[Let's say it's some sort of formal event.

Shepard's avoiding the dance floor like the plague, actually. When she spots her pilot over at the bar, she wanders up next to him and orders herself a drink.]

Hey.

[pluggedintheoverlord]

[They can rock those dress blues. But he's still got that hat on.]

Hey, Shepard. Having a good time?

[reigninginstars]

[Her fingers tap along the bar top.]

For the most part, until I get dragged into political talk.

[Oh goodie, her drink's here. She's going to take a drink of it.]

What about you?

[pluggedintheoverlord]

[He shrugged, taking a sip of his own drink.]

Just guarding the bar and trying not to make eye contact with anybody above my pay grade. It's what I'm good at. Got a lot of practice in.

[reigninginstars]

Sounds like you're having a total blast, Joker.

[She chuckles, looking down into her drink.]

[pluggedintheoverlord]

These kinds of parties really aren't my thing. But I'll take guarding the bar over hiding from politicians any day.

[He does not envy you, Shepard. You deal with the uncomfortable questions and the reporter punching, he'll keep a seat at the bar open for you, and everybody's happy, except for the reporters.]
