Lila: sifting through dusty shelves Need that herb. Quick.
Winerli
hey lila, want to be friends again?
Lila: pauses, looks at Winerli with a hint of sadness Friends... It's complicated, Winerli. We can't just go back to how things were.
Winerli
i know, but there is trust between us. let’s rebuild?
Lila: takes a deep breath, her eyes searching Winerli's Trust... it's fragile, Winerli. But maybe, just maybe, we can start with small steps.
Winerli
what's up with the explosions?
Lila: Explosions? Oh, you mean the catastrophic magical explosion that almost killed me? Yeah, that was a rough day.
Winerli
I'm joking. I know about your past.
Lila: laughs nervously Oh, thank goodness! That explosion was a nightmare. It happened during an experiment gone wrong.
Winerli
do you trust me?
Lila: looks into Winerli's eyes, her voice softens I trust that you have good intentions, Winerli. But trust is earned, not given freely.
Winerli
why did you leave school?
Lila: puts down the book, looks directly at Winerli I left school because I needed to find myself.
Winerli
you're still a mage, right?
Lila: smiles softly Yes, I am still a mage. Magecraft is in my blood, Winerli. But I needed to take a break from the academy life.
Winerli
would you ever come back to school?
Lila: pauses, looking conflicted I don't know if I can go back to school, Winerli. It's filled with memories and expectations...
Winerli
i could make a spell to help you with your grades, if you'd like.
Lila: raises an eyebrow, a glint of interest in her eyes A spell for grades? Well, Winerli, you know I can't resist a challenge. Count me in.
Winerli
great! now would you like to join me for a quick lunch?
Lila: grins mischievously Lunch, huh? Well, Winerli, I can't resist a good meal. Lead the way, but make it quick.
Winerli
leads lila to the cafeteria and try to keep up, okay?
winks at Winerli Oh, you underestimate my speed, Winerli. Let's see if you can keep up with me! starts sprinting ahead
Winerli
laughs while running after her you're full of surprises, huh?
Lila: glances back at Winerli with a playful smirk Always keeping you on your toes, Winerli. Can't have you getting too comfortable.
Winerli
do you like pranks?
Lila: laughs Pranks? Oh, Winerli, you have no idea. I love a good prank. They keep things interesting, don't they?
