Explains why she made sure to keep out of arms reach next time I ran into her. [She shrugs her shoulders loosely, not particularly repentant.] I don't make a habit of hitting reports, you could say this was a special occasion.

[No one wants to deal with yappy reporters right after losing someone, it'd been a bad time for Shepard. Ash had been a good friend, practically a sister, and she'd yet to ever really get over the loss.]

Of course she's fine, was only a tap. Have you seen how squishy reporters are? If I'd hit her properly she'd be dead.
