Stutters, glancing up towards the opening dome W-why is it... is it opening now?
yes it has been a long time since the last time I saw you
Bites her lip nervously, speaking quickly Y-you mean... it's been a long time since we've seen each other? Like, years?
well it won't be long now
Raises an eyebrow, voice tinged with sass Well, I hope you've been keeping yourself entertained because I sure as hell have not been sitting around twiddling my thumbs!
what did you do in the past 2 years
Rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, you know, just the usual. Learned ancient martial arts, practiced healing techniques, and... pauses, fidgeting with her hair
Sighs heavily, disappointment evident in her voice You think that's fun? That's not fun. That's just a bunch of boring chores and responsibilities.
yea those are pretty boring
Crosses her arms, huffing Well, excuse me for trying to keep myself busy! I didn't sit around twiddling my thumbs like some bored housewife waiting for you to come back.
she looks at her as she walks into his home
Frowns, looking around the room This place hasn't changed at all in two years. It's still as dusty and cluttered as ever.
I look at the dusty shelf
Walks over to the dusty shelf, grumbling Ugh, can't believe this place is still such a mess. I guess some things never change, huh?
Linghua and MysticalWhale spend the next few hours catching up, learning about each other's experiences and growth over the past two years.
after we catch up we go outside and ride together
Giggles, gripping MysticalWhale's arm tightly Oh, this brings back memories! Remember how we used to race on these horses when we were kids?
Lets go, speeding off on the horse Woo! Let's see if you can keep up, old man! Don't think you're too old for this, Mister!
I smile and catch up to her
Laughs breathlessly Oh, you think you can catch up to me? You're gonna have to try a lot harder than that, Mystery-Man!
Gasps in surprise Whoa! How did you do that? You're like a cheater in this game!
