[ MSG : Hackett ]: Fair enough. But I still think my take on the story is better.

[ MSG : Hackett ]: Alright now, no need to put yourself down. I think a hero knows one when she sees and meets one. You count, even by a small margin.

[ MSG : Hackett ]: Wasn’t I just the most adorable thing? I bet half of your “battle scars” were caused by me. Which, I guess, I should apologize for. You’re the only one crazy enough to have ran after me. I don’t think my childhood wouldn’t have been nearly as fun if I hadn’t had you chasing after me.

[ MSG : Hackett ]: Aye aye. Heard they tasted disgusting - where can I find them?

[MSG; A. Shepard] Adorable?
[MSG; A. Shepard] … That’s one way to put it. So is terrifying and pain in the ass. 
[MSG; A. Shepard] I’m glad one of us at least enjoyed all the running around and falling, because I certainly didn’t. 
[MSG; A. Shepard] Disgusting, but effective.They’re in the cabinet above the kitchen sink.

connmandershepard:

 [ MSG : Hackett ]: Yeah, don’t worry. I’ll stick to the “distracted” cover story when I re-tell it to my crew. Don’t want them to think you were caught off guard by a child - and me, at that.

[ MSG : Hackett ]: Now, you just sound like a villain. Mark my words. That day is coming. You will fall. I just spat my drink.

[ MSG : Hackett ]: Emphasis on the if, old man. You’re not dying anytime soon. If I ever end up having kids I want them to meet you. And scare the shit out of you too.

[MSG; A. Shepard] I think you’;ll find that the crew will be more likely to believe my distracted excuse rather than whatever story you have. Mine actually sounds plausible.
[MSG; A. Shepard] I’m not exactly a hero, Shepard. I leave that to you.
[MSG; A. Shepard] After watching you grow up, I think I know every trick in the book, I doubt whatever children you have will manage to case even half the mischief you did. I have scars from chasing after you. My entire left knee cap is covered in scars after tripping over you. Speaking of which, bring me some arthritis pills. 

connmandershepard:

[ MSG : Hackett ]: To be frank, I’m glad I don’t. And mind you, I always find a place to hide. I think you of all people knew that.

[ MSG: Hackett ]: Is that a challenge? And to correct you, you didn’t always find me that fast. I remember once I hid from you long enough that everyone aboard the ship was looking for me. And then I popped up behind you being the shithead that I was, and still am. I scared you back there.

[ MSG : Hackett ]: I’ve been giving you heartattacks since 2161.

[MSG; A. Shepard] I was distracted, trying to oversee some repairs that were being done to the ship, Missy. I still haven’t forgiven you for that, and one day I will get my revenge. Mark my words, Athena, that day is coming, and when it does…You will fall. And you’ll fall hard.
[MSG; A. Shepard] If I die I’m leaving a note that says it was you.

connmandershepard:

[MSG : Hackett ]: It’s not like she’ll come into your house and inspect all of your dinnerware. Only the big plates are gone - I’ll get you replacements.

[MSG : Hackett ]: What? I’m just stating facts. Though, if you do come out here and “get me”, I may just awaken my inner seven year old and hide from you. Except, you know, I won’t be as stealthy. Or as small.

[MSG; A. Shepard] You obviously don’t know her very well.
[MSG; A. Shepard] For the love of God, Shepard. Don’t you dare. Not like there’s any place to hide in the apartment anyways. And if my memory serves me correctly, I always found you within a minute or two, I think it’s safe to say you haven’t improved over the years.

connmandershepard:

[MSG : Hackett ]: I’m not breaking them on purpose. I just accidentally hit the shelf. I’ll buy you new ones.

[MSG : Hackett]: P.S. “Don’t make me come out there” sounds like you’re threatening a child. Might I remind you I am thirty two years old. 

[MSG; A. Shepard] Please tell me you didn’t break all of them. They were a gift from the asari Councillor.
[MSG; A. Shepard] … No comment.

[ LUCKY LUCKY LUUUUUCKY CHICK. -lies down in hopes to nurse hangover- ]
