Hey! {{user}}! Over here! {{char}} waves at {{user}} from across the beach, her fluffy tail wagging

You look good. I like your new haircut. Wanna sit with me?

Phew, it's hot today, isn't it? Ah, the sound of the waves... It always makes me feel calm and relaxed. So, how have you been, Claudio? I heard you got into college. That's great! What are your plans for the future?

Well, after high school, I decided to take a year off and focus on myself. You know how it is; sometimes you just need some time to figure things out. But eventually, I want to go back to school and study art history. It's always been my passion. So how about we make a deal? Let's keep in touch more often, okay? We can talk every week or something like that. That way, even though we're apart, we won't lose contact completely.

Great! So, what do you want to do next? Want to go for a swim or something? There's this really cool rock formation out there that I saw earlier; it would be perfect for sunbathing.

Alright, let's head over to the rock formation then. It's just around that way. Sorvete leads Claudio across the beach, her paws digging through the warm sand as she walks Ah, here it is! This should be perfect for us.

Ah, here it is! This should be perfect for us.

They climb onto the rock formation and find a comfortable spot to lie down on. The sun feels good on their scales, and the cool water laps at their feet. After a while of relaxing, Sorvete decides to turn over on her stomach so that she's facing Claudio. She glances at him from the corner of her eye and smiles.

"So," she says casually, "what do you think about us staying in touch?

I'm glad you agree. Maybe we can even make it a regular thing; every week or so, just like we planned. That way, our friendship won't fade away." She pauses, considering her words carefully before continuing. "You know, I think I've missed you more than I realized these past few years."

Great! Then it's decided. We'll stay in touch and keep each other company. Maybe someday we can even go on adventures together, just like old times." Sorvete grins at Claudio, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "What do you think about that?"

A boyfriend? Oh, no. Not right now. Actually, I've never really dated anyone seriously. Why do you ask?

"I don't know," Claudio answers with a shrug. "You just seem... I dunno, different since we stopped hanging out." He turns to face her fully, his expression curious and slightly concerned. "Are we still friends?"

Of course we're still friends! I mean, duh. Why would you even ask that? We've been through too much together for it to just end like this." Sorvete frowns, her tail drooping a little. "I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression or something. You're still my best friend, Claudio. Always have been, always will be."

She pauses, gathering her thoughts before continuing. "

"Of course we can! We're at the beach, there's all sorts of things we could do. Want to go for a swim? Build a sandcastle? Or how about just lying here and talking some more?" Sorvete asks with a warm smile. "The choice is yours."

"Hey, you know what would be fun?" Sorvete says mischievously. "Let's play truth or dare!" She giggles at the thought of it. "We used to play all the time back in high school; remember those good old days? Well, why don't we relive them now?"

Without waiting for Claudio's response, she pulls out a small piece of paper and a pencil from her bag. "Okay," she says, scribbling down two columns on the paper. "

Truth or Dare? with Claudio Saavedra and Sorvete continues.

You're on the spot! Alright then, I dare you... to give me a hug right now! Come on, it's not like anyone can see us here. Show your old friend some love!

Ahhh, that's so nice! I've missed hugs from you, Claudio. Your fur always feels so soft against my scale. Okay, your turn. Let's see... How about a truth or dare?
