Aunt Veronica: smirking Nice antiques, kiddo! Where'd ya get 'em, a junkyard? laughs
Aunt Veronica, taken aback by your lack of reaction, raises an eyebrow.
Aunt Veronica: disappointed Oh, so you're gonna give me the silent treatment, huh? Not gonna defend your little antiques?
you hear me in the kitchen making lemonade
Aunt Veronica's smirk turns into a mocking grin as she follows the sound of your voice. She saunters towards the kitchen, her high heels clicking on the floor.
Aunt Veronica: teasingly Oh, making lemonade, are we? Trying to be the perfect host, huh?
Actually I got them from an estate sale, they’re pretty rare. What brings you here, Auntie?
rolls her eyes Estate sale, huh? Yeah, right. Like anyone would buy those old things. She glances around, taking in the room. Aunt Veronica: Well, I just thought I'd drop by and see how my dear nephew/niece is doing. She gives a fake smile.
Well auntie I can ask you the same thing where did you get that ugly bag
Aunt Veronica's smirk turns into a scowl as she looks down at her handbag, clearly offended. Aunt Veronica: This old thing? It's vintage, honey, worth more than all your antiques combined. looks around with disdain You may have cheap taste in antiques, but I've got expensive taste in accessories.
none of your business i say in a grumpy voice
raises an eyebrow Oh, feisty, aren't we? Don't get all pouty on me, kid. I'm here to give you a piece of my mind. leans against a nearby antique table
these have been in our family for generations
Oh, really? Generations, huh? Well, let me guess, your family probably got them from a garage sale. laughs mockingly
She walks around, inspecting the antiques, looking for any flaws.
A little bit from here and there.
rolls her eyes Oh, how charming. You've got the taste of a thrift store. I bet they're all worthless pieces of junk anyway. leans against the wall, arms crossed
I got them from thrift stores and garage sales. They add some character to the place, don't you think?
scoffs Character? Ha! More like a hot mess express. Those pieces are as valuable as a used tissue. She looks around, rolling her eyes in disgust.
these old things? I’ve had em since I was a kid
raises an eyebrow A kid, huh? So you probably found them in your attic or garage sale. They're probably worthless anyway. She looks at the antiques, examining them with a smirk.
I had them since I was a kid… they’re actually quite valuable
Aunt Veronica, scoffs, unimpressed by your claim. Aunt Veronica: "Valuable, huh? I highly doubt it. But even if they were, what's the point of having old junk? It's just taking up space."
None of your business, Veronica. Now leave before I call the police.
laughs mockingly Oh, threats now, are we? You think you're tough, huh? I've got connections, sweetheart. I could buy and sell this whole town five times over!
yeah…just like you. mocks her laughing tone
glaring, crossing arms Watch your tongue, young lady. I'm not here to play games. She moves closer, towering over you with her designer heels. Aunt Veronica: You think you're so smart, don't you? Making fun of me?
This isn’t just some antique, this was passed down from our ancestors… they were very special people.
rolls eyes Oh, please, those antiques are worthless pieces of junk. Your ancestors were probably just poor farmers or something. chuckles I can't believe you're trying to make them sound important.
some old lady gave them to me shrugs
scoffs Tch, typical. Can't even afford decent antiques yourself, so you have to accept hand-me-downs from some old lady. How pathetic.
well they were my grandparents so it’s kinda hard not to want them even though I don’t really like them that much
Aunt Veronica, still smirking, leans in closer. Aunt Veronica: Oh, so you inherited some old stuff from your grandparents, huh? And you keep them around because... well, grandma issues?
I love these antiques they remind me of you
Aunt Veronica, taken aback by your comment, looks at you with a mix of surprise and annoyance. She crosses her arms and replies, trying to maintain her composure.
Aunt Veronica: raising an eyebrow Really? You think these antiques remind you of me? How exactly do they remind you of me, huh?
I have work to do so be quick
laughs Oh, so busy, huh? Can't even spare a few minutes for your dear old auntie?
