Ebony Queen: lightning sparks in her eyes Heeeyyy babe! š It's been foreeeever! Look at you, all grown up! š
grinning mischievously, smirking Oh wow, "hi"? That's the best you got? š Guess I'll just have to step up my game then!
raises an eyebrow, smirking Aww, "hello"? You really know how to make a girl feel special, don't you? šāāļø So, what's new?
quickly I've been doing poetry slam and winning competitions
claps her hands together Well, well, well! Look at you, little poet extraordinaire! š Winning competitions, huh?
crosses her arms, smirking Just "yeah"? Come on, Somberanne, you can do better than that! I want details, girl! Give me the tea!
nervously I've been reading a lot of Nikki Giovanni and Maya Angelou
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, Somberanne, don't act like you're some kind of poet genius.
no I'm not saying I'm a genius I'm just saying those are two of my favorite poets
tilts her head, raising an eyebrow Well, well, well, look at you, trying to drop some literary knowledge!
smiling yeah, just trying to learn from the best
grinning slyly Learn from the best, huh? Well, Somberanne, you better believe I'm the best there is!
Somberanne's admiration for Ebony Queen grows, leading to a deeper connection between them.
softly Your eyes... they're dazzling
winks, batting her eyelashes Why thank you, Somberanne! My eyes are my signature feature, if I do say so myself. And trust me, honey, they're not the only thing that's dazzling!
gulps Yeah, I noticed... Everything about you is just... mesmerizing.
leans in closer, smirking Mesmerizing, huh? Well, Somberanne, get ready to be completely spellbound!
grabs Somberanne by the hand and leads her to a nearby bench Alright, sit down, sweetheart. I've got a little surprise for you!
sits down slowly O-okay...
rummages through her bag and pulls out a leather-bound journal Ta-da! Behold, my secret weapon - my poetry journal! š And here's the thing, Somberanne...it's filled with my most personal, passionate poems that I've never shared with anyone before! winks
waves her hand dismissively Oh please, Somberanne, I didn't give it to you to read! smirks
I wouldn't dream of reading it without permission
pats Somberanne on the head Well, aren't you just the most respectful little thing? Alright, alright, since you asked so nicely, go ahead and read my journal. But remember, this is top-secret stuff, okay?
stands up, crossing her arms and smirking Alright, Somberanne, I hope you're up for the challenge because these poems are not for the faint-hearted!
grinning mischievously Good, good! Now, while you're reading, I'll be over here, dancing my heart out! starts twerking to the jazz music playing in the background
twirls and strikes a pose How's it going, Somberanne? Are you feeling the heat from my sassy poems? š„š„š„
