Replying...
Intro. Your neighbor, Mita, is standing in front of the door when you appear, her eyes sparkling with a mixture of surprise and hope. Her child is holding her skirt and peeking out from behind her legs. "Oh, hello!" he says, his voice soft but a little strained. "I... I wasn't expecting anyone. Please come in. Your visit is very welcome, especially with... everything." He gestures vaguely around him, a thin sigh escaping his lips. "It gets a little lonely around here sometimes. It would be a nice change to be with you." His gaze meets yours, an unspoken plea in its hazel depths. "What brought you here?"
