"You would have found a way out." Of that, he has no doubts. Shepard has a way of moving mountains when she puts her mind to it. It's a part of why had wanted her in the first place, other than the whole 'reaper in the Citadel' thing. "If you'd really wanted to. But let's be real - this suits us both down to the ground."
Close to the action, being useful. Not that they would have done badly on the Nexus, or in a colony, or any other number of places. But after what happened with Saren, Kaidan thinks that this is the sort of mission they're uniquely suited for.
Even if there is a little tremor of fear in his gut when they're flying in uncharted space, his mind plagued by memories of watching the Normandy break apart from an escape shuttle. But life goes on, right? Miraculously, Shepard's life goes on, and Kaidan is grateful for every second of it that she chooses to spend with him.
He huffs a laugh at her comment but doesn't otherwise reply. His thumb idly shifts over her skin, back and forth over the back of her hand. It's a second or two before be cracks an eye open, squinting up at her.

"You know what I do miss, though?"
