┊◣N7◥┊

     From the moment she’d stepped in and laid her eyes on him, a faint blush had crept onto her cheeks. Standing there in his work-of-art suit had her eyes running along his frame before meeting his eyes just as he looked away. He was a handsome man, if she’d ever seen one, despite the scars he bore, whether visible or not. But perhaps it was those scars that drew her eye… Not because it made him look rough and like a “bad boy” but because…Because it made him human. Bodies were very much like blank maps, and their scars marking the paths each person took in life- and Valentin’s scars?

   His journey had been a long one, so it seemed; One with which she could compare to her own path-markings.

 As she caught his gaze with hers once more after he put the hoodie on , she noticed the look there in his eyes. Then, after a moment of hesitation, Segen steps forward further into the room, the door swishing close behind her as she crosses over to him, her dress’s train flowing about her legs as she moved—grace like flowing water.

 ”You don’t have to apologize.” She replies softly, bending over to take the suit jacket from where he’d tossed it in hand, looking down at it, her thumb running over the fine material. Then, without looking up, she says something without really bothering to stop herself.

 ”You look handsome in whatever you wear, Valentin.”  A short pause, her cheeks heating further as she realizes what she’s said, and then, with her voice a bit quieter-

             ”If you’re having second thoughts about this… I wouldn’t be mad.”  She’d understand, actually. After all, Who’d want to go out with her? She was a broken mess of a soldier, and even more broken of a woman.

"Who do I look like? Fuckin' Alenko? I don't back out of nothing." Despite his courageous words, his voice quivered in uncertainty with every uttered syllable. His last shore leave had been an absolute disaster that reminded him of just how much he hated socialization. Only on Anderson's request had he dragged himself out of his apartment to finally attempt to get out of his comfort zone. A social gathering with an acquaintance, eating dinner in a public restaurant, where he would be forced to dress in ordinary clothing, without weapons or armor. He would attempt to spend one night as an ordinary human being before going back to hiding. In the end, however, it was a trap, just like he always suspected. It was what he deserved, for pushing his own boundaries. He should have known it wouldn't have gone well. 

"...You don't have to get all mopey or nothing. Don't worry, I... I ain't wearing the hoodie neither, so you don't have to go around pretending I look decent." With nervous movements, he slipped off the filthy sweatshirt that admittedly reeked of sweat, stale food, and social isolation. "Just let me think of a way to get this dumbass monkey suit while finding a place to put my pistol. I ain't going in unarmed. Learned my lesson last time. Ain't never just 'a dinner' with me."

He nervously mumbled to himself as he threw on his waistcoat.

"...Does the tie go on before or after this dumbass monkey vest? Hell, you know more fashion shit than I do. Don't just stand there like an idiot. Help me out. Do you want me to look decent or not?"

[rine-shepard]

"Oh and earning that is a walk in the park. And you know what Anderson is a good guy, spent some time around him. He was the first Alliance I didn’t want to kill. Looks like he remains to be the first and only one."

"And you know what, the only reason why I’m here is cause the pay is good and you’re letting me kill."

[unorthodoxsaint]

"Your motivations don't mean shit. Keep your mouth shut, do your damn job, and we ain't gonna have a problem. Anderson may have raised me, but I ain't him. I don't got his patience.

Honestly, Anderson's too damn generous for his own good. Shouldn't have had to put up with being around you."

"Only_ you _would think they were hurdles. Before becoming councilor I asked you to complete things in a way that would** gain** us support. Instead you bring unsupported reports and unrealistic expectations. I have been trying to help humanity secure it’s position for years, but it’s soldiers like you help set that back no matter how much I try to make us not look like a bunch of jackasses storming our way through every problem. Something you have perfected.”

[unorthodoxsaint]

"Soldiers like me?! You mean the people that risk their lives fighting off Collectors, and Geth, and fuckin' Banshees, all so you can go on jerking off in this political cesspool?

How about you just admit that your dumbass diplomacy don't work? If we followed your lead, we all would have died back when Saren was still a problem. These aliens ain't gonna listen to anything we have to say. We have to force them in line and lead the pack through example. How about this for a final 'negotiation?' Everyone who doesn't help Earth now ain't getting saved by me later."

[rine-shepard]

"Hey I’m all for honesty but I think you aren’t being honest but just saying it to be a dick. I can’t help but think you don’t know how to be ‘nice’ because you see it as a weakness and you want to keep people as far away from you as possible."

"Hope you don’t mind me being, honest.”

[unorthodoxsaint]

"Oh, I can be nice if I damn well choose to do so. But none of you sorry bastards deserve a single fucking ounce of kindness from me! You ain't entitled to it. You want my respect, then earn it. 

Hell, try being like Anderson! I'm damn nice to that man, and to hell with anyone who says otherwise."

[unorthodoxsaint]

rineshepard​ "And you wonder why I said wow huh?" She chuckles softly smirking at the man. "You know there is a name for people like you… I’m pretty sure it’s dick." 

"Well, I'm pretty sure it's actually 'honest.' See, I like to think I do this galaxy a huge goddamn favor by saying the shit everyone else is too damn afraid to. This galaxy needs leaders like me."

[unorthodoxsaint]

Joker gave the commander a disapproving glare.

"No commander, you're just the regular kind of asshole."

[unorthodoxsaint]

"Ain't like I deny it. Why should I, when everyone in this goddamn galaxy already knows? But you want to know what's funny, Joker? What's really fucking funny? Nobody gives a shit.

It don't matter who I kill, or who I betray, or how many I sacrifice, when I'm the only thing standing between this galaxy and the fucking Reapers. Because let's face it- you'd all die without me. Everyone is so goddamn desperate, they'd eat their own shit if I said it'd help the war effort."

[cerberusly]

  If there was anything that the commander would like about the holiday, Kelly didn’t think it’d be the candy, which some people thought was just a waste of time and a ploy for companies to boost their chocolate and candy sales. Who would’ve known that Shepard had a sweet tooth? It made her grin, watching the commander go on about his candy preference. Maybe  wouldn’t be completely left out from the celebration after all. "So if I were to somehow come across those bags of heart candies, how many would you want hidden by your door?"

[unorthodoxsaint]

"Don't need no more. Not when I buy in bulk every year. You know those giant boxes the candy factories ship to convenience stores? I bought a few of those; should last me a month or two.

If you want, we can share- I can give you all the pink and purple ones. They're pretty fuckin' sick, but then again, so are you. They'd be right up your alley. Maybe this year, I won't have to vent them all out the airlock. Sucks wasting food like that, even if it's gross." 

[halevuni]

"I know you didn’t," he says, and it’s almost like he’s reassuring the other man, "I never said you did." His jaw unclenches and he hadn’t really realized how tense his jaw had been until he ceased the action. “I know it wasn’t easy. It couldn’t have been. All those factors and people working against you… I guess that’s why I respect you. You survived. And trust me, I know you haven’t gone soft. If you did, I’d probably ask Chakwas to check on you, because something had to have gone wrong.”

[unorthodoxsaint]

"Something always goes wrong. By this point, it don't feel right 'til shit hits the fan. Any mission that goes too smoothly actually starts to bother me. The anticipation's worse than anything else. At least when things are terrible from the start, I know what to expect going forward. Like the time I infiltrated that fuckin' Collector ship- the one that brought down the original Normandy. I would have been fine fighting my way through, but when we got in, it was completely empty. That was the worst of it, you know? The fact that it was so damn quiet, my footsteps echoed for miles. Felt like I was wandering around for hours; I don't actually know how long it took for the Collectors to show up. Hell, when we started fighting, I was actually relieved that something, anything, finally happened. 

It would have been nice to have you around, you know? Stumbling around that empty ship with people I didn't trust, just waiting to get blown to pieces or gassed to death- it's never gotten worse than that. Not even when Earth fell. I'd take all-out war over that kind of dread and uncertainty any fucking day of the week. ...It really would have been a comfort to have you there. I know I always gave you hell, especially after Horizon, but I just... It would have been nice."

[jokerofthenormandy]

  "says you, at least I try and settle for just one person.

I don’t feel the need to get into everyone’s pants.”

[unorthodoxsaint]

Why was it that everyone felt the need to make baseless accusations regarding his promiscuity? Did he really look like that much of a playboy?

"When outside of missions have I ever said one fucking word to anyone on this ship? Where's your evidence, Joker, or are you just talking our of your ass like usual? As if Id settle for anyone here. Who're my options: Liara and Tali? I ain't sleeping with no alien."

In truth, he wasn't sleeping with anybody. Not when he was far too afraid to lose his virginity.

Thank you, however, to everybody who sent one in! I'll try to remember who you are, and the next time I reblog one of those pencil things, I'll push you to the front of the queue.]
