A/N: This one is especially short. I had an ice cream prompt, and felt it would fit with Kira. She's not very romantic, but she tries. Also, this takes place right after the Citadel coup.

Right after. Like I said, Kira's not very romantic.

Anyway, this is the end of my first grouping of drabbles. Hope you enjoyed! The next group should be up within a week or two, considering I can't stop writing about these two.

"Chocolate?"

Kira cocked her head to the side, her eyebrows furrowing in question as she sat across from Traynor. "I can't like chocolate ice cream?"

Traynor shrugged, poking at her own caramel-covered vanilla ice cream with her spoon. "I just always figured you'd for something more… I don't know, exciting."

Taking a small, thoughtful bite, Kira muttered, "Why?"

"No reason. It just—chocolate seems a bit normal for Commander Shepard."

Picking up the small bowl and leaning back in her seat, Kira mused, "If we were back on Earth—or back when I lived on Mindoir—I would've gotten cookies and cream with chocolate syrup and nuts on top. But we're in the middle of a Reaper invasion. Maybe I wanted something normal."

"Right," Traynor smirked, "and what about me? On a date with a living legend, outside a ruined ice cream shop, after watching you shoot a man's head off from a mile away and almost single-handedly stop a Cerberus coup."

"A mile away? It was barely fifty meters. And I had plenty of help. And it's not—" Kira paused, taking another look at the part of the Citadel they were on; shattered glass and ejected thermal clips littered the courtyard, and the ice cream shop they'd "visited" was covered in scorch marks. "Okay," she conceded, "the shop's ruined."

"And what about that says normal to you?"

"All things considered, this has been a relatively uneventful day." Grabbing her sniper rifle from the seat next to her, Kira stood, holding a hand out to pull Traynor up too. "You're with me, now, and I've got a very different definition of normal."

"Can we at least agree not to make run-ins with assassins part of that definition?"

"No promises."
