I am working on a chapter where Liara is going to a dinner party at Shepard's place and while I have an idea on what she would bring (no, they are not in a romance yet) ... what do you see her bringing if she went shopping with Chakwas on the Arcturus Station? Just curious as to what other Liara fans could see Liara picking as a gift for her hostess.
Cannot be solved, data incomplete. That is to say, I’ve not read enough to be able to determine what would be appropriate for the type of relationship they have.
I think Liara would
obsess over something like that gift, being both prone to obsessing and acutely aware of her social shortcomings. The type of the relationship would have a huge impact on the choice, as of course any asari traditions relating to gifting. She would research human gifting traditions and find no help there.
It probably wouldn’t be something symbolic (for herself or Shepard) because she’d fear it would seem adolescent. It would also probably have
some practical aspect to it, not a pure
object d’art. At the same time, it wouldn’t be something purely utilitarian like the equivalent of wine, either, because that could seem thoughtless. She’d probably shy away from arty stuff altogether unless she knows what EW likes. She’d probably try very hard to avoid anything that could be interpreted to imply a romantic interest or any other type of ‘relationship status change’. I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea

Oh, and she would obviously avoid anything that might imply she spent the entire week selecting the gift.
(Also, now you basically know what my December is like.)
