Sorry for such a short chapter.
Chapter 3: Coffee Break
Shepard plops onto the couch in the Human Embassy's office, sighing heavily. "I feel like an errand boy, or something. I mean going around the entire citadel to find three different people. Sounds like a lot of effort. "
Both Ashley and Kaidan look at their leader, confused expressions on their faces.
Ashley replies, "But Commander, if we don't stop Saren, humanity might be lost."
The Commander rolls over on to her side, her back facing the two soldiers. "I know, I know. Just seems like… a lot of work."
The Alliance soldier rolls her eyes, marching over Shepard. Reaching out, she grabs onto the collar of the woman's armour, dragging her off the couch, throwing her to the floor. "Stop complaining, you baby. Get off your lazy ass, and help us catch his bastard."
Shepard rubs the back of her head, looking up at Ashley. But upon looking at Ashley's' slightly pouted face, the Commander cracks a smile, bursting out laughing.
Ashley looks back at Kaidan. "She's crazy, right? It's not just me?"
"Yeah. She's a little different. That's for sure." Kaidan replies.
The Commander gets onto her feet, catching her breathe as her laughter dies. "Don't be mean… I might not be strict, or rough like other commanders in the Alliance Fleet, but does that make me mean?" Shepard pouts, her bottom lip sticking out.
Ashley frowns, shaking her head. "Sorry… I didn't mean to offend-"She is cut off by Shepard.
"Plus, seeing your expression when you're irritated is very cute." The Commander's smile goes brighter, causing Ashley to blush deeply.
Clapping her hands together, Commander Shepard marches over to the Ambassador's desk, taking a big gulp of coffee from the cup on the desk. After letting out a loud sigh, she turns around, facing both soldiers. "Let get to it, huh?"
