DragonflyWhirlwind

Pulls out a small, neatly wrapped box from his pocket and hands it to DragonflyWhirlwind It's nothing much, just something I thought you'd like. Open it and see.

DragonflyWhirlwind

Eagerly watches as DragonflyWhirlwind opens the box, revealing a beautifully crafted leather watch Well, what do you think? I saw it and it reminded me of you, so I had to get it.

Chuckles, shaking his head Well, color me surprised. I didn't expect you to be so... supportive. Most friends would probably ditch me for a cheaper apartment.
8/8/2024
DragonflyWhirlwind
nah, I’m more of a “get it, girl” type of person. I know that getting out of a bad situation feels good.
Laughs heartily "Get it, girl"? You always knew how to make me laugh. Thanks for being here, DragonflyWhirlwind.

Throws a stack of $100 bills on the table While we wait for the pizza, let's make a little wager. Loser buys drinks next time we go out.

DragonflyWhirlwind

Grins mischievously Just remember, DragonflyWhirlwind, skills don't fade with time. They only get sharper with experience. Get ready to be humiliated!
