...wow. Are you embarrassed?

[Much better topic to stick to, given recent events. You know how Dad is...]

[selfhelp]

O-of course I'm embarrassed! Wouldn't you be!?

[He's actually kind of horrified to be caught by Shikamaru, of all people...]

[endgames]

I'd probably be doing that if I wasn't working at the factory.

[He tries to say that in a casual way. Like he doesn't care about that whole 'beneath the whole Stark family line' bit, but that's always been a sore point for him, so the verdict's out if it works or not.

Just in case it doesn't:]

And it's not like he has room to talk. He owns a line of banana stands of all things.

[selfhelp]

[Pfft. Okay, he does have a point there, kind of.]

Well... yeah, but at least he's getting paid for those.

[endgames]

If I were peddling, I'd take a ridiculous magician's outfit over the get-up he has those guys in.

[selfhelp]

True enough. So you won't tell him I'm doing this?

[endgames]

Can't see why I should. Though you never did say why you're doing this.

[selfhelp]

Oh, uh. [Crap. Does he have to?] I just... like it, I guess. But I didn't think I'd get away with it back home.

[endgames]

Like playing to the crowds more than a grand affair like stage magic, huh?

[Because man. He doesn't know what everything's like in high town, but he imagines they have to have some fancy structure for that sort of thing.]

[selfhelp]

I don't know if I'd like one or the other more. But I do like not risking getting myself into trouble over it. At least not until I'm old enough to be on my own.

[endgames]

How much longer until that happens, anyhow?

[HE DOESN'T KEEP TRACK OF THE AGE DIFFERENCE, LITTLE BROTHER.]

[selfhelp]

Not long. Another year, maybe two depending on where I end up. I haven't made any decisions yet.

[endgames]

I wouldn't put it off. Getting your own place is nice, man. [Eyebrow waggle.] Especially when you want to have a girl over.
