It turned out I missed quite a lot by the look of it.
Just beyond Liara's elfin ear, I caught a glimpse of a familiar three-mast ship floating on emerald clouds.
I knew for a fact that this flying ship was a two-hundred-meter frigate with a hull made of Yggdrasil's hardened leaf and a keel made from a wyvern's spine. It had a single-gun deck with thirty rune cannons, fifteen to each side.
"When did the Red Pearl arrive?" As I asked her this, I tucked a strand of Liara's chestnut hair behind her pointy ear which I was now beginning not to see as an object of hate.
Was this being a little too intimate?
Maybe.
Truthfully, I just wanted to push the envelope a little bit and see how Liara would react. Thankfully, she didn't punch me for being too friendly. She even smiled. It was weird. I wasn't used to a Liara who wasn't quick to punch most of the time. Although I kind of liked this kinder side of her.
