(Shepard is in the captain's quarters as he pours two glasses of wine)
(But then Liara and Thorne walk in)
Thorne: And finally, this is the captain's quarters. And that marks the end of our tour. Shepard can tell you more if you're interested. Ciao
(Thorne snaps his fingers and makes finger guns at Shepard before the door closes)
Shepard: Did you enjoy the tour?
Liara: Yes, it's a beautiful ship. Everyone seemed very happy to see me. Except for the bald tattooed one
Shepard: I wouldn't worry about it. She's like that with everyone, don't take it personally
Liara: Althought, Joker asked me to record any parts of our conversation where "my eyes do that freaky black eternity thing"
Shepard: Of course he did...
Liara: I hope Dr. Chakwas is doing well
Shepard: She will be if we rescue her in time
Liara: I... brought you something. It took some digging, but I recovered your tags
(Liara hands Shepard his old alliance tags)
Shepard: Wow. I never thought I'd see these again
Liara: You can't get back everything you lose... but sometimes you get lucky
Shepard: Yeah, that was the plan
(Shepard and Liara clink their wine glasses together and enjoy a drink in each other's company)
Liara: How are you doing, Shepard? And I mean really, not what you tell your squad to keep morale up
Shepard: Honestly? I'm just tired. Tired of dealing with cerberus and The Illusive Man, tired of the council's bullshit, and tired of my closest friends getting hurt
Liara: Yes, I heard about your crew. I'm sorry. But cerberus' shortsightedness doesn't diminish what you've accomplished. There wouldn't be one man, woman, or child left on Horizon if not for you
Shepard: I know, but too many still died. And do you know the worst part of it? Cerberus planted intel to lure the collectors there. Horizon was bait
Liara: Those bastards!
Shepard: They'd have hit another world if we hadn't lured them there, but... aren't you going to tell me not to work with them?
Liara: I gave cerberus your body, remember? What should I say? And I trust you. You'll stick to your beliefs, no matter what cerberus wants. So... tell me what you want. If this all ends tomorrow, what happens to us?
Shepard: I don't know. Marriage? Old age? A beautiful house with little blue children?
Liara: Oh you!
(Liara playfully nudges Shepard)
Liara: You just say these things... Goddess... You were dead!
Shepard: I got better
Liara: This time. But you're not going to leave me again. When our team is ready, we'll leap through the Omega 4 relay
(Liara holds Shepard's hands in her own)
Liara: I spent 2 years mourning you. So if we're going to try this, I need to know you're always coming back
Shepard: Hmm... I don't know. That's a pretty big promise to make
Liara: Oh, it is, is it?
