*random dialogue ME3, post date*
Shepard: Hey Ash. Anything going?
Ashley: Catching up. Seems you weren't lazy while I was knocked out of action.
Shepard: Just the usual.
Ashley: Making an alliance between Turians and Krogans? Meeting Kirahee again? Showing the middle finger to a Dalatress?
Shepard: Just did it to save the galaxy. The usual.
Ashley: *snickers* Mr. Understatement, huh? Whatever. I'm more interested in the stuff that's not mentioned in the reports, Skipper. Like ... what you felt.
Shepard: I missed you, Ash. Really could have used your steady aim and firepower in those jobs. That moon of Palaven was a nightmare and we ran right into Cerberus while saving Eve.
Ashley: Thanks Skip. How do you make me feel guilty? *light frown* You sound as if it was my fault.
Shepard: Sorry *smirks*
Ashley: It's okay. I feel bad, not because of your words. I ... just wanted to be with you. Waiting on the Citadel for news about you was a nightmare. Read through lists of KIA and MIA soldiers, praying your name wouldn't appear on any of them.
Shepard: Can only imagine what you went through, Ash. One of many reasons why I didn't allow you to take Hackett's job.
Ashley: Guess I should be thankful then? Being part of the most suicidal mission in mankinds history seems to be the better deal than waiting for your name on those lists.
Shepard: I'm surprised the Alliance is able to keep them up to date ... every day passing means a growing death toll by millions.
Ashley: Yeah. Another reason why I hated to be taken out of action. I couldn't do anything, just waiting. *sigh* Skipper, just in case I ... get injured like that again, I want you to keep me on board. Chakwas is a good doctor, she can patch me together. Just don't leave me behind again, hmm?
Shepard: I'll keep that in mind, Ash. Just - stay alive.
Ashley: Don't intend to die, Skipper. Who else keeps you fighting if not me?
Shepard: Hackett and Anderson have their ways ...
Ashley: Do they? And what about ... this way ... *gently kisses him*
Shepard: *snickers* Nope ... that's not how they do it.
Ashley: They better don't ... I can be very, very jealous *laughs and dives in for a passionate kiss*
