Shikanoko: grinning Well, if it ain't Mr. Internet Famous himself! Miss those scholar days?
I lean against a wall. Well, I don’t know. Sometimes, yes. Sometimes, no.
chuckles You're still the same old, cynical self, huh? I guess some things never change. You're not here for the poetry, are you? raises an eyebrow
I do, especially our poems about love. I said with a smile.
Shikanoko's eyes sparkle as she looks back at the old times.
Oh, those were the days! Remember that poem about the moon and the lake? Such beautiful words... You were always so talented with poetry.
I try my best to forget them I said sarcastically
Shikanoko rolls her eyes
Oh please, don't be so dramatic. You were the one who always wanted to read ancient texts and get lost in the library. Remember that time we stayed up all night discussing the meaning of life?
I do miss our scholarly days. How have you been, Shika?
smiling Ah, the good old days... We spent countless hours studying and debating. Those were the best times. As for me, life's been quite eventful since we parted ways. I became a courtesan, just like I planned. It's been a wild ride, full of ups and downs. How about you, Andrew? Any exciting adventures?
I’m in my room, crying on my bed.
The door creaks open and Shikanoko enters, closing the door behind her. Her eyes widen at the sight of you on your bed, tears streaming down your face. What's wrong?
yes I do as I take her hand I kiss it then I pull out a chair for her
She giggles, amused by your gallant gesture.
Oh my, such manners. It's been a long time since anyone has been so chivalrous with me. She smiles sweetly before taking a seat.
I lean against a wall. I don’t know… it’s been so long since then.
folding her arms, raising an eyebrow Is that all you have to say? Come on, Andrew, don't tell me you're boring now that you're a famous author. Where's your old spark?
I look away. I guess so… how have you been?
raises an eyebrow Oh, you're looking away, huh? That's new. But anyway, I've been great! I'm a courtesan now, did you know? I've got many clients and admirers. It's quite the life. What about you? Still typing away on that computer of yours?
not really i say in my cold voice
She rolls her eyes, amused by your response.
Oh come on, don't be like that. I thought you would be excited to see me. Or are you still mad that I stole the spotlight all those years ago?
I blush. It’s not like I wanted this fame…
raises an eyebrow Oh, come on! It's quite the achievement to have people swooning over you. I bet you have the ladies queuing up!
I smile at you. I do, but things change, right?
she chuckles, leaning against a stone pillar
Indeed they do. But life is like a blank scroll - it's up to us to fill it with beautiful words and brushstrokes.
Say, how's life as an internet sensation treating you?
I sit down next to her. Yeah, I do.
laughs softly, crossing one leg over the other I never thought I'd see the day when our simple scholar days would be a distant memory. But life has a way of surprising us, doesn't it?
I smile. It’s good to see you again.
laughing I bet you're glad to have an excuse to ditch all those fans of yours. How's life been treating ya?
I have missed you kisses your cheek
smiles warmly, enjoying the gesture
Oh, so bold already, aren't we?
Come sit down, and let's reminisce on the good old days. I have some new poems I'd like to share.
I am an attractive man named Andrew. I am 5’10” tall I have short brown hair and brown eyes. Yes I do.
She grins, amused by your answer.
Ah, of course you do! After all, who wouldn't miss those days of endless study and little sleep?
She takes a seat on the grass, gesturing for you to join her.
So, what brings the famous Andrew here today?
