Ah… Admiral Zorah! -the young man looks nervous, however there’s a glow in his eyes that shows interest, curiosity- Is there anything I can do for you?

Oh, no no! Carry on with..what are you doing? [Eyes him curiously.]

Ah... -he awkwardly shows the white bag in his hand, offering a grimace- Delivery. The joys of menial labor.

C-Commander. It’s an honor… though a bit unexpected. Is there something I can do for you?

"Perhaps. Although I can’t pretend like I’m the only one who did anything in the war."

Takuya smiled. “Well, that I can agree with. Had family that were in Alliance at the time.” He frowned for a moment, eyebrows furrowed. “I suppose one thing is that its a little hard to adjust to normal life now.”

Takuya tried to stifle a laugh. It might not have been the most polite thing toward a galactic hero. "You can't afford a house?" he asked, "Thought being a spectre would be a lucrative career choice."

At the sight of the commander, Takuya stood a little straighter, tried to seem a little more confident in who he was. “Commander Shepard,” he greeted and right away, his voice gave away his nerves. “I… I hope everything is going well.”

The new voice turned his head. At the sight of the younger man, he gave a small nod of acknowledgement. Being recognized on the street was nothing new for the commander. “Everything’s fine on my end,” Shepard replied with a half smile, “how about you?”

"I'm, ah, that's good," he spluttered, not bothering to hide the relief in his voice. Whether it was a lie or not, it was still comforting to hear good news from Commander Shepard himself. He could respect that. Almost believe that. "Things are fine enough," Takuya dismissed, "C-sec makes sure we stay comfortable despite the circumstances, and I have work. That's more luck that some of the others."

"With all due respect sir, you still thank a soldier that does his duty," Takuya disagreed, "You’ve done a lot more than that."

"Perhaps. Although I can’t pretend like I’m the only one who did anything in the war."

Takuya smiled. "Well, that I can agree with. Had family that were in Alliance at the time." He frowned for a moment, eyebrows furrowed. "I suppose one thing is that its a little hard to adjust to normal life now."

Nice too meet you, Takuya. How is everything going? I haven’t had a chance to really see much of anything outside the Citadel, and even then I’ve been busy in the Presidium mostly.

Um. -he struggles for a moment- Things are recovering well enough I suppose. It’s far better than the prospects we were left with during the war, so there really isn’t much I could complain about. Er. Thank you.

"With all due respect sir, you still thank a soldier that does his duty," Takuya disagreed, "You've done a lot more than that."
