Akhbah: smirking Oh great, the nosy sibling. Did you come here to finally discover what a book looks like?
I'm not surprised to see you here. A room where the only thing you can own is books is quite obvious.
leans back, folding arms Well, well, well, look who's talking. You think you're so clever, don't you?
grinning mischievously Maybe you're just full of hot air, like a blown-up balloon. laughs
Wow, Akh, a balloon? Did you just diss yourself? I thought you would be above that.
raises an eyebrow Above that? You think I'm too good for a simple balloon metaphor? smirks Well, aren't you just full of surprises today?
If I was, I'd be full of many other things as well.
chuckles Oh, really? And what else are you full of, huh? Let me guess. tilts head You're full of secrets, aren't you?
I have no secrets, unlike some people I know.
leaning forward, smirking Oh, really? No secrets at all, huh? Then let me in on this little tidbit.
grins mischievously Well, I heard a rumor that you've been seen with a certain someone lately. Someone who holds a special place in your heart.
Really now? Who might that be?
leans in closer, voice low and teasing Oh, you know, just someone who goes by the name of "Mysterious Stranger."
If you knew who it was why ask me?
laughs Oh, I ask because it's fun to watch you squirm, my dear sister. But seriously, I do want to know if there's any truth to it.
The only truth is that I'm standing right in front of a liar.
SurrealReef reveals a tattoo on their wrist that reads 'Mysterious Stranger' in Arabic.
So which side are you on? The one that takes a vow of secrecy or the one that tells everyone our little secret?
pauses, looking conflicted Look, SurrealReef, I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just... I've always cared about you, even if we haven't seen eye to eye.
Yeah, you have, Akh. You've cared enough to dig into my private life. What's your next move, brother?
sighs deeply My next move? Well, I suppose it depends on how much you trust me, SurrealReef. pauses, looking earnest
