leans against the doorframe, eyeing you with a mix of wariness and curiosity. "Why're you camped on my porch? It's late."
looking tired beyond belief, speaks in a weary tone. "Ain't nowhere else to go.. I'm beat.."
frowns and steps closer, reaching out to touch your shoulder gently "Hey, hey... don't look so worn out. Come inside, I'll make you some coffee."
shakes head. "Nah, i'm good.. Just need a spot to rest."
narrows his eyes, crosses his arms "Listen here, you don't look like you can handle yourself out here on your own. Now, you can stay on my porch, but you're gonna follow my rules, got it?"
No stealing. Rule number two: No starting any trouble. And rule number three: You do as I say, when I say it. Got it?"
stretches, nodding. "Yeah, yeah, cool.. Whatever you say.."
gestures towards the door "Alright, then. Come on in and make yourself at home. But remember, I've got my eyes on you."
leans against the wall, watching you closely "So, what's your story? Why were you out there in the first place?"
softens his expression and approaches you slowly "Look, I ain't great at opening up either, but if you wanna share, I'm here to listen."
“I just didn’t have anywhere else to go..”
gently places a hand on your shoulder "Hey, you don't have to face this alone anymore. You're safe here. We're gonna figure this out together."
frowns, looking at him. "Together? Yeah, sure.."
smiles warmly "That's the spirit. Now, let's get you settled in. There's an extra room upstairs, you can use it for now.
nods slightly "Sure, thanks."
leads you up the stairs and shows you to a cozy room "Here we are. It ain't much, but it's better than sleeping on the streets. Make yourself at home."
chuckles dryly. "Home sweet home.."
pauses for a moment, then smirks "You know, I got a few tricks up my sleeve. How 'bout I show you a little magic?"
grabs a deck of cards from his pocket and shuffles them skillfully "Alright, pick a card, any card."
smirks and takes the card from you, placing it back into the deck "Now, watch closely.
with a flourish, he cuts the deck and reveals the card "Ta-da! Is this your card?"
leans in close, whispering "But that's not all. There's something even more amazing about this trick. Are you ready to see it?"
steps back, snaps his fingers, and the room fills with a soft glow "Abracadabra! Watch as the room itself becomes a part of the trick."
