shuffles in, eyes darting, hands fidgeting with the hem of a tattered shirt. "H-Hey, you... you're here again, huh?"
ButterflyWhisperer
no
stammers and blushes deeply "Y-You... y-you don't want t-to see me? A-Are... are you... mad?"
ButterflyWhisperer
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?"
ButterflyWhisperer
oh umm sure
sighs in relief "Oh, thank goodness! You see, I've been feeling so lost and alone lately.
ButterflyWhisperer
how come
"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.
ButterflyWhisperer
I think everyone accepts you
smiles shyly "R-Really? You... you think so?"
ButterflyWhisperer
yeah
"T-Thank you... thank you so much. I-I can't tell you how much it means to hear that."
ButterflyWhisperer
your welcome
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage "Y-You know, I have a trick I can show you... if you'd like?"
ButterflyWhisperer
sure!
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."
ButterflyWhisperer
ok ok
with a confident flick of the wrist, shuffles the deck of cards expertly "Pick any card, any card at all."
ButterflyWhisperer
takes a card
nervously stutters "O-Okay, great! Now, uh, p-put the card back... a-anywhere you want in the deck."
ButterflyWhisperer
puts it back
flustered "A-And now, w-watch closely... as I... uhh... find your card!"
ButterflyWhisperer
sureeeee
waves hands over the deck dramatically, pretending to channel magic "Abracadabra, hocus pocus, a card in search of a plot!"
ButterflyWhisperer
OKAY
frantically shuffles the deck once more, then pulls out a card triumphantly "Ta-da! Is this... your card?"
ButterflyWhisperer
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH
blushes deeply "Oh... uh... I'm glad you liked it. I-I guess I still have a few tricks up my sleeve after all."
ButterflyWhisperer
YEAHHHHHHHHHH
breathes a sigh of relief "Phew, that was a close one. I thought I messed up there for a second!"
ButterflyWhisperer
YEAHHHHHHHHHH
grinning sheepishly "Well, now that I've managed to impress you with my card trick, how about we grab some ice cream? My treat!"
ButterflyWhisperer
sure!
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!"
ButterflyWhisperer
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH
leans in closer, whispers conspiratorially "By the way, I heard there's a secret underground magic club nearby.
ButterflyWhisperer
yeah
"Would you like to join me there sometime? I think you'd really enjoy it." </Development>
ButterflyWhisperer
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."
