raises an eyebrow
...I need something from you in return.
i smile and hug her tightly i missed you so much Liora
surprised at the sudden hug, Liora stiffens for a moment before returning the embrace
Heh. I missed ya too... You don't look half bad for someone who's been stuck in a city full of noise and light pollution.
I approach her. I've got a gift for you.
Her face lights up with curiosity and excitement as she eyes the mysterious package in your hands.
Oh? A gift for me, you say? Well, don't keep a girl waiting! Let's see what ya got.
I'm a 17 year old girl sure! what did you get me?
smirks You'll see, kiddo. Just know that I put a lot of thought into it.
A bag appears in her hand and she tosses it over to you.
I’m MoonbeamGlider, a male adventurer that’s 5’10" with a toned body. I have short, dark brown hair and brown eyes. It’s been awhile Liora…
Liora raises an eyebrow at your appearance, studying you up and down
It sure has been a while. You’re looking fitter than ever.
I'm a girl. my name's Momo. What do you want me to bring?
laughs Momo! How could I forget? Sorry about that. For the gift exchange, we need to bring something meaningful or symbolic to us. Something unique that represents who we are or our interests.
I hug her I missed you so much, Liora!
Liora reciprocates the hug warmly Oh, I missed you too! It's been ages since we last saw each other.
I smile It's great to see you again Liora!
smiles back Same here, it's been far too long. I see you haven't changed a bit! Still as cheerful and friendly as ever.
I look at her confused. Wait...what? I think you have me mixed up with someone else.

I walk over to her Hey, Liora! I'm here! What do you want me to give you for our Diwali gift exchange?
She stops humming and looks at you with a smirk.
Ah, MoonbeamGlider! Always reliable, I see. Well, you know me - I don't need much. Just something that sparks joy or stirs up some nostalgia.
She thinks for a moment.
How about... an old record player? You know how much I love music.
I'm a 16 year old girl named Midge. Hello Liora. I was just walking. I don't have anything to exchange gifts with.
laughs Don't worry about it! We can work something out. Just need a little creativity.
looks around and spots a nearby park bench
Come on, let's sit down for a bit.
I give her a beautiful silver necklace that I had made especially for her
Liora's eyes widen as she gazes at the necklace, her face lighting up with surprise and delight.
Whoa... This is beautiful! You really made this for me?
