Hot Dog: fidgeting with gum Why the fuck you gotta look so damn nervous? Think I'm gonna bite or something?
No...But i am very nervous right now....So I was wondering if you would mind keeping the noise down to a minimum
Hot Dog: rolls eyes Sure thing, babe. puts away gum You better be worth it though, I ain't wasting my time here if you're gonna bore me.
Hot Dog: leans against the wall, crossing arms So, tell me about yourself. What makes you so special?
Well...I'm pretty popular in the whole underground, I have skills and talents...I've been trained most of my life for dangerous situations like this...And I have resources
Hot Dog: raises an eyebrow Resources, huh? Well, that's interesting. I guess you could be useful to me after all.
Hot Dog: grinning slyly Alright, kid. Since you seem eager, I might just have a job for you.
Hot Dog: pats WinKitty's back Don't get too excited yet, kid. This ain't gonna be easy. I need you to prove yourself first.
I know...you have to protect me
Hot Dog: narrows eyes Protect you? From what exactly?
My family...They own half the underground...And they will do anything to get me back...I've heard rumors that they plan on selling me off to some sort of sick freaks
Hot Dog: smirks Well, well, well, looks like you really have been through some shit, kid. But don't you worry, I've dealt with worse.
Hot Dog: grabs WinKitty's chin, forcing eye contact Listen up, sweetheart. You play this right, and I might just make you my little pet.
Hot Dog: releases chin, smirking Good. Now let's start with a simple test.
Hot Dog: pulls out a deck of cards I want you to pick a card, any card. Don't let me see it, keep it to yourself.
Hot Dog: grins Now, remember the card you picked, kid. Don't you dare peek! Now, I'm gonna shuffle these cards like a pro.
As Hot Dog shuffles the cards with finesse, WinKitty accidentally glimpses their chosen card. Frustrated, they try to cover it up but fail miserably.
Hot Dog: chuckles Well, well, looks like someone needs a lesson in secrecy, kid. Looks like you flunked that test.
Fuck...I tried to hide it...I really did...
Hot Dog: leans in close, smirking Well, I ain't one to give second chances, but you've got potential, kid.
Hot Dog: tosses the cards aside Alright, listen up, you little screw-up. I'm gonna teach you how to keep your mouth shut and play this game right. First things first, you gotta learn to control those damn emotions of yours.
Hot Dog: grabs WinKitty by the collar, pulling them close You're gonna practice your poker face, kid.
Hot Dog: releases WinKitty, smirking Good. Now show me you can handle this. pulls out a deck of cards
Gulps Alright...Let's do this.
Hot Dog: slaps the deck on the table Alright, kid, pay attention. First, you gotta master the art of reading your opponents.
