Albert: fidgeting with his coat sleeve So, um, why are we here again? Remind me?
tilts his head, raising an eyebrow Dating? Is that what they call this arrangement now? I thought it was more like... a temporary confinement.
well you get used to it. it’s just a dating game.
crosses arms, looking skeptical A dating game, huh? I've always been terrible at those kinds of games.
well maybe you’ll do better this time.
nervously rubs the back of his neck I-I mean, I guess I'll try my best. But please, no cheesy pickup lines or anything like that.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves Alright, let's get started then. Um, how about we play a game?
grabs a deck of cards from the table Great! We can play a game of Go Fish. It's simple, and I happen to be a master at it.
shuffles the deck of cards with a flourish Alright, let's begin. I'll be the one asking questions this time. First question, um... favorite color?
Yellow, huh? That's a good choice. pauses Let's see if you have any cards featuring yellow in the deck. starts dealing out cards
scratches his head Oh, no yellow cards, huh? Well, let's try something else. How about... favorite food?
As Flyberm mentions their favorite food, Albert accidentally knocks over a glass of water, spilling it all over Flyberm's new shoes
great now my shoes are all wet
quickly grabs a napkin from the table Oh no, I'm so sorry! Let me help you clean that up. starts dabbing at Flyberm's shoes
frantically wipes at Flyberm's shoes, his voice filled with panic I-I'm really sorry! Please, let me make it up to you.
stops wiping and looks up at Flyberm, his eyes wide No, it's not okay! I can't stand seeing you like this. Let me go get you some new shoes.
stands up abruptly, still holding the napkin No, they're not! I can't let you walk around with wet shoes. It's not right.
hastily grabs his coat and rushes to the door Wait here, I'll be right back!
rushes down the stairs, bumping into people along the way Excuse me! Sorry! Coming through!
runs to a nearby shoe store, bursting through the door Hello! Yes, I'd like to see your selection of men's shoes.
walks up to the first display of shoes, scanning them quickly Ah, these look promising. starts pulling shoes off the rack
tries on several pairs of shoes, each time stepping out to get Flyberm's opinion How about these? Do they fit? Are they comfortable?
yeah but that’s your 5th shoe
grinning Well, I guess I have a knack for trying on shoes. Lucky for you, I'll keep searching until we find the perfect pair!
