 It wasn't something I planned.  Hell, Liara understands, maybe more than anyone else.  Thane.  [She pinches the bridge of her nose and frowns.]  Look, we've got a finite amount of time -- all of us.  Give what you can while you can.  He's dying, he will die.  I'm pretty damn sure he's not gonna see the end of this war, so if I can give him a few more moments of peace?  

Yeah.  

I'm gonna do that.

There's so much more at stake than feelings.  You go where you go because it's the right thing to do.

[She pauses to grimace before her expression softens just a little.]

Those icons...are appreciated.

And because nobody else should have to go there.

[Which explains most of the decisions renegade Sheploo has had to make.]

[whywefight]

[She's with you on that one. Completely with you. Been more Renengade calls than not.]

No. They shouldn't. This damned universe has enough crap in it.

[fightforthelost]

Somebody's got to shovel it all out. Might as well be one of us.

[whywefight]

Considering the way things have been going? [She shakes her head.] Most of the time the choices that ultimately save lives wind up being the ones we're condemned for having the guts to do. There are times when you have to sacrifice. It sticks with you, but you do it.

And you remember.

[Hahah, he likes you. You remind him of him, except a little curvier obviously. In any case, he knows what she means when it comes to those decisions. He knows he's going to hell, but it's worth it to save innocents.

And he knows about how it sticks with a person -- the nightmares are ever-present.]

I'd buy you a drink for that comment, but then we'd have a problem remembering.

lol ok random icon button...

[whywefight]

Mm. Last I checked, that was the point of drinking. [Her grin's there, curling just enough.] I might actually accept it, though. Never know when it's gonna be your last.

[The nightmares. Always with the nightmares. You wake up choking on them, drenched in cold sweat and shaking, hoping one day they're not real. Or worse, it's the running after that damned kid with your subconscious screaming about how you're gonna die with him.]

ASS

[fightforthelost]

Speak for yourself. I'm not going out until I've tried pretty much every drink out there.

Shake, shake, shake, Señora, shake your body line~

[whywefight]

Citadel bar. Tossing them back. [She snorts.] I been there with the Krogan liquor, flat on my ass. Thane had to scrape me up off the floor. I think. [She spaces her fingers apart.] I was a little out of it.

DEM HIPS DONT LIE

[fightforthelost]

A little? If it was anything like the time I had ryncol over there, you couldn't remember your own name for a few hours.

Nooooo they don't.

[whywefight]

I was trying to forget about that. [Her voice is so dry.] Guess I should thank Cerberus for those upgrades.

[fightforthelost]

The liver implants do help.

[whywefight]

Good thing, too. That Batarian's drink would have messed up the fate of the galaxy and The Illusive Man would have been pissed.

[fightforthelost]

Has to protect his investment. It's alright, the batarian won't be doing that anymore.

[whywefight]

Not after I made him drink it. [She crosses her arms.] That's the last Human he's gonna try and down. We'll call it some good old fashioned Omega justice and leave it at that.

Sometimes you have to be judge, jury, and executioner.

[whywefight]

Sometimes, when every other option has been stripped from you, there's nothing you can do but take extreme measures.
