WHO: Celehar and Shepard
WHAT: Shepard braces, then goes to speak to Celehar
WHERE: Celehar's shelter
WHEN: A day or two after this conversation on The Ferryman's post
WARNINGS: Frank discussion of death and grief. May also eventually mention or vaguely describe asphyxiation (I will warn in the thread as well)
Allynbee Shepard was not given to hesitation. As a commander, she had to be direct and decisive, and off the battlefield, she generally preferred to be straightforward. It was why she alluded to her circumstances to the elf in messages. Still, she lingered before heading to Celehar's dwelling.
Having been dead was a fact; anyone who could access her dossier with Cerberus knew it - but talking about it felt vulnerable in a way that felt difficult to articulate, much less take seriously. It was just the truth. But being dead hadn't prepared her for anything this place had, and she suspected that it wouldn't prepare her going forward either.
She considered that Celehar might not believe her as she knocked on the door and tried to consider what she'd say if he didn't.
