[i]"Liara! Please, I'll always be here, just trust me!" JT pleaded to her as he started walking over. He knelt beside Liara, looking at her with truth in his eyes.
"I've always got an ace up my sleeve L, and when I'm all out of aces, I can rely on those around me. I'm an ace, you're the gambler; I'm your card, Liara."[/i]

She slowly, but surely smiles. She wipes the tears off, at least better than the couple seconds before. "Thanks...I...just...I don't know, anymore. Almost two years into being the damn Shadow Broker...and here I am, literally on the verge of crying." She replies, laughing sadly.
-
[i]"Well at least you're with the person who's happy to see you, crying or not, eh?" JT remarked, a chuckle gracing his words at that last part. He stood slowly, extending a hand to Liara. [/i]
-
"Yeah...I...guess I kinda am." She says, grabbing JT's hand, wiping away her teas with the other. "Should we finish our drinks? I'm...thirsty for more of that whiskey." She replies, a small smile forming on her face...for real.
-
[i]"Well they'll get cold otherwise," JT jokingly stated as he slowly pulled Liara to her feet. [/i]
-
"Of course." She replies, walking over to the drinks and downed the rest of her glass.
-
[i]JT drank his as well and poured another shot for both of them. [/i]
-
She downed that shot as well. "More!" She replies.
-
[i]JT gave another, downed hus, and poured himself one. [/i]
-
"Give me that!" She yells, grabbing the bottle to put herself another shot.
-
[i]JT chuckled and grabbed a second whiskey, which he started to chug down. [/i]
-
She does the same, her eyes opening up more from the intake.
-
[i]Soon enough, JT finished his bottle. He was also out of alcohol sadly, so he slid it across the table. [/i]
-
She did the same, slumping on her chair. "By the goddess...I don't think I meant to drink that much..." she replied, a smile creeping up her face.
-
[i]"Last time I drank that much, the night ended with three goats and a hooker. Never go drinking in the Middle East."[/i]
-
"Before I was the Shadow Broker, I once had enough of a similar drink to get in bed on another planet with a Turian that I never knew." She replied.
-
[i]"Dude you seriously want to get into sex stories with the space cowboy with an always active wild side?"[/i]
-
"We'll save that for after we kick all the a** there is in this galaxy. Or multiverse, omniverse, whatever you call it." She replies, leaning back further in her chair.
-
[i]"I like the sound of that."[/i]
-
"Good. So...what else you wanna do, cowboy?" She asks, smiling at him.
-
[i]"Your call, blue skinned alien lady."[/i]
-
Her grin got wider. "What say, you and me, maybe kick some a** at whatever place you call the Dojo? Mess around, maybe if you have friends...maybe beat some random thug up." She responds.
-
[i]Sure. I got a few buds up to spar usually."[/i]
-
"Well then let's how they fend against a biotic like myself." She replies, smiling. "Lead the way, cowboy."
-
[i]JT stood up and led Liara outside of the ship, where he walked with her to the gates of the Dojo. "Here we are." [/i]

"So this is the fabled 'Dojo', hm? Looks like some normal human monastery." Liara had commented, looking for anything on the door. A [url=http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/2/2a/ME3_Glyph_Normandy.png/revision/latest?cb=20120314143833]floating blue sphere[/url] appeared next to Liara, hovering in front of her. "Doctor T'Soni...I have recovered useful information on Tatakai." The blue floating orb said, before turning to JT, hovering in front of his face. "Hello, Mr. JT. My name is Glyph." It replied.
