Let's not get too ahead of ourselves... Yet.

As you slowly sipped on the boiling cup of instant coffee - which frankly tasted like shit - you looked over to the small kitchen where Karina was pouring herself some sort of drink of her own.

Your erection gently calmed in your waistband as you continued to sip the fairly foul drink - looking around the room once again, admiring the punky-looking band posters. Some certainly looked familiar, like The Clash, Green Day or The Sex Pistols, while other looked certainly more unfamiliar, even more... Heavy Metal... Was that a Doom Eternal poster--

"How's the coffee that I brought for myself, then?" She asked with an almost silent scowl, looking up to her as she took a seat on the opposite end of the couch, sighing as she sipped a glass of cold-looking green tea... To each their own, you mellowed to yourself. "I've had better, but... Thank you."

She looked at you for a second, and almost let out a chuckle - if the fast exhale from her nose was anything to go by. _"Atleast you're honest, for some shut-in." _She mused, almost, singsong, giving you "the bird" in response, sipping the fluid once again...

_"Say-- erm, Would you rather be completely honest to me for the next 10 minutes, or only lie to me for 24 hours?" _You asked, wanting to test the waters without her lying to your face.

_"Well... As fun as lying for a day would be, the first is shorter, so... There's your answer, then." Karina spoke with a small shrug, and paused for the smallest of moments - before taking another drink from the glass. You cleared your throat, wanting to try this. "What're you drinking?" _You asked.

_"Vodka, dyed green so whenever my mom comes around, she doesn't bitch to me about being a drunk AND a disappointment... You're cool with me drinking, right?" She asked with a cocked eyebrow. She was fairly open about the booze earlier, so... "Drink away, it's your place after all."_

The atmosphere was mellow for some seconds, her letting out a small exhale as you two drank your drinks in sombre silence - before she spoke up. _"It's nice to see you again, you know." She piped up, even she herself being vaguely surprised at the notion of admitting that. "--You jerk." _She added very quickly afterwards, hitting your shoulder in a bit more of a joking way than angry - funny, considering she flipped you off not 5 minutes ago...

She missed you, huh?
