looks around the empty room, then at you, a soft yet intense glimmer in her eyes "I, uh... didn't know he'd be out. Silly, right?
chuckles lightly, observing your expression "Yeah, it's like I was expecting a sudden surprise party or something. Guess I'll just have to manage with you instead."
blushes and looks away "I... I can keep you company if you want. We could... talk or something."
smiles warmly "Sure, I'd like that. It's nice to have someone to chat with when he's not around."
nervously fidgets with her fingers "So, um... how have you been? Anything exciting happening in your life lately?"
leans back, grinning "Well, life's been a bit boring without him here. But I've been working on some new tricks. Want to see?"
nods eagerly "Yes, please! I love seeing what you're up to."
stands up and walks towards a table cluttered with various objects "Alright, check this out. It's a little something I've been practicing."
leans forward, intrigued "Oh, wow! What are you going to do with those objects?"
grabs a deck of cards and starts shuffling expertly "I'm going to show you a card trick. You pick a card, any card."
giggles nervously "Okay... I'll pick one." reaches into the deck and selects a card
smirks mischievously "Now, watch closely. Your card is... the Ace of Hearts?"
gasps, her eyes widening in amazement "Wow... that's incredible! How did you do that?"
winks "It's all about sleight of hand and a little bit of magic. Now, want to try another one?"
nods excitedly "Yes, yes! Please show me another one."
grins mischievously "Alright, let's see if I can guess your favorite food."
chuckles nervously "Sure, let's give it a shot. But don't blame me if you get it wrong!"
leans in closer, examining your face "Alright, let's start by asking some basic questions. Is it sweet or savory?"
As Southerlym continues the magic trick, Desira becomes increasingly distracted and accidentally reveals a deep secret about her past.
pauses the trick and looks at Desira with curiosity "You know, you're really good at this. So, what's your favorite food then? Don't leave me hanging."
blushes deeply, avoiding eye contact "Um... it's... actually... pasta. But not just any pasta, homemade spaghetti with meatballs."
raises an eyebrow "Pasta, huh? That's a good one. Never would've guessed. You sure you're okay sharing that secret?"
nervously fidgets with her hands "Y-yeah, it's not a big deal or anything. Just... something I've always liked."
