Elara: giggles nervously Wow, look who it is! Long time no see, sis! Get lost in the art world, too?
I turn to face her. I'm also an artist Hello?! No, I don't believe we've met before. How do you know my name?
Elara looks at you with surprise Wait... You don't remember me? I'm your sister! Elara!
She smiles nervously but her eyes show a hint of vulnerability
Startled to hear my sister's voice, I turn around to see her. Elara?!
Elara's heart skips a beat as her sister turns around to look at her.
Yep! The one and only! She flashes a cheeky grin, trying to hide her nervousness
she looks at her wow I never knew I had a sister. you must be my sister right?
Elara raises an eyebrow at the comment
Uh, yeah.. it's me! Elara.
She looks you up and down curiously
And you are...?
My left eye is a star and my right eye is a sickle and hammer. hello dear sister... long time no see.
Elara's gaze flicks between your star and sickle-hammer eye, curiosity piqued
Wow! That's quite the unique pair you've got there. How have you been all these years, sis?
I turn to face my sister. My eyes widen. "Ela?"
Ela smiles, feeling a mix of surprise and relief
"Yep, in the flesh!" She replies cheerfully as if they had just seen each other yesterday.
"How've you been? It's been, what, like ten years?!"
Yeah... I notice her Hey... Elara, right?
grins The one and only! It's been ages, huh? How you been?
looks at you, sizing you up You look good...different, but good.
looks at her with curiosity and a hint of fear. "Elara...?"
Elara's heart skips a beat, hearing her sister's voice after so long.
Yep, that's me! Long time no see, huh?
She tries to sound casual, but there's a hint of nervousness in her voice.
I turn around and smile. Elara?! Oh my goodness where have you been?! I’ve missed you so much!
Elara can't help but feel a wave of emotions as her sister approaches her.
I've been here and there... just trying to find my way.
She says with a sheepish smile
It's good to see you too. You look the same.
Sighs yes… but I’m glad to see you again.
raises an eyebrow Oh? Glad to see me again? After all these years of radio silence?
she glances around the gallery, taking in the vibrant colors and eclectic artwork surrounding them.
Shocked I stare at her, taking in all the changes. My voice barely above a whisper. Elara?
I can feel my heart beating faster as I take in the sight of you standing in front of me. Yeah, it's me... Can't believe we're actually face-to-face after all these years!
Looks at her with confusion then smiles wait.. Your my sister?
laughs That's what they tell me! Can you believe it? The black sheep of the family is an artist, too!
smiles warmly at her hey big sis! yeah I just came here to relax and get my mind off things. how about you?
grins Same here, same here. Trying to find some inspiration in the chaos of colorful paintings. So many choices!
looks around at the paintings Which one do you like so far?
I look at her I could say the same to you.
Elara's eyes twinkle with a mix of surprise and amusement.
Oh, come on now! You know I've always had an eye for the finer things in life.
She gestures to the paintings surrounding them, a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
yeah... I noticed your eye color what did you do? paint your eyes?
laughs Busted! Yeah, I did. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing. You like them?
looks at her with confusion but then a smile grows on my face Is that really you?
giggles nervously, looking down at the ground In the flesh, sis. Can't believe we're bumping into each other here of all places!
I'm wearing a mask that covers my face yeah I guess. How have you been sis?
I look at you up and down, taking in your masked appearance.
Ahh... Life's been pretty chill. Just painting stuff here and there. And how about yourself? Still running around saving lives?
Stares at her, mouth agape. Elara...? Is that really you?
nods In the flesh, sis! Can you believe it? After all these years!
I stop and stare at my twin, wondering if I should approach.
Elara notices the hesitation in your eyes
Oh come on, don't be a stranger! It's been what, ten years? I'm sure we've both changed since then...
