l2biotics]

You really know how to make it obvious, don't you.

[ He shakes his head, he's already looked at the icons. Thanks ]

..and I really don't want to talk about the ending again. You've been "raging" about it for the last week, isn't that enough.

So, find me a home or not, I can go either way. I'd just appreciate it if you stopped yanking my chain with all the broken promises.

You look... familiar.

[ He's met someone else wearing that kind of uniform not too long ago. ]

You ever meet a guy named... oh, hell, what was his name again? Struthers? No, that's not it. Simpson? No, no. Something with an 'S'...

[l2biotics]

..Shepard?

[sixthanimorph]

[He snaps his fingers.] Yeah, that was it! Shepherd. You know him?

[l2biotics]

Yeah, I know him. Used to serve under him too.

[sixthanimorph]

So he was telling the truth about all that stuff? Having his own ship and being some kind of war hero and all that?

[l2biotics]

[ There's a frown. ]

All of it's true.

[sixthanimorph]

[ He whistles softly, looking a little shaken. ]

Guess I wasn't expecting that. I mean, I knew he was a soldier and all, you can always tell, but... his story was a little out there even for me, you know? And I've seen some crazy shit.

[l2biotics]

[ He shakes his head slowly. ]

War is always like that. No winners, even the heroes....

[sixthanimorph]

[ At that his eyes get cold and his expression hardens. ]

You don't have to tell me what war's like.

[l2biotics]

You look a little young to be worrying about war.

[sixthanimorph]

Yeah. I am. Didn't stop it from finding me.

[l2biotics]

..it happens. I wish it didn't, but it's never the innocents choice in the matter.

[ Most people don't have a choice... ]

[sixthanimorph]

It's been a while since anyone thought of me as an innocent.

[ Truth be told, he hadn't really been on the straight and narrow even before all this happened. ]

I didn't tell your friend much. He seemed like a good guy, for whatever that's worth.

I think my mun's been raging about the ending in some regard for over a month now, so you may still have a bit to go on that one. Good luck, Kaidan.

[l2biotics]

The best. But, don't tell him I said that, it might go to his head.

[l2biotics]

Been through worse, right? I think I can get past this little tantrum.

[notevengreat]

Just try not to let it get to you. There are probably bigger issues coming your way. At least that's how things usually go.

[l2biotics]

Aren't there always? I'm just a little annoyed at all the stalling going on. Either put me into action or let me ... [ mourn...] move on.

[sixthanimorph]

Doubt I'll run into him again, but your secret's safe with me if I do.

[notevengreat]

I guess yours focused on... one of those endings. [Destroy was sort of vicious on him, so he gets it.]

Maybe they just haven't found the right place to put you yet.

[l2biotics]

That's what he says...

He doesn't want to send me someplace where things could end up... different than what I remember. I appreciate it, but it doesn't make it any less frustrating.

[commanderbuzzcut]

[This Shep let anything get in his head? Please.]

I'm just a soldier. Nothing more.

[l2biotics]

[ It was a joke anyway. ]

[sixthanimorph]

[And have one teenager whirling around so fast you'd think he'd get whiplash.]

Geez, don't sneak up on people like that!

[notevengreat]

Timeline conflict issues, I guess? I know I've seen that happen. Sometimes you just have to roll with it, though, unless you can find that perfect spot.
