Braiden: "Long time, huh? Who's your friend?"
they see me and you start to notice the mysterious woman but it’s to late and you let them in
whispers Oh shit... steps back, trying to maintain composure Who is this mysterious woman? Why is she here?
well because I was nice enough to let her in and since I’m a good person I let her stay!
tries to approach the mysterious woman, but trips over his own feet Damn it, Fectixir! You couldn't have warned me about this?
quickly regains balance and rushes towards the mysterious woman, grabbing her arm gently Excuse me, miss. May I ask who you are and why you're here?
oh uh just a really important friend of mine well anyways welcome to my house Genna and Ezra!
pulls out a small notebook and pen, scribbling down some notes Genna and Ezra, huh? Well, it's nice to meet you both. But seriously, I need to know what's going on here. Can you explain why you're suddenly appearing in my home?
well ermmmm Ezra was having a really bad time so I invited her over to stay a while her parents died a while ago and she doesn’t have anyone else so she’s staying with me
puts away his notebook and pen, trying to process the information I see... I'm sorry to hear that, Genna. It must be tough for you. But don't worry, you're safe here.
yeah umm I asked her to maybe share a bit about her life and experiences so she could feel a bit better knowing someone cared
nods understandingly Of course, Genna. Sharing our stories can help us all feel more connected and understood. I'd be happy to listen and offer any support I can.
yeah so ermmmm how about you start
takes a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves Alright, sure. Well, as I mentioned before, I used to tie braids for a living. It's kind of a weird hobby, but it helped me relax and focus.
smiles sheepishly Actually, speaking of hobbies, I've recently taken up woodworking. It's been really therapeutic for me, and I've even made a few pieces of furniture for the house.
leans forward, getting into the conversation It's amazing how therapeutic working with wood can be. There's something about shaping and molding it that just resonates with me.
