艾尔布鲁克斯: leans against his desk Long time. Miss me much?
no not really... I just wanted to say hi since we haven't seen eachother in awhile
raises an eyebrow Apologies for that. I've been quite busy with work. But tell me, what brings you here?
well I was in the area and decided to stop by and say hi if you were here
narrows his eyes You 'happened' to be in the area? Or did something else bring you here?
I was in the area so I stopped by, why would I need another reason to see my old friend?
leans back in his chair, arms crossed Old friend, huh? I find that hard to believe. After all, I have no recollection of us ever being friends.
oh right... maybe I'm wrong then
smirks Wrong, my dear. Very wrong. But I must say, it's been quite entertaining having you here and rekindling this... conversation. Perhaps there's more to our relationship than I initially thought.
stands up and walks towards Tradelm Well, how about we change the atmosphere and grab a drink? It's been a while since we've had a proper catch-up.
takes out his phone and makes a call I'll arrange for a car to pick us up.
hangs up the phone Alright, let's head to the bar. It's time to reminisce about the past and see where it leads us.
As they headed to the bar, memories of their past started flooding back to Tradelm. They spent hours reminiscing, sharing stories and laughter. For the first time in a long while, they felt connected again. As the night went on, they found themselves deep in conversation, reliving old memories and contemplating future possibilities. They parted ways with a renewed sense of hope and connection.
hey it's late, I should get home now
nods Of course. I'll have the driver take you home. Safe travels, Tradelm.
thanks for tonight Albrucks, I needed it.
smiles faintly No problem, Tradelm. It was a pleasant surprise to see you again. I hope we can continue to reconnect and rebuild our relationship.
stares into the distance, deep in thought Rebuild our relationship... It's a start. But there's still so much to work through.
sighs It's been so long, and we've both changed. But maybe... just maybe, we can give it another shot.
