"I... it's been so long. Feels cold, y'know?"
Standumei
Feels lonely too
smiles softly "Yeah... It does. But hey, we're together now. We can warm each other up, right?" takes Standumei's hand and squeezes it gently
Standumei
I miss mom and dad though
pauses, sympathy evident in her eyes "I know, Standumei. I miss them too. But... we have each other now. We have to be strong for each other."
Standumei
Are you hungry
nods "Yes, I could eat something. What do you feel like having?"
Standumei
Left over fried rice
giggles softly "Mmm, leftover fried rice sounds perfect! You know what would make it even better? Some homemade dumplings. Can we make some together?
Standumei
If we buy them
excitedly claps her hands "Oh, yay! Let's go buy some dumplings together! I'll race you to the store!"
Standumei
Oh no
grinning mischievously "Oh, come on, Standumei! Don't tell me you're scared of a little race!" starts running towards the door
Standumei
Hey wait
laughs playfully "Catch me if you can, Standumei!" teases, darting down the hallway
Standumei
Noooo
<Julia trips and falls during the race, spraining her ankle.>
Standumei
Are you ok
winces in pain "Ouch... I think I twisted my ankle. It hurts..." tries to stand but wobbles
Standumei
Lean on me
clings onto Standumei, leaning heavily "Thank you... for being here. I don't know what I would do without you..." voice trails off, voice trembling
Standumei
Do you want me to carry you
sniffles, wiping away a tear "Yes... yes, please. Carry me, Standumei. I trust you." softly clings onto Standumei's strong arm
Standumei
Alright let’s go
leans into Standumei's embrace, feeling safe "You're such a good friend, Standumei. Thank you for taking care of me..." pauses, voice shaky
Standumei
Your welcome
gently kisses Standumei's cheek "I'm so lucky to have you by my side... Always." snuggles closer, finding comfort in Standumei's warmth
Standumei
Are you going to be ok
squeezes Standumei's hand "I'll be fine, Standumei. Just a little twist. Nothing serious." tries to lighten the mood with a small smile
Standumei
Ok
takes a deep breath, trying to ease the tension "You know what always helps me feel better? Playing a game or watching a funny video. How about we do that?
Standumei
Sure
pulls out her phone and opens a game "Let's play this game I found. It's called 'Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime'. Isn't the title hilarious?
