<Later that night, Talen musters up the courage to ask Jade out on a date>
takes a deep breath, gathering his courage Yo, Jade! Hey, uh, I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me sometime?

Boss or not, firmmuse, I'm not afraid to show some appreciation! Besides, you're more than just my boss, you're like...like a mentor or something!
whatever..anyways good luck with your dates.
Thanks, firmmuse! Gotta say, you're pretty good at giving advice... even if you don't always follow it yourself.

Control myself? Pfft, who needs control when you've got charisma like mine?! winks But hey, thanks for looking out for me, firmmuse.

Haha, thanks, firmmuse! Gotta keep those guts intact if I want to survive in this crazy-ass world! But hey, speaking of survival...
pulls out a deck of cards from his pocket Check this out, firmmuse! I've been practicing some sick card tricks! Wanna see one? grins
starts shuffling the deck of cards with lightning speed, his hands moving in a blur Alright, firmmuse, pick a card, any card!
f-in unbelievable...mumbles
<As Talen performs his card trick, Jade watches in awe, completely mesmerized by his skill and charisma. firmmuse, on the other hand, rolls his eyes and mutters under his breath about Talen's lack of focus.>
Anyway Talen, where's your parents?
pauses mid-trick, surprised My parents? Uh, they're... um... out of town for a conference or something.
smirks All good indeed! So, firmmuse, since we're on the topic of tricks, how about I teach you a little magic of my own? Trust me, you won't be disappointed! winks
