All right. I'll bite.

What's this 'party' supposed to be about, exactly?

[Not that he's thinking he'll go. Which may be obvious from the flat tone.]

don't understand humans, !ic, indulge me, calibrate calibrate calibrate, alien dinosaur what do, !holloways, batman hates holidays, humans how do they do

It's a place to be and something to do. Closest thing we've had to shore leave in a while, matter of fact.

So I guess this means we're going.

If relaxing is so difficult, think of it this way-- I bet you a hundred creds something is going to happen at this 'party'. I'm not going unarmed.

Well, when there's a hundred credits on the line... how can I refuse?

Bottom line? You can't.

So we had better get started on picking out appropriate costumes.

Damn. I was just looking for an opportunity to pay you the hundred credits I don't have.

... Uh. Yeah. I guess we should.

A little debt in the middle of nowhere never hurt anybody that I know of.

[Besides, if they ever get out, Shepard would conveniently forget the bargain to begin with. Or surprise him one day. If they survive.]

You never pretended to be somebody else as a kid?

That you know of, anyway.

[But hey, he sounds amused, anyway.]

I uh... once or... twice.

Sky's the limit, soldier. I hate vanity shopping as much as the next person, but at least we have room for creativity.

Can't I just say I'm a failed turian Spectre, and leave it there?

No, you can't. Failure implies you were given a chance.

[He doesn't quite know how to respond to that, at first.]

Yeah, all right.

[Agreement is the default option.]

You have any ideas, then?

[Shepard snorts. Maybe a little rudely, but she knows a deflection when she hears one. For the moment, it's not worth a confrontation. He knows she says nothing that she doesn't mean.

He had better, anyway.]

The way I see it, if I think there could be a need for functionality, I go with functional gear. Have something in mind, but I'll be checking out my options.

[He knows she knows. Or at least, figures it out. That snort is sort of obvious, Commander.]

[But yeah. He trusts her word.]

You want some backup? Some of those costumes might leap off the racks, the way things are going.

[He's mostly joking.]

[Mooostly.]

Sure. Just need someone on my six to keep an eye out for crocodiles while I shop around.

I'll do my best. Not sure my rifle's any good against stone, but maybe I'll distract them somehow.
