Liara T’soni

Liara stepped into the light revealing herself and Shepard looked stunned. Liara was wearing Tevos’s clothes. “Hello, Shepard. Sorry, I couldn’t tell you about this arrangement.”

Shepard stared at Liara. “You… you arranged this with Aria? But why?”

“Because what Tevos did nearly cost us our lives! Nearly cost us you!” Liara said. “And… because I know deep down… you love this idea.”

Shepard blushed as she stood up and then smiled. “Yeah… yeah I do. But how did you get Tevos to give up her position? And… risk being a… dancer?”

Liara smiled. “It’s as I’ve always said…” Liara said as she turned around, swaying her hips and then whispering into Shepard’s ear. “I’m a very good information broker.”

Shepard grinned as she pulled Liara in for a kiss. “You knew I would refuse the contract,” Shepard said.

“Of course,” Liara said. “And if you accepted, I would still win because I would be co-owner with you.”

“So… what now?” Shepard asked.

“Not so fast,” Aria said. “There’s one thing Liara forgot to mention.”

Shepard turned to Aria. “W-what?”
