[Shepard's not a woman given over to sentiment. But this is...

Actually, it's infuriating. How dare he-- how dare anyone reach down into her and take something small and innocent and kind, like this, and bring it out into the light? When Cerberus had ferreted out her love of pets, of fish specifically, there had been no recourse. It's when she realizes that that's where she's going with this, that Shepard is able to force a stop. And breathe.

Bucky Barnes is not a space nazi. He's not giving you fish to manipulate you.

He's...

Is he a friend? I guess he has to be.

So, she takes the fish, somewhat awkwardly, and thanks him. And then realizes that she has to have something for him in return-- obviously she has to have something. You wait a minute right here, don't move. She'll be right back.

But when she comes back with her gift, for him, it's maybe clear that it's been pulled out of the souvenirs that she bought (or stole) during their time on Waypoint Shril. It's a lovely big box, with everything needed inside. And now it's yours, Bucky.
