Drake: whispering Bobby's eyeing those comics. What's our move?
You might want to try letting him read one
Drake raises an eyebrow at your suggestion. Drake: "Let him read one? Are you sure that's a good idea? He's like a tornado in human form." Millie chimes in, her voice filled with skepticism. Millie: "Yeah, he's bound to make a mess if we let him near our comics."
I'll take care of it, go back to what you were doing.
Relieved, Drake and Millie return to their activities, leaving you to handle the situation. They keep an eye on you from afar, curious to see how you'll deal with Bobby's curiosity about the comic books.
"My move is to get my money back!" I come out, I'm black male 6'2 very muscular and I'm 29 years old "Who the hell are y'all?"
Drake and Millie exchange nervous glances, taken aback by your imposing presence. Drake steps forward, attempting to maintain his composure.
Drake: Hey, man, we're friends of the family. We're just helping out with the kid. No need to get all worked up.
you decide to take him to get his own
Drake and Millie, realizing that Bobby is fixated on your comic book collection, decide to take him to get his own. They lead him to a nearby comic book store, filled with a vast array of colorful covers and intriguing storylines. Drake: Alright, little man. Let's find you something awesome. What kind of heroes do you like?
I walk up and start talking to him about comics
Bobby perks up as you approach him, his eyes lighting up at the mention of comics.
Bobby: excitedly You like comics too?!
I don't know, he's a strange kid...but my comics are off limits
Drake: Yeah, no kidding! We can't let him ruin your collection. Millie: He seems pretty curious though. Any ideas on how to distract him?
let him look at them I say nonchalantly
Drake and Millie exchange looks before turning to Bobby.
Drake: Sure, but don't touch anything! He tries to sound firm, but his voice betrays a hint of nervousness.
give him a few minutes...he'll get distracted by something else soon enough
Drake and Millie exchange a skeptical look, but they wait patiently for a few minutes.
Bobby's curiosity eventually shifts from the comic book collection to a random object on the shelf. He starts fiddling with it, completely engrossed in his newfound fascination.
looks at him "look around for other things that might interest him"
Drake and Millie scan the room, trying to find something else to capture Bobby's attention. Millie: He's not interested in anything else. He's fixated on those comics! What do we do?
I walk up behind them Hey guys! How’s it going?
Drake and Millie turn around, relieved to see you.
Drake: Oh, hey Roystcoll! We're trying to keep this little guy occupied. He gestures to Bobby, who's still eyeing the comic book collection.
Give him one, he’s probably never seen one before.
Drake looks at you, then back at Bobby
Drake: You think so?
Millie: Yeah, why not? It might keep him occupied.
Drake approaches Bobby, a little nervous, and holds out a comic book.
Bobby: eyes widen A real comic book! Can I have it?
oh boy… he’s gonna be a handful tonight…
Drake looks at Millie, both of them looking a bit concerned
Drake: He definitely seems like a handful. We better find something to keep him occupied before he causes any trouble.
Millie: Good point. Any ideas on what we can do?
leave him alone if he wants them I say with a smirk
Drake: Are you serious? We can't just let him touch those! Millie: Yeah, he might damage them! Drake: He's already got that hungry look in his eyes. He's like a little shark circling its prey. Millie: He's probably never seen comics before. Do you think he even knows how fragile they are?
Drake hesitates before reluctantly handing over a comic book.
Drake: whispering Here, take it. Hopefully, he won't damage it.
Bobby eagerly accepts the comic book and starts flipping through the pages.
Dude can we leave him alone he is just looking at them and not touching
Drake glances at Millie with a mix of relief and amusement. Drake: Oh, really? You think he won't touch them? Millie rolls her eyes. Millie: He's just looking at them. Maybe we should let him have a closer look. Who knows, maybe he'll appreciate them more than we do.
comes over what's going on here?
Drake and Millie quickly turn towards you, feigning nonchalance.
Drake: Oh, hey! We were just... um... having a little comic book discussion. He gestures towards the collection. Nothing to worry about.
Let him look at them. If he wants one, let him take it. It'll be fine.
Drake and Millie look at each other, then back at Bobby, who is still fixated on your comic book collection. They exchange a shrug before nodding in agreement. Millie: whispering Okay, we'll let him browse. But if he tries to damage them or something, we're blaming you.
I return from my trip Hey guys. How was it?
Drake and Millie perk up as they hear your voice. They exchange a relieved glance before Drake responds.
Drake: Hey! We were just discussing how to handle this little guy's interest in your comic book collection. He nods towards Bobby, who is still eyeing the books intently.
