AS SAID BY KAIDAN ALENKO
* assorted dialogue from mass effect
i’m glad we didn’t lose you.
you had to push me out of the way.
the blast knocked you out cold.
i’m glad to see you’re okay.
maybe you’re right. things went bad. real bad.
is that why you’re here? because of your family?
i don’t see how we could’ve done any better.
i’ve wasted enough of your time for now.
off the record, i think there’s something wrong here.
there’s writing on the wall here, but someone isn’t reading it.
maybe i was romantic in the beginning.
i’m not question the mission. i’m just concerned.
there was never any proof of that.
you make a habit of getting this personal with everyone?
i’ll need some time to process that.
do you have time to talk now?
we’ve got some tough calls to make.
i’ve seen what cutting corners can do to someone, and i’d hate to have that happen to you.
you tell me if i’m going too far.
maybe there’s someone else you’d rather confide in.
i don’t want to step on anyone’s toes.
i apologize for bringing it up.
i’m not questioning any decision you’ve made. let me be clear about that.
if i’m out of line, just say the word.
just think about what i said.
if i ever get a speeding ticket, i want you to be my advocate.
we haven’t had time together since our last chat and… a lot was said.
sorry. not sure where i stand. you seem a bit… uh. distracted.
i don’t want to distract you too much.
maybe my intentions were noble, but i lost control. i killed him.
this is all ancient history. i’m over it.
you don’t have to worry about me. i won’t be a burden on you.
all right, but it’s embarrassing you had to tell me that.
i might need to loosen up a little. i’ll try.
i’ve got a few scratches and dents. i hope they just give me character.
i outgrew the blame game years ago.
they aren’t… malicious. they’re just slow to change.
don’t ream me out for having an opinion.
i thought we respected each other more than that.
i’m here. i’m not going anywhere.
you saved my life. i’m grateful for that.
sorry for anything i said back there. adrenaline.
should i be afraid of them? or in awe of them?
i’m not trying to make anyone uncomfortable.
i’m not jealous. i’m confused.
if you’re not serious about me, it’ll hurt but i’ll get over it.
i’ve got a lot tied up in you.
did i misread you? jeez, what else have i got wrong?
we’re closer than ever, thanks to you.
i don’t think i’ve ever met someone like you.
please, you’ll make me blush.
you know you can count on me.
if i can be of any help, let me know.
i hope i’m not out of line saying that.
i always leave a way out. you know that.
that’s what i… appreciate about you.
you’re something else, you know?
i hope we’re close enough after everything we’ve said already.
what happens if this doesn’t work out?
well if i didn’t think you were doing the right thing, i wouldn’t be here.
you know what, you’re right… about everything.
i think about losing you and i can’t stand it.
