In the middle of some...

comediaace:

“Hey.”

   ”Shepard! Hey! Y-you just missed snack time… actually, that’s probably a good thing. Thanks for coming.”

“No problem.”

This is just so perfect. The way Kaidan sits up the instant he hears Shepard’s voice, how he starts talking about snack time and finally says “thanks for coming”, all of it so very quickly. It’s not really nervous, not entirely awkward, but it’s not cool and collected either. It’s like he wasn’t sure Shepard would come, so the moment he walks through that door Kaidan’s instant reaction is “Shepard! Hey!”. He’s still Kaidan though, always calm; even when he’s excited, surprised or angry. But even so his reaction is so open and emotional (and absolutely adorable).
