"Okay Ash ready?" Shepard looks at Ashley.

"Whenever you are Skipper." She nods.

"Okay you wanna start with long soft strokes to get the outline of the drawing, and you chose to draw an eye right?" Looks from his paper to her.

"Yep...", she says while finishing the outline,"Okay, got it. Woah how'd you make yours look so good?" She looks at Shepard's picture.

"I kinda taught myself drawing when I was younger. It kept me occupied when I was traveling with my mom."

"Well mine looks like a stupid blob." Ashley looks disappointingly at her paper.

"Hey you wanted me to teach you and I will." He smiles at her.

"I know," she says reassuringly,"I still want to. Besides, I wanna know what your other talents are." She smiles mischievously.

"I see... well I better make this quick then." He smirks. "Alright, how about I draw your outline. Getting the eye's shape is the hardest." Shepard slides her paper across the table to him. He skillfully draws it quick for her. "Now that's done, we can get the iris."

"Okay, I can do THAT."

Shepard holds in his laughter while watching her draw.

"Damn it! How can I mess up an IRIS this bad." Ashley slumps in defeat as she slides her pencil away.

Shepard laughs,"You gotta try more than once Ash."

She sticks her tongue out at him.

"You know, did I ever tell you how beautiful your big brown eyes were?" Shepard sincerely looks into her eyes with a warm smile.

Ashley looks at him in disbelief,"Okay, that's it, I'm gonna teach you one of my talents."

Shepard leans back in surprise as Ashley starts climbing on the table.

She swipes her paper off the table and attacks him.

They both laugh under their kisses as Shepard carries both of them to the bedroom.


Another small dialogue with better grammar structure than my first x) I hope someone likes it. Wrote this one a little bit ago.

I am working on a bigger post-war story. School's starting tomorrow so I'm gonna get to it as much as I can tonight! hehe.
