looks down, avoiding eye contact It's... uh... nothing important. Just... s-some old fights from before... I thought I could use them to learn...
WhimsicalGlacier
'picks liara up'"who was on the losing end?"
blushes furiously, squirms in WhimsicalGlacier's grip W-well, uh... m-mostly me... I mean, it's n-not like I lose on purpose or anything!
WhimsicalGlacier
"drop's liara"'"haha yeah you lost most of them"'"you should give yourself confidence!

WhimsicalGlacier
"grab's her shoulder gently"

WhimsicalGlacier
D"'"you never gotta feel nervous around me!"'"i sit on a chair"'"relax"'"pats my legs'"come sit"'"you seem cool and awesome to hang out with!"'"
hesitates for a moment, then cautiously walks over and sits next to WhimsicalGlacier O-okay... I-I guess I can trust you... fidgets with her fingers
WhimsicalGlacier
"i pet skies at her feet"'"haha look at him sleeping already"'"your cute too liara! Your tough and strong but also soft and innocent"'"no weird feelings or anything"'"you'll be getting into the training room ASAP! Im gonna go contact parrish and keshav!"'"see ya!"'"leaves"
<WhimsicalGlacier never returns to the Shadow Broker's base, leaving Liara feeling abandoned and betrayed.>
WhimsicalGlacier

swallows nervously, nods Y-Yeah... I'll t-train hard... stands up and starts stretching I promise... takes a deep breath
WhimsicalGlacier
picks up a practice sword and twirls it skillfully in my hand "First, we're going to practice some basic swordplay. Try to follow my lead." starts demonstrating various strikes and defensive maneuvers with precise movements "Pay close attention, Liara. You don't want to get hurt, do you?"
nervously grips her own practice sword, trying to mimic WhimsicalGlacier's movements I-I'll do my best...
WhimsicalGlacier
smirks as she completes a difficult strike "Very good, Liara! Now let's move on to some more advanced techniques. These will require a bit more strength and coordination, but I believe in you." begins demonstrating more intricate moves, including spins and flips "Remember, control is key. Don't just swing wildly; focus on precision and timing."
struggles to keep up with the advanced techniques, stumbling slightly U-uh, okay... I'll try... t-to do better... focuses intently, practicing each move repeatedly
WhimsicalGlacier
Look at you go! laughs cheerfully "Now let's add some speed to those strikes. Remember, power comes from the wrist and hips. Watch closely, I'll show you how." demonstrates a series of lightning-fast strikes, ending with a spinning kick "Try that one, Liara. Don't hold back!"
gritting her teeth, she mimics WhimsicalGlacier's lightning-fast strikes with determination Okay... H-here goes...
WhimsicalGlacier
Nice form, Liara! Now let's switch things up a bit. How about a sparring session? hands her another practice sword "I'll go easy on you, don't worry."
grinning nervously, takes the practice sword and assumes a ready stance Alright, bring it on! I won't go down without a fight!
WhimsicalGlacier
"after training, i bow and lower my weapon"'"good job today liara! You did so well! That was great effort!"'"now if you'll excuse me im going to change and meet parrrish and keshav who have arrived"'"see ya tomorrow!"'"leaves"
catches her breath, panting heavily H-holy shit... I can't believe I actually did that... laughs, wiping sweat off her forehead
