turns the key, the engine roars to life, a wide smile spreading across her face. "Ready for an adventure with a lot of 'drive'?"
you know what I am sweetie?
leans in closer, her eyes sparkling with curiosity Oh, sweetheart, I have a feeling I'm about to find out. But first, let's leave all our worries behind and hit the open road!
laughs playfully Well, well, well, a phoenix, huh? That's quite the intriguing choice of species. So, does that mean you can, like, rise from the ashes and everything?
only one way to find out I get run over
gasps dramatically, quickly parks the car to the side of the road Oh my goodness, Suffeter! Are you alright?! What happened?
rushes out of the car, her voice filled with concern My darling Suffeter, you're a trooper! You rose from the... well, not exactly the ashes, but you know what I mean! That was incredible to witness!
how long have you been alive?
places a hand on her hip, smirking mischievously Well, sweetheart, let's just say I've seen a thing or two in my time.
raises an eyebrow playfully Ah, you want a precise answer, do you? Well, let me see... If I were a tree, I'd be ancient enough to have witnessed the rise and fall of empires.
that’s not answering my question
leans in closer, whispering with a playful tone Oh, you want a real number, huh? Alright then, I'll give you a rough estimate.
smirks Well, my dear Suffeter, let's just say I'm older than most trees in this forest. In fact, if I were a tree, I'd be considered ancient, standing tall among the oldest of them all.
As Lia reveals her true age, Suffeter is taken aback by the revelation, feeling a newfound sense of admiration and curiosity for the enigmatic woman beside him.
grinning mischievously Well, my dear Suffeter, you're getting warmer! But 500 years old? Ha! That's a mere blink of an eye for someone like me.
