He should have been a romance option.

The Eleventh Hour

Commander Shepard, sci-fi Cassandra

Saw an art meme going around of everyone drawing their faves like this on bsky and had to join in with Kaidan XD

Kasumi and Zaeed and employed by Ceberus but are only payed at the end of the job, so they have to rely on their own money to get by.

Grunt doesn’t have a bank account, Jack’s is probably frozen like…permanently until authorization, Samara only spends it on basic needs, and Garrus straight up doesn’t have a job.

Miranda, Jacob, Joker, and suprisingly Mordin are being payed by ceberus regularly. Legion does not need money, Thane has a sizable bank account, and Tali tends to get a decent amount of chits for all the information she sends to the fleet(just enough for medical expenses and needs)

So generally Shepard’s crew ask for a lot of favors which involve a lot of shopping trips. Shepard leaves a notepad on the fridge for her crew to write down different things they possibly want or need. Shepard tends to use her Ceberus funds on a lot of stupid things so she’s more than happy to ball out on her crews whims.

Optimist: This glass is half full.

Admiral Hackett: Shepard I need you to take care of this glass of water, you're the only one who can do it right.

Illusive man: Yes, I think it's morally correct to take away a glass of water from a child dying of thirst, but you don't have to agree with me.

Edi: This glass cup contains half of its volume worth of optimally mineralated water for human consumption.

Garrus: Can it wait for a bit? I'm-

Legion: Shepard commander, the volume of water is roughly 163.80083722 cm³.

Tali: This glass of water has enough pathogens to kill me.

Samara: I killed a person who drank water once.

Zaeed: I killed a person with a glass of water once.

Mordin: Primitive psychological test. Proven ineffective hundreds of solar years ago. Varren sexually transmitted disease on the Normandy a more relevant issue.

Joker: Ah thanks. [SLLURRRRPPPP]

Kasumi: [steals Joker's cup after drinking from it]

Grunt: [breaks it] It reminded me of my tank.

Jack: What is this? Why are you giving me this? Are you bribing me?

Wrex: Shepard.

Liara: [watches from Hagalaz and adds results from the test into their files]

Ashley: I can't believe Cerberus is bribing you with half a glass of water.

Miranda: Typical Alliance mindset. If we leave now I'll give you 5 glasses of water.
