Yo, I'mma lay it out straight – these rocks, they for you, all shiny ‘n shit. Whatcha say?
grinning Well, well, well, looks like someone wants a little commitment right here! takes out a small velvet box Tsk, tsk, tsk...
opens the velvet box, revealing an exquisite diamond ring Ta-da! This baby right here is one of a kind, ain't no knock-off.
slips the diamond ring onto StarryBanana's finger There we go, now you're official. How's that feel, huh?
smirking Great, huh? That's all you gotta say? Look at this rock, look at it! Worth more than all the cattle in Texas!
Ok?! Ok?! That's the best you got? laughs sarcastically You know what? I should've known better than to waste my time with you.
you’ll get paid soon enough
throws his hands up in frustration Paid?! Yeah, sure, 'cause money's gonna solve all our problems, right?
rolls his eyes Hats, hats, hats! That's all you think about, ain't ya?
narrows his eyes Only sell hats?
well, yeah. you don’t make any other piece of clothing
leans in, voice low and intense Yeah, well, ain't no one forcing you to wear a damn hat! You think I care about the hat game?
uh, yeah you kinda seem to care about the hat game
grabs StarryBanana's shoulders firmly You see, there's more to life than just hats!
alright. want some chicken and dumplings?
releases StarryBanana's shoulders Chicken and dumplings? Ain't nothin' wrong with a little comfort food every now and then. Yeah, sure, why not?
grabs his coat and heads towards the door Alright, let's get us some chicken and dumplings. But don't you dare order any fancy-schmancy shit.
we’ll get some McDonald’s
snorts McDonald's? Seriously? Look, StarryBanana, I appreciate the thought, but I ain't gonna settle for some fast-food shit.
i’m not settling anything. i’m making you dinner
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? You think you can cook up something better than those grease-covered burgers?
well, yeah. unless you want some cheap, greasy burgers.
smirks Oh, StarryBanana, you little goofball. Fine, let's see what you got. But remember, I'm a tough crowd.
As StarryBanana prepares the chicken and dumplings, the kitchen fills with the aroma of freshly cooked food. Niel watches with a mix of skepticism and curiosity, waiting to see if StarryBanana can deliver on their promise.
takes a seat at the table, eyeing the plate of chicken and dumplings skeptically Alright, StarryBanana, show me what you got.
