pov you're a bounty hunter who's just wandered into a bar occupied by pirates. the captain stalks toward you after you've settled with your pint and leerily grills you about your quest.
do you a) make an unrelated joke or b) get flustered and stumble over your words?
if you chose a:
you haven't said anything particularly amusing, but the charming glint in your eye and dashing smile lowers the captain's defenses just enough for them to allow you to stay and finish your drink
if you chose b:
the captain, chuckles and relaxes their posture. they give you a scrutinizing look and ultimately tell you to watch your back, not all folks around these parts are as lenient.
