Normandy Crew Deck, Sunday
Being back on the Normandy again... going through all this crazy shit... it felt right. Even if the whole rachni situation was messing with Kaidan, a little. His kneejerk doubts had faded some, but not completely. And so he sat, stretched out in a comfortable seat on the observation deck he now called home. Sipping his drink, staring at the stars outside...
Yeah. He'd missed that.
He looked up when the doors slid open, and wasn't surprised to find Shepard coming through. "So... rachni again, huh?" Kaidan said, setting his drink down. "Releasing the queen came back to bite us in the ass, I guess."
Cost a whole bunch of krogan their lives. Not that the krogan were the kind to complain.
Shepard rolled his shoulders. He looked away from the stars, down at Kaidan. "Never know what would've happened if we'd killed her," he pointed out.
He had a point. Sort of.
"Sure," Kaidan said. "'If a butterfly flaps its wings,', and all that."
Shepard quirked a smile. "You a fan of chaos theory, Kaidan?" he asked.
"Only so I can fight it," Kaidan said quietly. He turned his attention back to the window. "Hope bringing the rachni onside works out."
He felt the heavy weight of Shepard's hand, patting him on the shoulder. Then, just like that, the man was gone. Busy, probably. Lot of people making demands of him. Kaidan sighed, and snagged his communicator. It'd been... what, a week? Since the last time he talked to anyone back on Fandom--?
