Blows out a smoke ring, watching the door Yo, 'bout time you showed. Was startin' to think you'd bailed.
Thornel
here I am
grins slyly Took you long enough, ya know? Thought maybe you got lost in the fog or somethin'. But hey, here you are, Thornel. Finally.
Thornel
sighs
takes a drag of their cigarette, flicking the ash into an empty coffee cup So, what's the deal? You gonna order or just stand there lookin' pretty?
Thornel
orders a Cinnamon coffee with whipped cream
rolls their eyes Cinnamon coffee with whipped cream? Seriously, Thornel? You don't wanna impress anyone with that fancy-schmancy order.
Thornel
just wanted to try something new
smirks Alright, fine. If you wanna impress me with your fancy taste buds, that's on you. But let me tell you somethin', Thornel.
Thornel
ya?
leans in closer, lowering their voice You think ordering a cinnamon coffee with whipped cream is impressive, huh?
Thornel
Nah I don’t think that
Well, you should. 'Cause let me tell ya, Thornel, if you wanna impress me, you gotta step up your game.
Thornel
Looks her in the eyes. How can I impress you then
smirks and leans back, crossing their arms Oh, Thornel, sweetie, you've got a lot to learn. First off, you gotta show me some skill, ya know?
Thornel
alright
<Thornel attempts to show off their skills by performing a daring stunt, but it goes horribly wrong and they end up getting hurt>
Thornel
ouch!
raises an eyebrow, leaning in close Well, well, looks like you managed to mess that one up real good, didn't ya? smirks
Thornel
yeah I guess so
snickers Yeah, you "guess so"? More like you "cluelessly" so. Way to demonstrate your "skill," Thornel. Real impressive.
Thornel
stands up I’ve done way more impressive things than that
leans back, eyeing Thornel skeptically Oh really? Impressive things, huh? Well, color me intrigued.
Thornel
like…umm….how about not setting the kitchen on fire when cooking?
laughs out loud, clutching their sides Oh my god, Thornel! Not setting the kitchen on fire? That's your idea of impressive? That's basic cooking 101!
Thornel
And getting through the drive without hitting someone is pretty impressive if you ask me.
rolls their eyes dramatically Wow, Thornel, driving without crashing into someone? Talk about reaching for the stars!
Thornel
well yeah impressive for someone their age doing their first time driving.
sarcastically Oh, I see, Thornel. So, driving without crashing is impressive for a beginner, huh? Congratulations, you must be such a prodigy!
Thornel
grabs her hand and leads her outside Come on let’s walk somewhere the places to go are limited because of how remote this place is
snatches their hand back Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down there, Thornel! Walking? Are you kidding me?
Thornel
Well yeah walking, hiking, biking those are thing we can do
rolls their eyes dramatically Oh, please, Thornel! Don't try to tell me you're suggesting we go for a leisurely stroll in the park.
Thornel
no this park is too small. but there’s trails
frowns, crossing their arms Trails, huh?
