I'm not trying always, OWA. That makes 'em extra juicy
The month between Shepard's "sacrifice" and the return of the Normandy SR2Liara: Hey Ashley ...
Ashley: Liara. Do you need something?
Liara: The question is: do
you need someone to talk to. The crew is worried about you, as the ship's new commander.
Ashley: I need to get used to be my own Skipper, Liara, that's all.
Liara: Is it so? Ashley, you're not the only one missing Shepard. Everyone does.
Ashley: Especially you? *raising voice*
Liara: My apologize, I don't understand?
Ashley: Sorry ... my fault. I just remembered things ... and got angry.
Liara: Why don't you talk about this? It might help you. *friendly*
Ashley: No, no, I'm fine.
Liara: Really? Ashley, I just try to be a friend, like I was for Shepard.
Ashley: That friend that tried to get more than friendship?
Liara: No. It might look like this for you, but it's not the truth. We Asari simply have a different understanding of friendships. They're much closer ... more intimate. I'm sorry if I made you thinking I was interested in Shepard romantically.
Ashley: Liara ... it's not that.
Liara: Oh, it is! The Shadow Broker knows everything, remember? *smiles*
Ashley: A friend that knows all of my secrets? That's creepy.
Liara: I don't know "all of your secrets". But enough to know you're wrong. I am not interested in Shepard anymore. He had decided for you a long time ago.
Ashley: Well, on Earth it's not a real obstacle for some women to get what they want.
Liara: I'm no human and I'm not from Earth.
Ashley: Obviously.
Liara: Fine. Ashley, I just came up here for something entirely different, not our little "never ending fights". The crew awaits new orders.
Ashley: The call of duty ... fine. I'll be in the CIC in five.
Liara: Good. And Ashley ... I really don't want to fight till eternity. Shepard died to end the war and-
Ashley: Shepard is
NOT dead! Don't say that again!
Liara: The crew expects you in the CIC, commander.
