Only if you actually mean that it's the complete opposite of what someone should be looking forward to.
Is he going to be alright?
Are you?
The crew?

[stealwithit]

Of course I meant the complete opposite.
And... well... I don't know anything about what happens after the last thing I remember from home, but... he's alive. So am I. But we lost some people.

[whathawksdo]

That's...
I'm sorry.
Kaidan? Big weird grey guy? Jacob?

[ Who else has she spoken to that she mostly hopes isn't dead...? ]

Bad taste in books man?

[stealwithit]

Kaidan... well, in my timeline or whatever you'd like to call it, he's fine. So is Garrus, if that's who you meant by big weird grey guy... Jacob's fine, too. And so is Joker.

[ She isn't sure if Hawke knows Samara or Thane, the latter of whom is the only one among them here who Kasumi knows didn't make it, but it's not really in her place to say such a thing especially if Hawke doesn't know the guy. ]

[whathawksdo]

Timeline stuff again.
But yes, Garrus. Weird grey guy, the one who isn't darkspawn.
That's good to hear, at least.

[ The rest, unfortunately, she has yet to officially meet. She may have seen them at the party, she may have not, but that they aren't named in even the strange descriptive way should say enough on that matter. ]

[stealwithit]

It's kind of a mess among the crew when it comes to timelines.

But there you go. Things aren't going to be easy for Shep at home. That's what really worries me...

[whathawksdo]

He's a tough guy.
And he won't be alone.
Not really, even with the lot of you here.

[stealwithit]

I know. And well, he'll still have the lot of us who are back at home with him. It's not like I've mysteriously disappeared from his timeline because I'm here.

[ Although... she did mysteriously disappear from his life for a time, and for a different reason, being which she didn't want to be involved with Shep's new crusade. ]

He'll still have Kaidan and Garrus and Joker and all the other people who stuck with him.

[whathawksdo]

I could say "well I think he'll pull through fine then" but
That isn't very comforting, is it?

[stealwithit]

No... not really. But I appreciate the thought, Hawke.

If anyone can make it through that mess, it's Shep. He's died once already and that didn't stop him, so.

[whathawksdo]

"Died once already"?

[stealwithit]

... Yeah.

[ just a small detail. ]

The first Normandy was destroyed in an attack, and Shep went along with it. This organization spent a fortune to basically reconstruct the Commander.

[whathawksdo]

So Shep isn't the original Shep?

[stealwithit]

I'm pretty sure it's still the original Shep, but he might have a few missing parts they replaced with tech. Simply put, at least. It's way more complicated than that, but unfortunately the woman in charge of the whole "bring Shep back from the dead" project isn't one of us who got stuck here.

Although... there was a clone of him running around at home at some point. That's what I heard, at least.

[whathawksdo]

Huh.
I think I'll be glad no one can do that to me if I ever get around to the whole dying thing.
It sounds like a strange way to go about life.
