The next day Liara was in her quarters, going through all the things she would be going through today. The door opened and Liara responded to it normally thinking it was Shepard.
"Hello Shepard, maybe we could talk another time I," she began.
"Hello Liara," Hannah Shepard responded.
"Oh, admiral," answered Liara, surprised.
"Please call me Hannah." she replied.
"Alright, sorry Hannah I was expecting your daughter." said Liara.
"It's alright, I just came here to get too know the crew." said Hannah.
"Ok, I guess my work can wait." said Liara.
Truthfully Liara didn't know why she accepted the invitation to chat, maybe it was because Hannah would only be here for two weeks, for whatever reason they started to talk.
"So, tell me about yourself." said Hannah.
"Well, what would you like to know?" asked Liara.
"Tell me a little about your past." said Hannah.
"Alright then, I was born and grew up on Thessia and I," Liara talked on about her history for a while, when she was finally finished Hannah asked another question.
"So tell me Liara, any relationships?" asked Hannah, smiling.
"Oh, um…" stuttered Liara, surprised at the sudden question.
"Are you alright?" asked Hannah.
"Yes, just a bit startled by the question that's all." said Liara.
"Oh that's alright you don't have to answer if you don't want to." said Hannah.
"No don't apologize, I've never really had a "relationship" with someone before." said Liara.
"I see, well then what are all these computers here for?" asked Hannah.
"I assumed Shepard told you." said Liara.
"No she didn't, guess it must have slipped her mind." said Hannah.
Liara thought, however, that is was because Shepard was afraid of letting slip to an alliance admiral that Liara was the Shadow Broker. This was Shepard's mother though, she could be trusted.
"Well, you see, I am… um… how do I put this? I'm the Shadow Broker. However I use my methods only for good nothing just for my own personal gain…" Liara said, quickly telling Hannah the facts so she wouldn't mistake her for a horrible person.
"It's alright Liara it's alright, I'm fine with you being the Shadow Broker, from what my daughters told me you wouldn't do anything like that." said Hannah.
"Thank goodness, I was worried that you would think…" continued Liara
"Calm down Liara, I wouldn't think any of that." said Hannah.
"Thank you, Hannah, I'm glad you understand." said Liara.
"Of course I would understand, well I guess I should get back to it then, bye." said Hannah.
With that, Hannah Shepard walked out the door. However Liara noticed there seemed to be a little skip in her step.
