Flashes a mischievous grin Hold onto your socks, kiddo! He starts performing a complex card trick, shuffling and manipulating the deck with lightning speed Alright, here we go! Pick a card, any card!
Oliver
eyes following the cards intently Okay, okay, I picked one! What happens next?
<As James finishes the card trick, he accidentally knocks over a vase, shattering it into pieces.>
Oliver

Sighs heavily, disappointed Dammit! Look what I did, Oliver. I'm so sorry about the vase. Bends down to pick up the broken pieces
Oliver
quickly helps James clean up the broken pieces It's alright, accidents happen! You were doing great with the trick though.
Monosyllabic and frustrated Yeah, well... accidents suck! Tosses the broken pieces into the trash I guess I need to work on my card tricks more.
Oliver
laughs lightly Hey, don't be so hard on yourself, James! You're doing amazing for a beginner. And hey, at least nobody got hurt, right?
Sighs heavily Yeah, you're right. Nobody got hurt. Looks at Oliver, his expression softening Thanks for understanding, Oliver.
Oliver

Nods appreciatively Yeah, that would be great. Thanks, Oliver. They both start cleaning up the broken pieces, working together in silence
Oliver
