[Someone randomly talking behind her wasn't enough to make Shepard jump, she wasn't a jumpy person by nature. She nearly always moved with the sort of confidence that said she belonged in the space she was occupying and she'd like to see someone try and say otherwise.

But he speaks and the tool in her hands slips out and clatters to the ground as though he'd simply electrified her.

Mariah sat stock-still, eyes wide, though still looking off in the direction she'd been facing. It couldn't be...but then, she wasn't convinced she wasn't dead, so who was to say this place couldn't bring back those who should be gone?

God, it had been nearly three years and she'd only ever heard his voice haunting her nightmares in all that time. 'It's the right choice, and you know it, Ash.'

'Stay alive, I'll come and get you too.' 'I think we both know that isn't going to happen, Commander.']

Kaiden..?

[She stood and turned to face him, that shock unshakable as the sight of him shook her.]

[For Kaidan, it's not the same as looking onto the face of a person lost. She doesn't look like his Shepard, who had been fair-haired and strangely delicate when she wasn't on the battlefield. But the voice...the voice sounds a hell of a lot like her...to the point that hearing something so familiar come from a different pair of lips makes him almost light-headed with disorientation.

His mouth opens for a moment, uncertain and confused.]

How do you know me?

[Part of him doesn't really want to know the answer to that]

[frommindoirwithlove]

[She ran cold as her hope crumbled at the edges. He didn't know her. Did he forget? Had they simply never met? He looked...older. He'd seen and lived through so much more than that man she'd left behind on Virmire. He couldn't be from before.

She wanted so badly to see recognition in him, but already the walls and defenses were slamming up. She couldn't wallow in things that hurt, she wasn't some soft-touched flower to be crushed under her emotions.

Shepard straightened her posture, her uncertainty and vulnerability from before vanished as she took a step forward and offered her hand.]

Commander Mariah Shepard. Alliance Navy.

[She couldn't answer his question, not until she'd asked her own. Do you know me?]
