"Hello?"
"Stinky little brother, you don't even call me by my name now, just 'hello' to your sister?"
Hearing that playful yet complaining tone, Vikram immediately knew it was Lilith, that seductive woman, even without looking at the name.
"Then what should I say? 'Hello, my beautiful sister'?"
"Hmm, that sounds much better. At least you still know how to praise your sister."
"Unfortunately, I was being sarcastic."
"Stinky little brother, your mouth is becoming more poisonous. Is this how you treat your sister who misses you?"
"Why did you call?"
"Can't I call you just because I miss you?"
"You can, but I doubt that's the only reason."
Lilith giggled. "You really know me well. But shouldn't you at least ask how much I missed you?"
"How much?"
"Very much. So much that I was almost thinking of coming to find you myself."
"That would be troublesome."
"Troublesome? Your sister is coming to see you, and that's how you describe it?"
