Characters: Neku Sakuraba and Commander Jane Shepard
When: 5/6
Where: Shepard's apartment
What: After his 'walk' with Joshua, Neku has a lot of thoughts bouncing around his head. Who better to spill them to then a certain sister-figure? Gingers unite

The last person Neku had expected to see again so soon was Joshua. Though, thinking on it, he wasn't surprised. After all Mr. H had told him (and not told him, Neku was sure) it seemed almost destined that the Composer would show up, as if arriving just to ruin this budding equilibrium he'd managed here.

Before he would have just hidden away. Now he had people around he could... confide in. It felt strange even considering it, but he felt that if he didn't say anything he'd explode from the pressure. As such he ended up on Shepard's doorstep, knocking lightly and wondering if the older woman would be off the pain meds by now

Shepard follows Neku across the room and sits down on the couch next to her partner. Her props herself on her elbows, which she sets on her knees.

"Not a friend of yours, I take it? Or were they not human before?"

She did talk to Thane earlier.

"...yes? No? Both?... It's complicated." He thumps his head against his knees in frustration.

"Sounds like it. Did something happen between you two?"

She frowns and tilts her head slightly to the side.

[scratchitti]

"..." He debates not telling her the truth- he knows she won't take it well. But lying to Shepard seems counter-intuitive at this point.

"...it's the guy that shot me."

[renegadedriving]

Well, that was entirely not what she was expecting.

"The guy who shot you? Holy shit, Neku, who is this guy?"

Because that is highly alarming and you do not touch her kids.

[scratchitti]

Yeeeah, he had expected something similar to that. With a slightly panic stricken face he raises his hands as if to stop her from leaving at right that moment. Possibly to go shoot Joshua in the face.

"Hold up, if I tell you, you gotta promise not to go after him. Okay?"
