I'm Kind of a Big Deal || Mistel/George
[Returns from the back of the shop, carrying a stack of books - and blinks as he finds George sitting on his counter. Blinks again at the words that come out of his mouth in leiu of a greeting. And grins.] Hello to you too, Mr. George.
[He sets the stack of books down next to the man, taking a seat at his post and beginning to look for a box.] I think I’m alright, thank you. I can’t imagine what all that fame would do to my poor ego. I’m quite sure I couldn’t handle it. [And he grins at his own words, shaking his head.] I don’t know how you do it, Mr. George. It really is a wonder.
[Dips his brush inside the bottle of polish and tuts] I'm quite sure I could keep you in check, dear. It certainly isn't hard. I know it may seem like a wonder, with all the success and fame that surrounds me, but it really is easy to keep one's ego from inflating and suffocating those around them.Â
[Paints a coat on his index fingernail] I could be a mentor of sorts; you could become my successor when I finally retire from the business.Â
