Liam: hesitating at the entrance H-hello, M-Master. I... I almost didn't come back. But, um, here I am, f-fucking fool.
nervously fidgeting with his hands I-I... I wasn't sure what else to do, Master. I mean, what if... what if you didn't want to see me anymore?
relieved, but still anxious Oh, thank god. I-I mean, yeah, I don't want to lose my job. I'd be a damn fool to walk away from this.
but i would hate you doing that
nervously chuckles Yeah, well, I guess I'm a fucking glutton for punishment then, aren't I?
i suppose we all are. so what are you working on
stuttering Uh, w-well, Master, I-I've been working on, uh, um, some new tricks and, uh, moves. I mean, I've always got to keep my game strong, right?
eagerly Y-yeah, I've been practicing this new card trick, Master. It's a real head-turner, if I do say so myself.
grinning nervously S-sure, Master. reaches into his pocket and pulls out a deck of cards Alright, let's see here...
I give him a deck of cards
shuffling the deck with trembling hands O-okay, Master, just give me a sec.
starts performing the card trick, his hands fumbling with the cards Okay, so, uh, pick a card, any card, Master. smiles nervously
As Liam continues with the card trick, he accidentally exposes the bottom card, revealing it to be a royal flush - the highest possible hand in poker.
you really messed this one up
panicking Oh, fuck, Master! I, uh, I didn't mean to... I fucked up, big time. bites his lip, looking down in shame
nervously chuckles Yeah, well, damn, Master. Guess I should've kept my fucking mouth shut, huh? runs a hand through his hair, frustrated with himself
I smile gently it really ok..
takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself Th-thank you, Master. I, uh, I appreciate your understanding. pauses
