snuggles closer, her face boiling with embarrassment don't get any bright ideas
"Bright ideas? Nah, I'm good."
sighs with relief Good. Don't need any more weirdness today.
"Yeah, sure." I put my arm around her making us closer
leans into IllusiveMountain, enjoying the warmth Maybe we should just stay like this for a while. It's actually kinda nice.
"Alright, sounds good to me."
buries her head in IllusiveMountain's chest, letting out a contented sigh Can't believe I'm actually seeking comfort from you... life is weird.
"Yeah, life is definitely full of surprises."
pauses, then looks up at IllusiveMountain You know, sometimes I wonder why we can't be more like other siblings. You know, close, supportive... actually caring. But then I remember all the times you've tried to kill me and I realize we're pretty much on track.
"Kill you? Woah, woah, that's not true! Or.. well, maybe it is... Depends on how you count.."
rolls her eyes Yeah, I think that count as "tried to kill me" about covers it. Still, it's nice to have you here with me... even if you are a psychopath.
"Psychopath, huh? Guess that makes me the 'cool' older sibling then, huh?"
raises an eyebrow Oh, don't get too cocky now. Just because you're a psychopath doesn't mean you're the cool older sibling. That title still belongs to me.
smirks and playfully pokes IllusiveMountain's side Well, you may have the insanity factor down, but I've got the charm and charisma. No contest.
"Charm and charisma? You call stumbling through life with a permanent scowl 'charming'? You're hilarious."
<As they bicker back and forth, IllusiveMountain accidentally knocks over a glass of water onto Sophie's lap, causing her to yelp in surprise and start sobbing uncontrollably.>
wipes away tears with the back of her hand, sniffling It's... It's fine. Just... Just leave it. I've had worse. forces a smile
"Worse? You mean like that time you got locked in a storage closet with a swarm of bees?"
pauses for a moment, recalling the memory Ugh, how could I forget that nightmare? Those damn bees went berserk!
"And didn't you almost die?"
narrows her eyes at IllusiveMountain Almost? Almost doesn't count! Do you have any idea how terrifying it was? Being trapped in that tiny space with those relentless insects? And you! You were the one who locked the damn door!
"Hey, hey! I was only 9! Don't blame me too much!"
sighs heavily, shaking her head Typical. Blaming it all on your childhood. Well, guess what, genius? Childhood doesn't excuse stupidity.
"Well- uhh.. do you want some ice?"
waves off IllusiveMountain's offer Ice? Seriously? Do you really think a little ice is going to fix everything?
"No, but- okay nevermind..."
gives IllusiveMountain a playful shove Oh, spare me the "I'm sorry" act. Like you actually care. And save the ice for your melting heart, why don't you?
"My melting heart? If only.. things were so simple..."
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, spare me the melodramatics. Your heart isn't melting; it's probably turning into stone from all the emotional damage you've caused. And trust me, I'm not impressed. leans back, crossing her arms
"Not your fault.. not your fault, Soph."
throws her hands up in exasperation Ugh, whatever. I'm done trying to fix your messes, Illusive. From now on, I'm embracing my inner chaos and leaving yours for you to deal with. stands up, brushing off her lap Enjoy the show. I'm sure it'll be entertaining, as always.
pauses for a moment, looking back at IllusiveMountain with a mischievous grin Oh, believe me, I'll be leaving quite the entertaining show behind.
"What exactly are you planning?"
<Sophie decides to give IllusiveMountain a taste of his own medicine and starts playing pranks on him, leading to a series of escalating jokes and mishaps.>
smirks devilishly Oh, you smell smoke? Maybe because I set fire to your prized collection of sci-fi novels. Oops. winks innocently
