As good as you're gonna get. Unless you have the cash to burn and the vacation days to go somewhere further away than that?

Maybe. I've been trying to get him a little more into it these days

[Project: GET KAIDAN A DAMN HOBBY.]

[sassguard]

I don't think he'd appreciate being kept away from work too long.

Yeah? How's that going then?

text

[khajidont]

Okay I think. He seems to like it for the same reasons I do

But your apartment might be a mess for a while

text

[sassguard]

As long as it keeps him happy, I don't mind the mess.

You're right, he does need a hobby.

text

[khajidont]

Well at least I'm working on it. Do you have any that might rub off on him?

[...does Shep even have a hobby?]

text

[sassguard]

I like running.

[ SHEP THAT DOESN'T COUNT. ]

Re: text

[khajidont]

You're just as bad as he is aren't you?

[sassguard]

I'm not the problem here.

[khajidont]

You might be! Is that seriously your only hobby? Do you want to mess around with the engines too?

[sassguard]

I'm not really that interested in tech.

[khajidont]

So what are you interested in then?

[sassguard]

Making Kaidan happy?

We're getting off topic.

[khajidont]

that also doesn't count! But okay yeah the topic is tabled but not forgotten because Kaidan's birthday is more important.

For now.

He doesn't want a party right?

[sassguard]

That's what he said. But I'm sure "no party" doesn't mean "I don't want to see any of my friends."

[khajidont]

Well how about something small? Your place is too small though so we'd have to use mine

Just invite his closest friends and order a ton of food?

[sassguard]

Yeah, this isn't really somewhere you could hold a party.

Would your roommates mind?

[khajidont]

I don't think so. I'll double check.

[sassguard]

All right.

I'm not really sure who Kaidan would want to attend, but I can figure something out.

[khajidont]

Oh. Good point. I don't know either. The only person he ever brought back home when we lived together was you

[Shepard's hobby is keeping Kaidan happy, and Kaidan only ever brought Shepard home...? Yeesh. They really do need something else to do.]

Well there are some of the people from your world right? Maybe not all of them

[sassguard]

Most of them are my crew. I don't think he gets along with most of them

[ UNDERSTANDABLE as that is, it's a still a source of slight pain. It's hard when your SO disapproves of your buddies, man. ]

He mentions Flame Princess a lot.

[ THIS IS REALLY BAD... ]

Maybe we could go through the network and see if we're missing anyone?

[khajidont]

Maybe Kasumi? She seems nice. And I think I saw him and Ellie and Isaac talking so those are two more?

[Oh, no... they're really bad at this. He could make a post on the network, but Jaime doesn't doubt that there are people who'd crash that Kaidan wouldn't like.

He doesn't doubt there are people out there Kaidan doesn't like, and they have no idea.]

FIVE MINUTES LATER...

[khajidont]

It feels really weird e-stalking him

[sassguard]

He does seem to know them pretty well. We can invite them. And I'll ask Kasumi to behave.

[sassguard]

Of course it's going to feel weird if you call it e-stalking.

[khajidont]

That's what it is! Calling it something else won't change that.

Ooookay so that's you, me, Fire Princess (is that her real name or is that a nickname), Ellie, Isaac and Kasumi?

[Ellie and Isaac aren't party people, Jaime doesn't know what Flame Princess is like, and Kaidan's Kaidan.

Oh god, maybe this is a bad idea.]

Is that it?

Is he going to like this?
