Ashley: Hey Skipper. Glad to see you're looking better.
Shepard: Yeah, docs think I can be discharged as early as tomorrow afternoon. Just wanna make sure my implants aren't gonna suddenly drop out and... well, stop my heart or something.
Ashley: I thought you said the Doctors were happy with how you're healing.
Shepard: It's more like I want to make sure they're fully fnctional. First time I woke up after the Lazarus project, my arm wouldn't move and one of my lungs wasn't functioning properly. Chakwas and Miranda fixed it pretty easily, but still had me bedridden for long than I'd like.
Ashley: But you weren't fully healed to begin with anyway.
Shepard: True, but just humor me please. I think I've earned the right to be a little paranoid about my health. Especially after this damned war.
Ashley: Ok Skipper. You're right, better safe than sorry. Anyway, enough of that. Got a question for you today, Skip'.
Shepard: And here I thought you missed my manly charm.
Ashley: Oh - Always.
Shepard: Shoot.
Ashley: I think we both know what this is
*holds small velvet box in between her fingers*. Stumbled across it completely by accident after cleaning the cabin post-crash.
Shepard: ... Ah...
Ashley: No, I know there was a war going on, and we all thought we wouldn't see the next day, let alone the next minute. So, my question -
Questions - are 'were you serious' and if so, are you still serious?
Shepard: Y- What do you
mean 'Am I still serious?'
Ashley: I mean just that.
Shepard: Considering all the crap I've -
we've - endured over the past four years? Yes.
Ashley: ... Wow...
*looking at the box, turning it in hand.*Shepard: Now my question to you, have I earned a 'yes'?
Ashley: Can I actually have a proposal before answering?
Shepard: Can I get out of here first?
Ashley: ... *
playfully* Nah!
Shepard: Ok, make you a deal. I get out of here, give me a week and I'll set up with dazzling, breathtaking romantic... thing, then I'll do the whole 'down on one knee' act.
Ashley: *Contemplating.
Smiles tenderly, nodding.* Ok, Skipper. You've got yourself a deal.
Shepard:
*Smiles back.* Thank you Ash.
Ashley: *kisses him softly* I love you.
Shepard: I love you too.
