He kept holding her.

She smiled a little bit.

She nuzzled into his arms.

Sophie smiled back.

He held her close, smiling softly.

She took a deep breath.

She smiled back and kissed his cheek.

“Uh, I think it's your turn to ask a question.” Sophie commented a little awkwardly.

He closed his eyes.

"Right! Sorry." she laughed a little bit. "Uhm. What's your favorite game? To play? Could be a board game, video game, whatever."

Jade curled up next to him.

“It’s ok.” Sophie smiled. “Let’s see… I like Mirrors Edge but I can't beat Jade in anything electronic. You saw I’m good at pool and darts, but I’m also pretty good at… most card games; poker, 21, stuff like that.”

He kept holding onto her.

She nodded a little bit. "Neat! I think I told you that I prefer Minecraft, because I'm a nerd like that." She laughed softly.

She smiled softly, leaning against him.

“You did. Though you said it was because you were an architect.” Sophie grinned.

He kissed her again.

"It is. I prefer creative, so that I can build." she smiled back.

She cupped the side of his face and happily returned the kiss.

“Understandable.” Sophie nodded.

He smiled again, looking at her.

"Yeah." she tucked back a lock of loose hair.

She smiled back as she met his gaze.

“Alright. My turn.” Sophie smiled, watching the gesture. “Is that your natural hair color?”

He kissed the top of her head.

"What, this red?" she asked, touching the locks of hair. It was a hard question; technically no, but also yes. It wasn't dyed, in any case. "Yes. Mostly."

She closed her eyes and gave a soft hum.

“Mostly? That's an interesting answer.” Sophie pointed out with a raised brow.

He kept holding her.

"There's a bit of dye, but it is naturally red." she clarified. Well. "clarified". There was no dye.

She smiled contentedly.

“Ah.” Sophie nodded, accepting that answer. Besides, it's not like she had a power or anything. The only time people bragged about having an ability was when someone was in costume or if it made them rich and famous.

He hummed faintly.

She smiled softly at Sophie.

She hummed softly in reply.

Sophie smiled brightly back.

He laughed a little bit.

She thought for a moment. "My turn, yeah?"

“What?” she smiled, looking up at him.

Sophie nodded. “Yeah. Your turn.”

"Nothing." he replied softly.

"Right. Ah…when you die, what would you most want to be remembered for?"

Jade raised a brow and poked his side.

Sophie's eyes widened at that question. “Uh… Wow! Wasn't expecting that.” she admitted, taking a sip of her water. “Honestly… I don't really expect to be remembered at all. I mean, I hope Jade will remember me as a good friend, even if I drive her crazy because of how free-spirited I am compared to her. But all the dates I’ve been on and all the relationships I’ve had… I don't know how many of them will even remember my name.”

He raised his eyebrows at her. "What?"

She laughed a little bit. "Yeah, it's always an interesting question to ask." she replied, shrugging her shoulders for a moment. "And…yeah. That's…I get it."

“Why'd you laugh?” she smirked.

Sophie chuckled softly and rubbed the back of her neck. “Yeah. Sorry if that sounded depressing. I just… I don't know. Life's too short to live by other people's standards. Just go out there, be yourself and have the best time you can.”

"Ah, no reason."

"Nah, it's fine. Like I said, I get it." she replied.

She sighed and leaned against him. “I don't know why I'm having a hard time believing that…”

“Thanks.” Sophie smiled softly. “What about you? What do you want to be remembered for?”

He laughed a little. "I wonder." he replied, soft and teasing.

"I don't know. Beautiful houses. Or, perhaps, for…I don't know. Inspiring people."

“I’m sure there's a reason.” she snickered.

Sophie nodded thoughtfully. “Inspiring people is a good one.”

He laughed a little. "Maybe, maybe not."

She smiled. "Yeah. I hope so."

“No. I’m pretty sure there is.” she giggled.

Sophie smiled back. “I bet you could.”
