First, there was a set of blue eyes peeking in through the partly-open door.
A moment later, there was a set of knocks. They were tentative - Liara still wasn't certain whether this was the right course of action. But she was worried, and there had been topics, and she thought humans might consider it fair if--
"Oh! I am sorry," Liara said quickly. "I-- did not mean to pry into the details. It is just that I have been concerned-- irrationally-- and you seemed to know about, well-- issues, and..."
"No, no, it's fine," Victor reassured her, just as quickly. "If it were my friend telling me what Kar's telling you, I'd be worried too. But, this may be me being thick, but -- what kind of issues do we mean?"
"Yeah," Victor said, surprised it was even a question. "They wanted me to, and I wasn't in any shape to think about other choices. If there even were any."
"Right, but not the next day or anything," Victor clarified. "I was with them most of a year before some personal stuff went kerflooey and I needed some space."
If there was an awkward silence, Victor was going to be generous and fill it with babbling. "Not -- evil supervillain kind of kerflooey," he said. "The ... boring, normal, 'I like this girl but I'm dating someone else and then they both dump me' kind of kerflooey. Anyhow. I needed a change."
He looked sheepish as he spoke; he was fairly certain Liara didn't care about his girl drama.
There was not terribly much to ask about Victorious, was there? She did not know Victor terribly well, and the whole concept still seemed-- outrageous.
As for this concept - Liara just blinked. "Should there be drama?"
"I think you're really lucky if there isn't," Victor said hesitantly. There hadn't been a whole lot of drama with Olive once they got started, but that was -- special. "It's emotional. Sometimes people do dumb stuff. Not so much where you're from?"

Well.
Knocking.

Those were pretty big Issues.

Victor couldn't say the same about the other Issue, though.
"And the criminals --- she's good at it. Really."

"Did you join them?" she asked.

He still wasn't sure there had been.

An awkward silence ensued on Liara's end. She was terrified of somehow offending him.

They were getting a little far from the topic of Victorious, but Victor wasn't exactly eager to dive back into those waters.

And she wasn't exactly a social superstar even on Thessia.
