It was really nice to hear from James, so much so, that she didn't mind hearing his ramblings. When he used to do it, she'd tell him to shut up. She'd do that by either kissing him or smacking on the arm, she was sure he much preferred the former solution. But it had been ages since she had heard his voice and she was honestly interested in what he had been up to. It was good to hear his family was together again, reunited back home. Of course the accident itself wasn't good but if people were apart by oceans, she was sure it could have been handled much worse. James then mentioned how busy he was with work, even though he did enjoy it. It sounded like he needed more friends around and she hoped she could help him get out more.

"We did get a little overboard with the drinking sometimes." She admitted when he mentioned how he didn't drink as much as when they were younger. No one really minded if teens drank, it was easy for them to get and often times it just meant they would grow out of it later on, as opposed to just becoming drunks. Sasha didn't do a lot of drinking back in high school, but she knew at certain parties or occasions, she and James had definitely had some good times and usually that was thanks to the wonderful elixir of alcohol. "I'm glad to hear you're not a bumbling drunk, drinking alone is never good." She mentioned lightly. 

Then came the topic of technology and Sasha already felt like she was being hit by all sorts of deja vu moments. 

Her lips curved into a bigger smile as she sat back and continued to listen to the blond boy babble on and on. It really was cute and she found herself missing him even more, despite the fact that he was sitting in front of her. VR was an amazing feat and she was happy to part of such an invention. Back in they day, people could only speculate and it was like the future was finally here and it was amazing. "James...James." She tried to settle him down and bring him back to the present. She knew how he could get and often, he could leave everyone else far behind if he latched onto topics like these. She smacked his shoulder lightly from across the table and shook her head.

"I know you're excited but slow don't." She said gently. "Speaking of games, that new Pokemon MMO is pretty fun, it's about time they made such a massive game with different regions and difficulties. Not only that but you can pick your path, I got so bored of being a trainer who took on the Gyms you know? I know everyone is already on other regions but I'm taking my time." She mentioned. "If you haven't tried it, I'd love to pay for you join." She was still trying to think of some kind of way to give him something that showed she cared and that she was sorry. "I still can't believe Doctor Who is still running, I guess it rakes in the money." She shruged as she took another chip and ate it. "You know you've got to let me cook for us sometime. I've learned a few tricks since I've been gone and this," she gestured to the tray between them. "isn't a proper meal."
