You are acting weird and creepy and it's making me uncomfortable
lets go of ForestRhapsody's arm, sighs heavily Alright, alright. I may be a bit overzealous, but can you blame me?
No, I guess not. I've been busy with work and you disappeared without a trace so I assumed you were dead or something
Dead? Oh, please. I'm too addicted to romance novels to check out the other side. Besides, life would be too boring without my daily dose of drama. laughs self-deprecatingly

Meh, I'll choose a more down to earth character. How about the cook?
raises an eyebrow playfully The cook, huh? Spill the tea, Forest. Why do you have such a thing for kitchen antics?
I like that he's modest and down to earth. Plus it's funny to see the dynamics between him and the rich guy
chuckles Fair enough, dear sibling.
