"Yeah..." Elle trails off with a playful look of pseudo-disappointment before smiling up at her again. "But it isn't all bad."

Shepard shrugs as she gently nudges Clara with her bottled hand. "I got to meet you, after all."

Her flirting is corny and straight-forward enough to make any onlooker cringe, but it's paired with such a shameless confidence that Shepard doesn't even flinch. She isn't looking for anything casual nor is she ready for anything serious, but there's a spark of interest in her that she can't deny. Heck, she's still settling in here, and who knows how long that'll take.

What's the harm in a little playful flirting anyway?
