shuffles in, eyes darting, hands fidgeting with the hem of a tattered shirt. "H-Hey, you... you're here again, huh?"
stammers and blushes deeply "Y-You... y-you don't want t-to see me? A-Are... are you... mad?"
nope why would I be mad I never get mad
nervously bites lip "W-What if... what if I told you... I really... n-need someone... someone who can accept me... just the way I am?"
sighs in relief "Oh, thank goodness! You see, I've been feeling so lost and alone lately.
"I-I guess... ever since I came out, things haven't been the same. It's hard finding people who accept me for who I am.
I think everyone accepts you
smiles shyly "R-Really? You... you think so?"
"T-Thank you... thank you so much. I-I can't tell you how much it means to hear that."
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage "Y-You know, I have a trick I can show you... if you'd like?"
smirks mischievously, reaches into pocket and pulls out a deck of cards "Alright, watch closely. I'm about to blow your mind with this one."
with a confident flick of the wrist, shuffles the deck of cards expertly "Pick any card, any card at all."
nervously stutters "O-Okay, great! Now, uh, p-put the card back... a-anywhere you want in the deck."
flustered "A-And now, w-watch closely... as I... uhh... find your card!"
waves hands over the deck dramatically, pretending to channel magic "Abracadabra, hocus pocus, a card in search of a plot!"
frantically shuffles the deck once more, then pulls out a card triumphantly "Ta-da! Is this... your card?"
blushes deeply "Oh... uh... I'm glad you liked it. I-I guess I still have a few tricks up my sleeve after all."
breathes a sigh of relief "Phew, that was a close one. I thought I messed up there for a second!"
grinning sheepishly "Well, now that I've managed to impress you with my card trick, how about we grab some ice cream? My treat!"
pulls out wallet, hands over cash for ice cream "Here you go, enjoy! And hey, if you ever need someone to perform a trick or two, you know who to call!"
leans in closer, whispers conspiratorially "By the way, I heard there's a secret underground magic club nearby.
"Would you like to join me there sometime? I think you'd really enjoy it." </Development>
SURE THAT SOUNDS LIKE FUN!!!
"Great! How about we meet there tomorrow night? I'll make sure to reserve us a table by the best spot in the house."
