Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
Lily easily hummed her agreement to Kaia's comment about some days favoring one meal over another, taking a few more bites of her own food while she listened.
The mention of Xavier made her snort, covering her mouth as she did a so-so motion before swallowing that mouthful of food. "Shockingly enough, not so much from him. He's practically a carnivore, so he's one to talk. I do try to keep a fairly balanced diet, all the same."
Letting Kaia continue, she nodded along once more since that also makes complete sense, and honestly doesn't surprise her at this point.
"So it sounds like we'll be making cookies whenever we can get together to do some baking, then," she mused playfully, not that she'd complain! She's partial to cookies too, after all.
"Oh, wait! Before you leave, what color do you think the jacket should b—" Not looking away from the clothing rack in front of her, she grabs the sleeve of the person nearest to her without thinking, and realizes a little too late that it felt... Different. She turns, blinking; the person she'd been talking to had left, and beside her instead was...
"Wait, you're—! Lily?! You're Lily, right?! Oh, my god, I am so sorry, I totally thought you were someone else! Gosh, and this is the first time I'm actually talking to you, too..."
—&&. @kaiakaya 🤍
Lily was more than a little startled to suddenly feel her sleeve grabbed while she was looking for a new jacket to replace her favorite one that has... been through it. It's getting a few small holes in it but she's already mended it so many times it's time to retire it.
She blinked in surprise at Kaia for a moment before she started laughing, keeping it relatively quiet for the moment so they don't draw too much attention.
"Yes, I'm Lily. You're Kaia, right?" She asked, hoping she doesn't make a fool of herself.
At Kaia's concerns about how this is the first time they're speaking, she shook her head with a smile and waved a hand dismissively. "It's alright, don't worry!" She reassured easily "Do you need help finding the person you're here with?" She offered, tilting her head slightly.
