“Like I said, a present.” the thief said, with a smile that clearly said this was going to be so much more fun Kasumi than it would be for Shepard. 

She skillfully flipped the clothing bag around, unzipping it in a single motion, and still with the same broad grin. “I got you something for the party. Can’t have you showing up in armor with a bold N7 stripe. At least not in the crowd we’re going to be dealing with.” she rambled as she pulled out the bag’s contents to reveal a black cocktail dress “You look like a Queen Anne neckline kind of girl, yeah?” 

Shepard shook her head as Kasumi spoke, becoming even more dumbstruck by the second. “I–” It was a bit to process, and for some reason the topic of her neckline caught her off guard the most, her hands feeling the exanpse of her throat.

“Wait… You didn’t say I’d have to–” As a hand moved to scratch her head, she eyed the cocktail dress carefully, scanning its every detail, before comparing it to her figure. She was always underweight, not something she liked to bring up with people nor liked in general, so it would fit her fine enough, but… “… Isn’t that too short? And… I’m not exactly, well… I’m not sure if this is going to work.”
