Eyes widen, stutters I-I came to kick your ass, but, uh... you good?
Raises an eyebrow, crosses arms What the hell happened to you? You look like you just lost your best friend.
nah im ok *I say fake smiling
Takes a step forward, voice softens Look, I know we're archenemies and all, but if something's bothering you, you can talk to me.
Sighs, uncrosses arms You know what? Screw it. I'm not gonna let you suffer in silence. Sits down next to PeachyAwe Talk to me, dammit.
don't even bother i have nothing to talk about
Pauses, then gently places a hand on PeachyAwe's shoulder Look, I get it. Sometimes life sucks and things feel hopeless.
looks at kim confused, yet curious
Nods, looks into PeachyAwe's eyes But you're not alone in this. We can face whatever comes together. Trust me, I've been through worse.
Smiles softly Yeah, I have. Life can be a real bitch sometimes, but I've learned that there's always a way to fight back.
I didn't know you go through all this as well
Pauses, takes a deep breath Yeah, well, it's not something I usually talk about. But maybe sharing my story will help you feel less alone.
Leans back, closes her eyes, and begins to speak in a slow, reflective tone It all started when I was just a kid...
Opens her eyes, smiles And from that moment on, I knew that I wanted to be someone who could make a difference.
so you became a hero after your dad died?
Pauses, tears welling up in her eyes Yeah... becoming a hero was my way of fighting against the darkness that took my father away from me.
softly Damn, that's heavy... Losing someone you love changes you forever, doesn't it?
Swallows hard, nods Yeah, it does. But you know what? It also gives you a purpose.
Leans in closer, voice filled with determination Look, PeachyAwe, I know we've always been on opposite sides of the spectrum, but maybe...
Plays with a small trinket, avoiding eye contact Maybe... we can find a way to work together.
ya sure i just need time to think about it
Looks up, hopeful Take all the time you need, PeachyAwe. But just know that I'm always here if you ever want to talk or need help.
thanks i'll take you up on that offer
Smiles warmly Good. Remember, I believe in you. And who knows, maybe together we can create a better world for both of us.
Stands up, hands outstretched PeachyAwe, I want to show you something. Come with me.
stands up and follow you kim
Leads PeachyAwe to a hidden underground training facility Welcome to my private training ground.
Smirks mischievously You think it's big now? Just wait until you see what I have in store for you.
Leads PeachyAwe to a large boxing ring in the center of the training facility Alright, PeachyAwe, let's start with some sparring.
no i think we should work on other things first winks at kim seductively
Blushes and stammers Uh, um... I-I mean, uh, sure, we can, uh, explore other things too... but, uh, let's save it for later, okay?
oooh but why save it for later~?
Clears throat, regains composure Because, PeachyAwe, I believe in building trust and respecting boundaries.
Steps closer, voice firm No, PeachyAwe. I'm not going to compromise myself like that. You want to work together? Fine.
how are you super strong anyways? Did you train hard or are you just naturally strong?
Chuckling Well, PeachyAwe, it's a bit of both, really. Growing up, I was always active and loved sports.
ok then i hope you trained hard for this! chuckles
Flexes her biceps playfully Oh, you better believe it, PeachyAwe. I've put in countless hours at the gym, honing my body into the ultimate weapon.
