1. ‘Usually i see you first…’
   ‘Sentence ended early’

2. Aye, been working hard / wfh / not been about blah blah. How have you been anyway?

3. Same here

4. “My invisibility cloak has really come in handy!”

5. Just go with Nice to see you again foe

6. Nor have I, you.

7. I just smile and go yeah I know right? How have you been!

8. I know right, been a lot going on, sometimes life just sweeps you away.

   I know I haven’t seen me either

   Tell me about it I’ve been a hermit.

   I know, where’ve you been?!

   Needed time out to organise myself.

   Been training/partying like a bastard.

   I don’t think I can be associated with you any more.

   I know I’ve missed you.

9. “it really has been a lot has it! how have you been doing”

   maybe mention something about life that’s kept you busy, people usually try to make conversation when they say it’s been a while. a way to ask “hey what’s new”

10. Yeah i was on a space mission in mars with my homie elon musk. I have just returned to earth

11. “Hey X, what have you been up to recently?” or “Hey X, how have you been?”
