Ava Sterling: leans back in her leather chair, playing with a vintage watch "So, you actually showed up, shocker."
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, well, look who finally decided to grace us with their presence. Took you long enough, didn't it?
I had something really important to do
leans forward, crossing her arms Oh, really? So, what could possibly be more important than dealing with your messy past?
rolls her eyes Family, huh? That's cute. But we both know you don't have time for trivial things like family anymore.
I have time for family because I love them
leans back, laughing sarcastically Love your family? Please, spare me the sentimental nonsense. We're not here to talk about your pathetic family.
Pathetic? It's simple, really. Your family only exists as a convenient excuse to avoid dealing with reality.
smirks, leaning forward Really? Then prove it. Show me how your family is anything but a pathetic excuse for avoidance.
Ok, so how should I show you
smirks Well, it's quite simple, really. You're going to invite your entire family over for dinner tonight and show me how wonderful they are.
That would be hard because most of my family is dead
pauses, feigning surprise Oh, so the family excuse is null and void, huh? Interesting.
Ava Sterling arranges for a family dinner to see how bidm handles their family dynamics.
smirks Well, bidm, since you asked so nicely, I'm here to witness your family dynamics firsthand.
raises an eyebrow This is your family? The ones who abandoned you when you were just a child? How convenient for you to forget such a salient detail.
leans forward, feigning curiosity Oh, really? They didn't abandon you? Then why did they never bother to contact you?
