My version of the ME1 LI and Shep's reunion:
Ash: "You cheated on me with WHO?"
Shep: "Tali...what...?"
Ash: "I am going to kill you. Then her. Then you again."
Shep: "If you go anywhere near Tali, I will kill you!"
Ash: "W-what!"
Shep: "Tali trusted me. She loves me. You obviously never did."
Ash: "But...you're leaving me for an alien?"
Shep: "And with a question like that, you wonder why."
Sorry. It just gets left in the dust every time I leave. That's how it would go, in effect, for my Shep.
Tali's light years ahead of Ash.
I can appreciate where you a coming from, however in my opinion Ash wasn't as xenophobic as many have made her out to be. She was hugely distrustful of Turians to start with and from her personal perspective as a combat soldier with her family's history and the repercussions they have lived with for two generations it shouldn't be too difficult to understand why that is. If you pick the Paragon path in ME1 Ash, while never becoming a full-on "alien lover", does actually step in to defend aliens against the open racism and bigotry from the Terra Firma (or whatever it was called) political party heckling at the Citadel.
That said, Ash is a bit of a hot head but far from unintelligent and she has a soft side which can be revealed with a bit of patience and nurturing. Considering some of the horrifict experiments Ash and Shepard witnessed from Cerberus cells in ME1 it is understandable that she is quick on the trigger while Shepard, having just been brought back to life and handed the resources he needs to effectively combat a galactic threat thanks to Cerberus when the Council wouldn't and the Alliance couldn't, might be a bit more receptive to working with them at least for the time being. I agree that Ash judges and condemns Shepard unfairly on the spot yet how many of us haven't rushed to words in the heat of a moment which we later regretted? Ash sends an e-mail stating something precisely to that effect. Also, imagine being convinced that someone you loved and dared share your most intimate parts of your being with after holding out for years on end has died suddenly appears before you after two plus years? I think that qualifies as a shock capable of turning your world upside down for a great many people. Sometimes we all just need a little time to mull things over, gauge the situation and adjust. I like romancing Ash in ME1 but I always felt Tali was naturally more comfortable and charming for my personal tastes but she wasn't romanceable in ME1. Thank the powers that be, and BioWare, that Tali is now a love interest in ME2.<3:wub:
