Dark Cadence - 1
Summary: Shepard is being followed. From small space ports to the Citadel. Question is: Who is it and Why?
Inspired by a prompt over on the Mass Effect Kink Meme. Yes, this is the second one with this pairing. I'll probably fill more for this pairing over there, so if you want you can leave a prompt for these two at the meme, it's anonymous.
There was a whirr as a ship started up that steadily grew louder until it joined all the other ships coming and going from the port.
Shepard watched from the railing above the main entrance. The Normandy was currently in there as well getting fuel so they could jump into solar systems and look for stranded people, as well as items for the Crucible. It was taking longer than usual though because of lack of supplies in this space port but they hadn't had enough fuel to get to another. So they were stuck here, for now anyways.
She pushed from the railing, turning to walk through the thick crowds that held her shipmates in them as well, somewhere. It would still be an hour until they needed to be back on the ship though so she didn't bother looking for them as she squeezed past people. It appeared that no one was looking at her uniform and then getting out of the way like they tended to do at the Citadel. Everyone was just hurrying to get their supplies, return to their ship, and get as far away from the Reapers as possible. Except no where was safe from them and this running didn't help matters very much. Now more recruits for the Alliance and it's allies would be helpful.
There was a light pressure on her shoulder and Shepard turned slightly to get out of the way of whoever it was but the hand stayed on the spot. "Excuse me-" she began, turning her head to glance over her shoulder but the hand moved now, following the curve of her upper back to her other shoulder before falling away completely. Shepard glanced quickly to her other side but whoever it had been was now lost in the crowd.
With a frown she turned back around to continue towards the shops in the hope that some still had good gun upgrades lying around.
