Chapter 117 - [117] Starbucks and chill...

I gulped as I sat on the stool by the window, holding in my hands a trenta size cool lime refresher.Now cut me some slack, it's been a long time since I arranged a meet up with someone IRL...Ok maybe never, so this first time did make it a little extra intense..."I am here!" came an energetic voice bursting through the doors.My eyes widened a little."I am sorry I was 5 minute late, I was getting my dress on!" Via brushed aside a strand of her long golden hair. "Um..." I was still staring."You must be Riga right?" Via looked at me in disbelief for a moment."En..." I nodded slightly."Oh I finally meet you!" she said with a large cheery grin, then went up and sat down beside me.Via wore the same clothes she did in game, white hoodie with short jeans and black stockings. But seeing her in IRL did certainly add a layer of real to it..."Um..." I scratched my head and looked away. "Are you not going to drink anything?""No, I am fine. I came here for you anyways."I could feel my cheeks heat up a little."Oh! Um! I haven't told you my real name yet. It's Via." She smiled.I looked to her way again."Really?""Yep, I used my real name. So Riga-no I mean Raymond right?""En..." I shifted in my seat a little."Or do you prefer me to just call your game name, after all a stranger calling you by your real name can still be a little awkward...""It's fine. You can call me either.""Alrightes then!" Via bounced back with a smile."So..."We both said at the same time.I held my tongue."Oh no, you go first.""No, you first!" Via said."Fine." I cleared my throat. "So what were you going to ask?"We both let out a laugh."Ok, ok. I will ask, but I don't know if it's ok?...""Sure, just say it.""So..." Via darted her eyes around the room back and forth twice, then asked in a low voice. "How did you lose your arm?"Q: Have you ever asked someone about their personal trauma?
