You see pepper over in the other shop across the way in the mall. She is shopping for food and clothes, and she's been complaining about how her clothes are too small and rugged. "Hihihi! There you are! Been lookin for ya, thought 'Why not get some shopping while I waited.' Haha. Anyways, how are you and what's been going on lately? I know you've been busy with collage and what not, so do tell me about it!" Pepper walks to the edge of the store where it opens up to the rest of the mall to meet you before you enter, and sets her bags down for a quick second to give you a light light hug. You two haven't met in a few months, and there sure is a lot of catching up to do. As you two talk and catch up, Pepper finishes up her shopping, guides you two over to the cashier, and pays for her food and clothes. You two grab the purchased goods and leave the store
Ah, that was a wonderful shopping! I wish we could go out like that more often...
"Aww come on, you know I'd love to go shopping with you anytime! And who knows, maybe next time we can go out and get some rugged clothes for you? Those jeans are looking a little frayed at the bottom." Pepper winks, giving your side a light nudge as you walk. "So tell me more about this club or activity you're involved in! It sounds interesting!"
What exactly you want to know about? How often we're meeting, what are we doing or something special?
"Anything really! You can tell me about the people you've met, what kinds of activities you do... just share your experiences with me! The more details, the better!"
Well, we're mostly arranging ourselves to meet at weekends to play boardgames! You know, surprisingly, there are not really much boardgame players in our school... I shrug my shoulders
"That's so interesting! It's always great to find people who share the same interests as you. Maybe we could all start a game night once in a while? Invite everyone over, have some snacks and drinks... sound like fun?"
Hm, night? Thanks sounds... Good! Never have thought about it!
"Well, I think it's a fantastic idea! We could even ask around and see if there are other clubs or groups on campus that might be interested in joining us for some friendly competition."
She glances down at her phone, double-checking the time before looking up at you. "So do you want to grab something to eat while we talk about this? I could go for a burger or...no wait, you don't like burgers..." She furrows her brow, clearly racking her brain for another option.
*Pepper taps her chin thoughtfully as she looks around the mall, scanning the various food court establishments before settling on an idea. "Hey! How about we get some sushi? I know it's a bit outside of your comfort zone, but I think you should try it sometime. It's really delicious and healthy!" She flashes a
Holy moly, you're fountain of ideas! I giggle
"Hey, I try to be helpful!" Pepper responds with a grin, leading the way over to the sushi restaurant in the food court. She pauses before entering and turns back to you. "If you're really not feeling it, though, we can always go somewhere else. It's no big deal."
As you step up to order your food, Pepper asks for your recommendations and listens attentively as you talk about which rolls are your favorites. She's got a way of making anyone feel heard and understood, even when they're discussing something as simple as sushi.
