‘ I’ve promised several people here something, and I always keep my promises. Since I won’t have time to do so myself, you’ll keep those promises for me. ’
LAST WISH STARTERS / ACCEPTING
Ashley sends a look over her shoulder and across the presidium before her gaze flies back to Shepard - eyes wide and mouth slightly open as she tries to process what shes’s being told . She knew that the two of them hadn’t been on best terms after Cerberus and Horizon but … she hadn’t thought that it had gotten bad enough that the Commander wanted rid of her ?
“ So you’re saying ? You’re saying that I’m being stationed on the Citadel going forward ? “
There’s a pause and then she inches forward just a little , head jutting forward as if to make their conversation just a little more private - stop anyone else overhearing and keep her embarrassment to herself .
“ Shepard no , all due respect but this is war … I’m a soldier . You need me out there on the front line with you . You know you do . “
Plus she’s not JUST a soldier anymore . She’s a spectre . She’s more than capable of holding her own , even if she is still slowly healing back to normal capacity . Her next line is no more than an urgent whisper .
