(Don't sell yourself short, Rhan. Of course I'd know you. I'd know you anywhere.)
[Is that a threat? A boast? Maybe it's just a way to get the last word, win an argument. But then, there's the other thing, danger-voiced as it is... Is Shepard flirting? Is she ever not?]
(We're not exactly getting statistical samplesets here, are we?)
[If you were sending people on a diplomatic mission, would you send a representative cross-section, or just the most likely winners from the political leaders? Shepard's skeptical. Either way, something in that last bit tickles soemthing in her memory. Violent, ugly backwaters, never seen the homeworld from space, never even been to space, likely, before the Nest? Huh. Not a bad guess.
She's won worse poker hands.
But it reminds her, obscurely, or the tripartate mouth of a Yahg, vast and animalistic in his (her?) rage, charging free through a Salarian facility. Regarding Shepard with barely-leashed civility over the edge of a console. You cannot underestimate those who come from nothing; they know exactly how much they have to lose. Shepard knew that, firsthand.]
(What matters isn't where you're from. It's what you're doing with it.)
