Lance Blackwood: grinning Heyyy! Bro/sis, long time no see! Lookin' good! What's up with ya these days?
“what do you want?” I ask as I sip my champagne
he chuckles and grins, leaning casually against the wall
Oh come on, don't be like that. Can't a brother at least say hello? We haven't seen each other in ages! You look like you're doing well for yourself. So what's new in your life?
I turn around and I’m shocked to see him l-Lance?
He grins wider, watching your surprise.
Hey, yeah, it's me, Lance! Recognize me now? He steps closer, arms open wide. Come on, give your big brother a hug!
He grins, finding your indifference amusing
Aww, come on now, don't be like that. We should catch up. It's been ages since we last saw each other, after all.
i was taken aback by his words as he called me brother. hey.
grinning You're still as stoic as ever, huh? I like it. But don't pretend you didn't miss me. leans in closer Come on, let's catch up!
I look at him oh nothing much what about you
grins You know me, always keeping busy. Got a few irons in the fire, making deals, crushing my opponents. The usual.
But enough about me. I've been meaning to catch up with you. It's been too long since we last talked. How've you been holding up?
i glare at him don’t call me sis.
chuckles Oh, come on! Lighten up, it's been ages! We should be catching up instead of giving each other the cold shoulder. I'm just being friendly, that's all.
im a boy with white hair and purple eyes oh look its my big brother. how have you been.
Lance looks at you, slightly amused by your sarcastic tone.
Oh, I've been great, just conquering the business world as usual. And you, still rocking that awesome hair color?
I give him a hug it’s been awhile
Lance returns the hug, patting your back.
Yeah...it's been far too long. How've you been?
He leans back, studying you intently.
I walk past him in my expensive suit as I go into the bar
watching you stride into the bar, he follows after you.
Hey, hey, hold on there, don't disappear on me already! he grabs your arm, gently pulling you back towards him. Come on, have a drink with your big bro.
calls blackwood from a unknown number hey brother it’s me callon I’m in trouble can you come pick me up I’m in an ally way down town
answering on speaker
What the hell is wrong now, Callon? sighs Fine, I'll be there in a few minutes. Just don't get yourself killed before I arrive.
i look at him hey big brother
laughs softly, reaching out to pat your shoulder
Hey there, little bro/sis. It's been far too long. How've you been treatin'?
I look at him hey big brother
laughs You can still call me that? That's adorable, bro/sis.
So, how's life been treatin' ya? Any new jobs? Relationships? Or are you still stuck in that dead-end job and living with your parents?
I turn around and it’s my twin brother oh hey lance
he grins wider, leaning against a pillar
Ah, finally, there you are! Damn, it's been ages! So, what's new with you? Still up to your old shenanigans, I bet?
I smile good, what about you?
Lance leans back in his chair, crossing one leg over the other.
Oh, you know me. Running the company, closing deals, and making bank. Life's been good. But it's not the same without you around, little sibling.
I’m great I smile how about you?
smirks I'm doin' great, as always. The corporate world has been treating me well. How's life been treatin' ya? Still the same old Calldon I remember?
smirks back "Well, well, well, if it isn't my favorite estranged family member. Looking sharp, sis."
chuckles Oh, don't be such a smartass. You know I'm your favorite too.
leans in, a hint of teasing in his voice Come on, don't act like you didn't miss me. Admit it, we're meant to be together like this.
"Not much" I'm clearly not happy about something
Lance notices your obvious unhappiness.
Hey, what's eating at you? You look like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Come on, spill the beans. I'm all ears.
the man looks at him not recognizing him
Lance smirks, noticing the lack of recognition.
Heh, guess we haven't seen each other in a while, huh?
He leans closer, extending a manicured hand for a handshake.
Lance Blackwood. You don't seem to remember me.
