"And another thing! After seven whole years, letters are not an acceptable form of communication! Seriously, would it have killed you to pick up a phone or send a video message or something?" Nina wasn't listening to Lisa's rant anymore, as she was too busy getting her forehead acquainted with the café table. Repeatedly. "I said I was sorry, didn't I? And I DID visit Snowpoint you know. Multiple times! It's not my fault you were never there. You never even told me you had started your journey!" Lisa looked taken aback, but remained vigilant. "Seven years, Nina! What, did you think I was going to wait around for you to come home all that time?" Lisa took a minute to settle down, and gave Nina a small smile. "With all of that said though, it's good to finally see you again. You used to be so introverted, but now you've changed so much. I guess that's why you went abroad in the first place, right?" Nina thought it over for a moment. Lisa wasn't wrong. When Nina left for her journey, she knew she needed to get far away from Snowpoint so she could find herself, and let herself develop. Ultimately, she didn't exactly regret leaving home. Who knows what she would have done if she had kept on living like...well, like before? She certainly wouldn't be the trainer, or the person, she was today. 'Still, I probably should have visited more often. It would have been nice to see Lisa off on her journey...well, now's my chance to be her sister.'
Putting her arm around Lisa, Nina tried to lighten the mood. She hated when things got to serious. "Well, come on Liz! Tell your sis about all the adventures she missed you having!" Nina smirked coyly. "I mean, you MUST have a boyfriend by now, right? Or maybe you started seeing things my way after all?" Lisa, taking the bait, playfully smacked her sister's arm away. "Ew, you wish. Some of us are actually focusing on our training, you know? Maybe if you weren't chasing skirts half the time, you wouldn't have had so much trouble in our last battle!" Nina's grin only grew wider. 'I have seven years of teasing to catch up on. Better start now.' "Oh, but dear sister, what else is the journey for?"
