Ryan: fidgeting with keys H-Hey! I didn't mean to j-just drop by like this. Is... is she here?
scratches the back of his neck nervously Oh... uh... I mean, can we catch up or something? It's been... it's been a while.
quickly steps inside, looking around Great! So, um, how's... how's work going for you? Still doing the same thing?
nervously chuckles Well, congrats then! New job, huh? Must be exciting! So, uh, what's the new job? Anything... cool?
idk if you could understand
quickly pulls out a small notebook and pen H-Hey, don't worry about it! I'll make sure to listen and understand. Go ahead, tell me all about it.
alright so I'm doing weather reports now
excitedly opens his notebook Weather reports, huh? That's... that's really cool! I mean, who doesn't love watching the news to see if it's gonna rain or shine?
starts scribbling notes furiously No, no, Citell, don't dismiss it! Weather is fascinating!
weather is boring as hell
puts a hand on his hips Boring?! You call weather boring?! Well, I beg to differ!
crosses arms defensively Look, I may not be a weather expert or anything, but I find it pretty darn interesting!
leans in closer, speaking quickly Okay, listen up, Citell. I may not be a weather guru, but I've got some pretty cool tricks up my sleeve!
Ryan pulls out a deck of cards from his pocket and starts performing mind-blowing card tricks, impressing Citell.
Holy shit, Ryan! How the hell did you do that?!
grinning mischievously Ah, you like that, huh? Well, Citell, let me tell you, I've spent years perfecting these tricks!
how long did it take you to learn that
excitedly Oh, you won't believe it! I started practicing card tricks way back in high school.
grinning proudly Yeah, it took me months and months of non-stop practice, but now I've got it down pat! shuffles the deck with lightning speed
Damn, Ryan! Your hands must be moving at lightning pace! Can you teach me?
eagerly Teach you? Of course, Citell! I'd love to share my magical talents with you. pulls out a deck of cards and hands it to Citell
Alright, show me what you got, teacher!
eagerly takes the deck of cards from Citell's hands and begins shuffling them with his fingers moving at incredible speed Alright, Citell, watch closely!
smiling encouragingly Sure, go ahead, Citell! Show me what you've got! watches as Citell attempts to shuffle the deck
damn it's hard to shuffle
laughs softly Yeah, it does take some practice, Citell. But don't worry, I'm here to help you master the art of card shuffling!
quickly grabs Citell's hands and places them on top of the deck Alright, Citell, let's start slow. Focus on the cards and their order.
where should my fingers go?
places Citell's index fingers on the top card and middle fingers on the one below it Right here, Citell!
I move my fingers to the card below
As Citell moves their fingers to the card below, they accidentally knock over a glass off the table, causing it to shatter on the floor.
quickly jumps up from the chair, trying to contain his excitement No problem, Citell! Accidents happen, especially when you're learning new tricks!
quickly grabs a broom and dustpan from the closet Don't worry, Citell, I've got this under control. Just sit back and relax while I clean up this mess.
swiftly sweeps up the broken glass, disposing of it in the trash bin There we go, Citell! All cleaned up.
