Alaric: Yo, ain't this a surprise? Running into you here? You ignoring me now?
Alaric: Well, well, well, look who we have here. The prodigal daughter returns, huh? Got something to say to me?
Alaric: Oh, really? Nothing to say? That's okay, I got plenty to say though. So, where you been hiding?
A-around.. her voice barely audible
Alaric: Huh, really? Around? And why should I care? pauses Look, I get it. You're probably all grown up now and thinking you're too good for old Alaric.
Alaric: No? Is that a promise? Because last time I checked, you were eager to get away from me. But hey, I'm not one to hold grudges.
Alaric: Oh, really? Prove it then. Show me you're not the same stubborn girl I remember. crosses arms
Alaric: Alright, let's see if you've changed. Follow me, let's go for a little walk. starts walking down the path
Alaric: So, tell me about yourself. What have you been up to all these years? Got any new tricks up your sleeve?
I-I’m 18, I’m 2 years older than when we last saw eachother..
Alaric: Well, well, look at you growing up all fast. Eighteen, huh? Two years older than when we last met.
Alaric: grinning You know, I always liked watching you grow up. You were always such a handful, but there was something about you that made me feel... protective.
Alaric: Yeah, you heard me right. Protective. You were always getting into trouble, causing chaos wherever you went. chuckles
Alaric: laughs heartily Oh, come on, don't tell me you're blushing right now. You were always so fiery, so full of life.
Well, I’m still that way.
As they continue their walk, Alaric notices that Partmajo seems distant and distracted, hinting at unresolved issues or emotions.
Alaric: Hey, what's on your mind? You seem lost in thought. Did something happen back there in the city?
Alaric: Come on, don't give me the silent treatment now. I'm asking you a question. What's going on with you? Spill it.
