[She might not show it, but some part of him senses her sadness anyway. Maybe it's intrisic, or maybe it just comes from the struggles they've all been dealing with for over a month. The heavens haven't made the greatest (first, second, third) impression. And no matter how happy Yamato is with Shepard, she's made it clear that she doesn't feel the same way about the circumstances.
(Not him, she says, it's nothing to do with him, she says, but fear and doubt nestle inside him anyway. Him or her old life, should the choice arise--is there really any question of what she would choose? What any of the gods would choose?)
He wouldn't judge her for tears, not in a situation like this. But she's right. They won't help, and there isn't anything Yamato could say that would, either.
(Avoiding things that make them upset--that's a habit he picked up somewhere, too. But where?)]
I'm glad you like it. It took a little time to learn how to get it right. [He hadn't gone out and plucked the leaves personally, but if Shepard asked, he'd do it without complaint.] Commander-kun doesn't like to cook, but she likes eating and drinking, so I'm trying to learn.
