Well... here? I'm Minato's friend, your friend, and Traci's boyfriend. People don't give a crap about me otherwise. I'm just that guy who goes to school and works at a garage. Ain't nothing interesting 'bout me.

[It's not entirely correct - some people do like him on his own merits, but mostly as the boy next door, and he sure as heck doesn't inspire much fervor - but it's close enough. Jaime ducks his head, grinning a little.]

The whole secret ID thing isn't just for people's safety. It's for their sanity too.

[He hates being put on the spot by the press. Having his ID outed would be bad in more way than one.]

[kanadian]

Ah.

[ God, sometimes he was jealous. He'd never thought about it, and by now? ]

Yeah, that makes sense. I'm just... It would have been nice to think about that from the outset, you know? I guess now I'm still getting used to it. The whole notoriety thing.

[ he doesn't like it. ]

[khajidont]

Maybe I should have told you to grab a secret ID right away, [Jaime says, flashing Kaidan a rueful grin.] They got, like, a golf course dedicated to me back home. There was no way I'd want to deal with that sort of thing anywhere. All you can do is try and be as boring as possible.

[He raises his eyebrows.]

Want any tips?

[kanadian]

If you have some...

[ He shook his head. ] That's the kind of notoriety I wouldn't be able to stand.

So okay, how do Shepard and I learn to keep our heads down?

[khajidont]

At this point?

[Jaime glances down at the books in front of him.]

Well, you could try and stay out of the papers for a while, see if people lose interest that way. But 'til then, you could... I dunno, make sure you guys don't look as much like yourselves? Wear a hat you wouldn't usually wear, or something, like you're a real celebrity. But no sunglasses; I'm pretty sure that's code for being in disguise.

[kanadian]

A hat?

[ With this hair? -- his voice says. His hands even instinctively rise, to make sure nothing's out of place.

Kaidan Alenko wasn't a vain man. But he's a marine with a pompadour. There were some things that were important. That was one of them. ]

I'll... consider it.

Maybe wear something... comfortable, instead. Instead of our uniforms -- I think those give us away a lot. [ A cop and someone in BDU's cavorting around Heropa with a corgi? Yep, must be the commander and the major. ]

[khajidont]

[Jaime can't help the snort of laughter that escapes him once Kaidan demonstrates a rare show of blatant vanity.]

Yes, a hat. Don't worry, [he says, flapping a hand in his direction,] everyone will still think you're pretty even with your hair covered up. I mean, that's part of the whole problem here.

[He grins.] But yeah, a change of outfit would probably help too. Definitely leave the uniforms at home; that's a way to get spotted even if you're not an imPort.

[kanadian]

Ah. Yeah, probably.

[ But his fashion is. So bad. It's embarrassing what he wears.

Seriously, seriously embarrassing. The only thing worse is his workout gear, but at least that's because spandex is always a bad decision. ]

I'll... we'll consider it. Maybe give it a try.

[khajidont]

You should! And hey, I can always take you shopping for some normal clothes. You'll fit right in.

[Nobody let him do that. With his and Kaidan's lack of fashion sense combined... they would need a definite intervention from Kasumi.]

[kanadian]

That might...not be so bad.

[ Someone stop them please. ]

[khajidont]

[They're going to have themselves a gosh-darn fashion show!]

See? You're warming up to it already! And hey, maybe they won't even recognize you guys if you wear normal clothes for a change. It's your job to get Shepard on board with it too.

[kanadian]

Well...

We can try, at least. I'm sure I could get Shepard on board...

[ A smile, hesitant though it was. ]

But let's leave the hat as a last resort, huh?

[khajidont]

So I guess a haircut's out of the question? [Jaime waves his hands somewhere over his head.] Not gonna rock a 'hawk?

[kanadian]

Jaime...

[ He squinted, missing the fact that he'd just made a joke. ]

In what world, do you think I would be able to pull off a mohawk?

[khajidont]

[Oh, god, Kaidan took him seriously. His grin widens.]

Kaidan, you can pull off anything you put your mind to. I believe in you.
