She rubs the back of her neck. “Eh… I’ve been putting in the effort to give myself more… ‘me’ time. It’s not always been the easiest thing to slot back into. But I’ve… at least reconnected with my friends and family a bit more.” She looks over toward Gohan, Izzy, and Maple, smiling softly. “You’re lucky to have them.”
“Been making any new friends? Or maybe even…?” You give her a bit of a knowing smirk.
Your counterpart blushes and stammers a bit. “W-well, I uh… have made a few new friends…” In a quieter voice she adds, “…And I have been on a couple dates.”
“Reeeaaaaally now?” you question with an even bigger smirk. You telepathically ask, ‘She got a name?’
There’s a very quick telepathic answer of ‘Oats.’ and send you a mental image of a lady in a burgundy gi with black undershirt, grey-white hair, and a build kinda similar to Lazuli’s. Heh, you have to admit, she is pretty cute. Future Peppa then lets out an “Ahem.” to try and steer the conversation away from the topic. “Point is, I have been able to… start meeting new people.”
