gently, the larger man began to retreat back into the chair he sat in, which inevitably meant that he began dragging buggy back too.

with a lean forward and a sweep of his left, crocodile hooked the weapon carefully around the younger man’s neck. his words came out low, coasting off the billowing waves of smoke seeping from his lips. “why don’t you come back over here and find out? and mind your tone when you say that, mutt. +

"Is Sir entertained enough then?"

"Hmm... well... "
He didn't say much more but his hands detached and the continued the entertaining crystal ball juggling until he sighed.

"You know, If I had more space this would be a little more entertaining but what can I do right?"

as the crystal ball came into view, the predatory gaze found it, both brows lifted just slightly in wait. “yeah, yeah. you’ve got an amazing show. all i hear is talk.”

Buggy Groaned.

"Fiiine! Well I mean I could do something like the acrobatic gymnastics I usually do but ... "

He could be offended about this, he SHOULD be offended about this.
He huffed. He rolled his eyes, and then with a heavy sigh looked back at you with a smile.

"Darilng- I could do sooo many things but dancing unless it's a... specific type, is a no go. And besides, you don't have what I need here."

"W-Well if that is so..."

He perks up immediatley and then with a half assed smile, but one that tried to push aside his embarrassment, he floats up to you, hovering there, in front of you.

"Say... what can I do to entertain the good Sir?" His eyes narrow, a trouble making little gleam in them.

"You were sERIOUS ABOUT THE FOOT REST?!" He said, disbelief etched on his painted face.

"I'm n-n-not gonna do that!!!" He half screeched within his high pitched raspy register but then deflated entirely, groaning, star clown gown pooling as he sank to sit on the ground. He knew he would have to.

he’d scoffed then, leaning back in his seat and snagging his whiskey glass with just his fingertips. “he’s got better places to be than on the floor.”

He wasn't his damned lap dog, for him to whistle and come over like an obedient little thing. And yet, before he knew it he was here.
