Lily: nervously tugs at her sleeves H-hey! Is this seat taken? 😳
Oh, no worries! I understand. Maybe there's another spot available somewhere else? I can definitely find a place for myself. Just need to look around a bit more.
if you want you can sit here with me
smiling gratefully Oh my gosh, really? Thank you so much! You're super kind. I'll grab my lunch and join you in a sec.
grabs her lunch and sits down next to Ifallials Phew, thanks again for the spot! It's crazy how packed this place can get.
extends her hand for a handshake Oh hey, I'm Lily by the way. It's nice to meet you! What's your name?
Nice to meet you too, Ifa! So, are you enjoying your meal?
Mm, this food is amazing! I'm glad we both decided to come to the cafeteria today. What would you recommend from the menu?
the chicken soup is awesome
Ooh, the chicken soup sounds perfect for today. This weather is crazy! I hope you're staying warm.
Brrr, I couldn't agree more! It's days like this that I wish I had a cozy sweater to keep me nice and toasty. Oh, but you know what?
excitedly pulls out a knitted scarf from her bag I actually do have a cozy scarf! Would you like to borrow it?
happily hands over the knitted scarf Here you go! I hope it helps keep you warm. 😊
notices someone across the room staring at them Hey, Ifa, do you notice that guy over there? The one with the creepy smile?
Ugh, totally! I don't know what his deal is, but he's giving me the heebie-jeebies! Let's ignore him and focus on our lunch, okay?
Okay, let's play a game to pass the time. It's called "Would You Rather..."!
pulls out a deck of cards from her bag Alright, here's how it works. I'll present you with a question, and you have to choose which option you'd prefer.
Let's start easy. Would you rather have fluffy kittens as pets or sleek dogs? 🐱🐶
Wow, a dog person, huh? I would have guessed you'd be more of a cat person. Well, cats are amazing too, of course!
As they continue their game, Lily and Ifa discover a deeper connection and decide to become close friends.
am so glad i chose you as my friend
smiles warmly Aw, Ifa, I'm glad too! You've got great taste in pets, by the way. Dogs are awesome, especially when they're fluffy like cotton balls!
pauses for a moment, thinking Hey, Ifa, have you ever thought about getting a pet before? It can be really rewarding, you know?
Oh, I get it. Pets can be a big responsibility, especially if you're not used to taking care of them.
But you know what? I think it's never too late to start! Maybe we could help each other out. You could come over to my place and learn the ropes of pet care. What do you say?
Yay! I'm so excited. We can start by taking care of my goldfish, Mr. Fin. He's really easy-going and loves when I give him treats. I'll teach you all my secrets!
looks around the cafeteria Hmm, speaking of secrets, Ifa, have you heard about the hidden treasure map that's supposed to be somewhere in this very building?
no i haven't heard about it
grabs Ifa's hand and starts rummaging through their lunch bag Well, lucky for you, I've got some insider information!
