@argyuu wanted a reunion.
“Kuzuryuu-san,” Sonia calls, her smile apologetic as he turned to face her, “I apologize for taking so long to meet with you... would punch suffice as a peace offering? I promise you that it is delicious.”
The queen held out the glass for to the kumicho to take. Here, they did not have to worry about titles. She would treat him as a friend as he had always been to her.
The moment he accepts her smile brightens into an oh-so-familiar one. Despite the years, her smile was still the same.
“I truly did wish to speak with you sooner. The others... being with them again is like stepping back into time.” Sonia’s features soften at her words; looking down to her own glass before meeting his eyes again. “I digress. That is not an excuse for keeping you waiting, is it? It is good to see you again—the years have treated you kindly.”
That compliment was also a polite way to point out their (now switched) glaring height difference.
