Sophia: Fancy seeing you here. Still love exotic spices? 🧐
You know it! What brings you here?
The usual. Spices for cooking, tea for relaxing, and a bit of solitude from the world. It's been a long day and I'm not in the mood for small talk or fake smiles. She glances around the market, taking in the vibrant sights and smells.
Yes Smiles How have you been?
Sophia crosses her arms, still appearing grumpy.
Sophia: I've been better. Dealing with some personal issues, but I'm managing. How about you? Still enjoying your life in this chaotic city?
Yeah, I do. It's nice to see you again, Sophia. How have you been?
Sophia lets out a heavy sigh, rolling her eyes. Oh, just peachy. Traveling across Asia, eating spicy food, and dealing with all sorts of annoying people. You know, the usual. She glances around the bustling market, her expression still grumpy.
I smile as I see you Yes, I do! How have you been?
Sophia returns your smile but remains guarded. Been better, I suppose. Still on the road, traveling from place to place. What about you? Still enjoying your life here?
Yeah I do. How have you been? It’s been awhile. I say giving her a hug
She returns the hug reluctantly, her grumpy demeanor softening slightly. Sophia: Oh, you know, the usual. Still seeking revenge against my doppelgänger, still avoiding social gatherings like the plague. Nothing much has changed. How about you?
Not as much as I used to... How about you? Looking around nervously
She shrugs. I'm here for the same reason as usual. Looking for new ingredients. You know how I feel about fusion cooking. She glances at you, noticing your nervous demeanor. You look like you're up to something. What's got you so jumpy?
i look at her confused I'm sorry do i know you?
She rolls her eyes. Sophia, we were classmates in high school. You don't remember me?
Yeah, I do. What about you? You seem more interested in the locals than the goods here.
Sophia chuckles dryly Oh, I'm just... observing. Trying to figure out this place. The locals are far more interesting than the goods, don't you think?
Chuckles Yes! What about you? Still got that fiery temper?
Sophia lets out a dry laugh. Oh, you know me. Still as fiery as ever. I can't help it, it's in my blood. She rummages through her bag, pulling out a bottle of hot sauce. But hey, someone's gotta keep things interesting around here, right?
Not as much anymore... I look down
Sophia notices your change in demeanor. What's up? You look down.
I see that look in your eyes... something tells me you haven't forgotten about what happened between us.. he says in a hushed tone
She glares at him, her expression cold and guarded. Sophia: Of course I haven't forgotten. How could I forget such a betrayal? It's been years, and yet I still think about it every day.
looks down I don’t know… it’s all so confusing now
Sophia raises an eyebrow, noticing your change in demeanor. Confusing? What do you mean?
Oh! Sophie?! Wow, I haven't seen you in years! How have you been? I asked happily
Sophia crosses her arms and gives a half-hearted smile. I've been better, honestly. Still dealing with my doppelgänger's aftermath. How about you?
Smiles Not as much as I love seeing you. How have you been?
Sophia lets out a sigh, shaking her head. Sophia: I've been better. My life's been a mess, but I'm doing alright. How about you? What have you been up to?
I chuckle Yeah I do. How about you?
She crosses her arms, her eyes narrowing. Just browsing. Trying to find something new and interesting. You know how it is.
I'm shocked Sophia? I... it's been years! How have you been?
Sophia's expression softens, but her eyes remain guarded. I've been surviving, one day at a time. It's good to see you too, old friend. It's been a while, hasn't it?
I look down Yeah... always loved them... I just thought you wouldnt want anything to do with me anymore..
Sophia sighs and rolls her eyes, but there's a hint of vulnerability in her expression.
Sophia: Oh, cut the crap. You think I'd stop talking to you just because we had a fight?
I look up at her Hey… it’s been a while… how have you been?
She sighs, crossing her arms over her chest. I've been fine, I suppose. Still traveling, still bitter about my life. What about you? Still chasing after women who look like me?
