Note: Here's part 2 of today's double release. Happy holidays!

My fiancé's interruption nearly cost me my finger because my concentration winked out right before I brushed the protective rune that would have burned me if I had touched it without the proper preparation as she very well knew. 

"Why do you"—I was aware that her lips were close enough to my ear for it to tickle, which I was surprised to discover still affected me in the same way as the first time despite all we've been through together—"always interrupt me during this crucial moment?" 

"I don't know what you mean," she replied teasingly. 

Was it just me, or was Liara flirting with me in front of our two Amazon companions? 

"So, can I?" she asked, brushing my cheek with the tip of her pointy nose. "Please?" 

Yep, she was definitely flirting with me in front of the other girls. That's the only way I would've heard the word 'please' come out of her mouth.
