spacemechanics:
she finds that anger begins to set in, reactive to the embarrassment of her own obvious mishandling. the excuse she’ll give at face value — will not openly admit that she is riddled with a feeling of worthlessness, of complete & utter emptiness. that without her father, she is useless. could never have the strength that he did; the same feeling of home that he gave to this place.
she nears the point of breaking; where honesty is pressing at every emotion, making her throat tighten & her eyes sting. she’s thankful then, for the physical support of the commander’s grasp, grounding her. drawing her back from the depths of her own mind — kira shepard, she who successfully spat in the face of death. maya could only wonder how much it cost her… ❝ i — i think you’re right. fresh air’ll be good. ❞ she parrots, wiping greased hands with a rag before tossing it to the ground a little too aggressively. ❝ thanks commander. ❞
𝑨𝑵 𝑨𝑹𝑴 𝑮𝑬𝑵𝑻𝑳𝒀, 𝑨𝑳𝑴𝑶𝑺𝑻 𝑻𝑰𝑴𝑰𝑫𝑳𝒀 reaches to wrap around the slender frame of maya’s shoulder as shepard nods, teeth plucking at her lip before she issues a small smile. “everything down here can wait for a bit, you know?” she herself has always been a poor student of taking care of herself and for that, perhaps she recognizes a need in others. this ship has ghosts for her but maya’s ghost? that’s a different sort of haunting, one that pierces deeper and unrelentingly. “no need to thank me,” kira flashes a slip of a grin as she guides her towards the elevator, “just promise me the next time you see me looking like i’m gonna’ punch through my reports, tell me to take five.”
tired gaze looks her companion over, though there’s a fondness that seems the exhaustion creeping in at the edges of her eyes. “it’s weird being back, doesn’t feel right,” shepard breathes each word like a confession, “i...i know it’s been hard for you, maya, but i can’t tell you how much i appreciate you being here.”

shawky:
something about her reply puts him at ease . she’s not incensed by his curiosity ; instead , shepard teases . she seems to understand the question , but also defend herself in the same breath — — and shawky respects that . he respects her grin , her banter , her kindness . she’s not angered , nor off-put by the archaeologist’s question . she protects what she cares about . shawky ADMIRES that response . after hastily clearing his throat , shawky ducks his head briefly and hastens a hand over the back of his neck . ❝ i truly didn’t mean to pry , ❞ he promises , ❝ and i’m not — — 𝚒𝚝 𝚒𝚜𝚗'𝚝 𝚠𝚎𝚒𝚛𝚍 . not in the slightest . ❞ though he’s never found love , personally , shawky thinks highly of those that have . this war is terrible , vast , and great , a swell of death and burning . to find love amid the reapers’ ruin … it’s a feat . it should be applauded , not sneered at .
❝ i realize i’m a newcomer aboard , and some of this is very new to me . i just … wanted to ask . it’s not weird . it’s GOOD . ❞ after fixing his glasses , shawky smiles . ❝ we all need something to fight for . garrus , you said ? he’s tall . ❞ his eyebrows bounce upward . ❝ seems like a good fighter . when did you meet him ? ❞ so many questions .
𝑨 𝑺𝑰𝑮𝑯 𝑺𝑯𝑬 𝑫𝑰𝑫𝑵'𝑻 𝑲𝑵𝑶𝑾 she’d been holding eases from her lungs at his response. any hint of disbelief or disapproval from anyone would be swiftly and viciously dismissed, but nonetheless shepard finds herself relieved that she needn’t follow through with that instinct. she does like shawky, finds his observations not only tempered and thoughtful but of genuine value. of all the enemies she’s been accumulating of late, she’s happy not to add another to the growing ledger. “i’m not sure if you’ve worked with military before, but usually they don’t respond well to questions like that.” she lets the statement hover for a long moment, allows it to become just uncomfortable enough, and then flashes an easy grin. “luckily, i’m not like that. i don’t mind questions when i have the time to properly answer them.”
a hand lifts to tuck thick hair behind an ear, her posture easy and relaxed. “the longer you hang out with aliens, the most you realize that we humans have basically no evolutionary advantages,” shepard huffs and flicks a hand towards her midsection, “all thin skin and no claws or fangs to show for it.” her teeth pluck at her lower lip as she works, and fails, to hide a smile that reaches up all the way into tired gaze, “he was a c-sec officer back when the crew and i were trying to get intel on saren, figure out what we was up to.” a pause and a twitch of her lips. “he was really determined to see things right, figured we could use someone like that on our team and-,” a shrug of thin shoulders, voice rich with warmth, “never looked back. if you think he looks like a good soldier, wait until you see his aim.”

kira’s physicality shifts and changes depending on the situations shes in and is often the easiest way to decode how she’s feeling. she’s accustomed to using her body to take up as little space as possible so as to go unnoticed and, in turn, has difficulty projecting an authoritative form and stance early on after being named commander. she often runs her fingers through her hair or plays with her hands by her sides as nervous ticks, though actively works to try and curb her impulses in order to present a more confident appearance. (she actually tries to model some of samara’s physicality later on down the line, hoping to emulate some of her charisma and power.)

shawky:
❝ so … i don’t mean to pry . ❞ which probably means he’s going to , but with caution . shawky chooses his words carefully here . he’s not a long time member of the normandy , a faithful crewmate that’s seen every adventure unfold ; he’s new , a recent addition . he doesn’t have the connections , the familiarity . he’s here to uncover reaper and prothean secrets , anything that might save the galaxy while earth burns back home — — he’s certain shepard doesn’t trust him . still … shawky is 𝚞𝚗𝚋𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚟𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚢 𝚌𝚞𝚛𝚒𝚘𝚞𝚜 , and it’s not like him to smother curiosity down . ❝ but you … and the turian ? ❞ shawky decides to leave it at that , implied , his brows raised humorously high on his forehead . a vague gesture with his hands . his lips , pursed . shawky isn’t judging her , but he’s inquisitive . he saw @paragonchose holding the turian’s hand earlier , and shawky might have … well , filled in some blanks .
"𝑻𝑯𝑨𝑻'𝑺 𝑼𝑺𝑼𝑨𝑳𝑳𝒀 𝑾𝑯𝑨𝑻 𝑷𝑬𝑶𝑷𝑳𝑬 𝑺𝑨𝒀 just before they’re about to pry,” shepard muses back in response, but the archaeologist before her is hardly likely to ask the sort of pointed questions the media’s become fond of late, and for that her voice is free of any venom. still, her arms fold over her chest in preparation.
she blinks before she can help it, having anticipated questions about her visions after the beacon or the reapers or any multitude of things wholly separate from her private life. the corners of her lips twitch before she can help it and immediately shepard is thinking of the numerous excuses, covers, she’d practiced when the inevitable was nearly discovered. however, kira is tired, and they’ve both given up on hiding what’s too bright to be concealed any longer. “his name’s garrus ,” she replies and the smile on her lips is easy and warm, “but yes, me and the turian.”
“come on now,” she rocks her weight back onto her heels, a clever glimmer striking up in her gaze, “you deal with ancient civilizations for a living, it can’t be the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen.” a pause and the wry amusement in her voice softens to quiet earnestness. “i owe him a lot, wouldn’t be here without him.”
