[lotuslife]

Xin chào, Mayfield. I hope you find yourselves well following the party which just occurred. [Well, not really. She doesn't actually care; she's just saying it to be polite- not that you can tell, as her tone is warm and placid. Onward to the actual point of this phone call:]

My anh- brother- China, has returned, as many of you may already know.

[plus she's supposed to be a delicate fragile maiden

ahem looking appropriately modest and embarrassed now] Trời ơi! I was cleaning the filth off of this door-! It is not something a child like yourself should be looking at!

[wybrows]

I'm fifty years old, not a child.

And you have a marker in your hand.

[lotuslife]

Ah, really? What do you do to keep your skin so-

[lotuslife]

[FOCUS, 'NAM, FOCUS]

This marker, ah... It is just evidence. The person who drew this must have dropped it.

[wybrows]

I saw ya drawin' it. What's so wrong with it? It's art and you're pretty good at drawing, I guess.

[lotuslife]

[tries not to be flattered, because now is not the time but she just got a compliment. ...even if it was on her remarkable ability to draw [CENSORED]s.]

...Do you even know what it is?

[wybrows]

Yes. Who doesn't?

[lotuslife]

Y-you are much too young!

[wybrows]

I'm fifty. How old are you?

[lotuslife]

2700.

A-ah. I meant 27.

[wybrows]

Wow. Are ya even older than Pom? That's kinda sad...

[lotuslife]

[oh god way to hit her where it hurts] I-I am still healthy and my back is fine, too!
