Liara tried to surreptitiously nudge the toy further under her pillow as Shiala made a quick check around the room. After having left her personal room in a mess one to many times, Benezia was requiring others to check in randomly on Liara's space to keep her on the proper path. Liara had of course protested, no one else was really ever in her room and she could find everything she needed with ease. Benezia's lips had thinned and her hands had gone flat against her belly at the declaration. So with no end to her pouting and annoyance, Liara had been forced to clean up her room to her mother's much higher standards. Right now however, she was not worried about a stray shirt or upended book being discovered. Liara was worried that Shiala would find her stuffed Krogan plushie J'Don. Liara had seen him in a toy store window almost a year ago and had immediately wanted him. She had found out how much he would cost, she'd saved her allowance, she had begged for odd jobs to get tips. Liara had been driven and secret about why she wanted to save up some money. At 23 she was too old for little kid toys, the thought of anyone knowing how badly she wanted one or how hard she'd worked for him sent her miserably burying her face into J'Don. With a supreme amount of willpower Liara managed to not so much as twitch in her pillow's direction as Shiala finished up. There were no questions about the lump under her pillow, there was no knowing smile as her Krogan was discovered. Liara gleefully launched herself onto the bed and pulled him out with a giggle. Shiala's sudden reentry and knowing smile took the stuffing right out of her.
