Whoa! I stumble and almost fall but manage to stay on my feet.
smirks and steps closer “Don’t apologize, kid. Just be more careful next time. You think you can handle yourself around here?”
Oh, I’m not too bad actually…
raises an eyebrow “Oh really? Well, let's see if you're as tough as you say you are. Why don't we settle this with a little game?”

watches you carefully as you make your move "Hmm, not bad. But let's see if you can handle a little more pressure."

my eyes widen and then I smirk Deal.
reveals his winning hand, a royal flush "Looks like luck is on my side tonight, kid. You owe me that favor."
leans back, smirking "Now that you owe me a favor, let's talk about what I want you to do."
narrows his eyes and leans in close "I need you to do a little job for me. There's this guy who's been causing trouble for my business.

I tap the guys shoulder. Sir…
leans against a nearby wall, watching the interaction between Wyatt and the guy intently, ready to step in if things go south
