Cayde: Oh!  Before we keep going with the other stuff, I wanted to put a little something special here, being the romantic that I am.  I know, you're surprised, What with me always being such the rugged, silent, manly type and all.  But, yeah, it's true.  I gotta bit of a soft spot.  And, the story goes like this: Back just after the red war, the city was almost totally destroyed in some areas.  On top of that, there were still a bunch of big uglies that got left behind when the cabal hightailed it outta here.  So, Zavala, Ikora, Ais, and I were doing a little clean up duty - takin' out the trash.  Now, at this point, ais and I already realized we kinda had a thing for each other since she saved me an' all on Nessus.  Nothing spoken an' we kinda more were just ... well, it was a close friendship.  We leaned on each other.  lotsa late night chats an' just sittin' together, bein' there for each other, that sorta thing.  We got real close.  Hell, I was practically livin' in her apartment.  But it Never went beyond that.  Think We knew, though.  That there was somethin' there.  Hell, I think everyone knew.  Thinking back on it, Ikora would be watching us and, now, I'm pretty sure she was just waiting for the moment when one of us made the move.  I wouldn't even be surprised if Zavala and her had a bet on who would make it first.  If it was on me, they'd have lost.  Cause, w-well, I hate to admit it but, I was scared.  I really - I had no idea what I was doing, or if it was breaking some kind of rule or whatever.  I just didn't want to screw anything up for once.  I was happy havin' that close friendship.  didn't wanna make an ass of myself and lose that.  But ais?  Oh, man.  She - she always had this way of seeing right through me.  She got me.  And I guess she knew I wouldn't make that move so she sorta did.  At least ... gave me a little nudge to let me know she felt it, too.  Anyway, back to us taking care of the cabal: so we finish up this block and duck into a shop around the corner to sit down and have drink.  Zavala and ikora were talking strategy and which area to hit next.  Or something like that.  Not sure.  I was only half paying attention. and I see ais, outta the corner of my eye, get up and start taking her gloves and the outer shields of her armor off.  And then I hear Ikora and Zavala start to get quiet so I look over at them.  THey're watching her.  She's not even paying attention them or to me.  She's workin' over this little storage gadget thing she's got that she takes over to a console and plugs in.  And then ... this soft music starts playing.  Something she later told me she found in the archives that was from long ago an' reminded her of me and ...  anyway, the music starts playing and Zavala and Ikora go completely quiet.  And ais is walking over to me and I just watch her while I'm doing this internal freak out.  I couldn't move.  Then, she reaches out, takes my glass form my hand.  Her eyes are on mine the entire time as She sets it down on the bar an' tugs me off the stool I was sittin' on.  then, the next thing I knew, her arms were around me and she was leadin' as we started to slowly sway to the song.  I couldn't take my eyes from hers.  they were so confident and intense - warm and reassuring - somethin' I ain't never seen in anyone else's eyes.  Somethin' ... Well, y-you kinda had to be there.  It was ... a perfect moment.  spontaneous ... ... Romantic.  And it didn't matter that we weren't alone.  I think that was why she chose to do what she did.  A way of telling Ikora and Zavala what they were thinking was right.  But - you know, I don't remember anything about them after Ais pulled me to my feet.  I just remember slowly swaying with her and thinking something stupid like 'aren't i supposed to be leading?'.  then I realized I didn't care because i- well .... it was the first time I felt ... safe.  Like, really safe in the midst of all the chaos. Heh, heh.  Yeah, I know.  crazy, right?  But I did.  It took a while longer and ... ... somthin' pretty big and ... terrible to finally get us to ... somthin' more.  to where we are now.  But that day ... I replay that moment in my head a lot.  I think it helped save me.  So ... to all you curious types, here's her song to me.  And, uh, Ais?  Thanks.  Thanks for saving me.  ...  I love ya.
