I like all of the above! Maybe they were in the same Mercenary company for a while, where Valerie kind of attached herself to Lyssiah as the only other girl, and Lyssiah was like "Uuuuuuuuuuuugh fine I gueeeeeeesssssssssss." And then things went bad at that company - maybe the Merc group were planning on stabbing Valerie in the back for some reason, maybe selling her out to a rival record company that was using underhanded methods to get ahead - and so she shot the people sent to "grab" her, burst into Lyssiah's room, was like "THERE'S NO TIME TO EXPLAIN" and suddenly Lyssiah is shooting up her old employers because they saw them together and assumed that Lyssiah was helping Valerie escape. SO BEGINS THE BUDDY COP ESCAPADES!<br/><br/>Whether they end up separated after that or if they continue to travel together is up to you. Assuming the above is cool with you :P
