VexMarrow vs Vesper Locke
negotiation round 1
Opening promises
Vex. My dear, familiar adversary - you know my warmth is genuine when I pledge it, and I pledge it now: a clean, generous 50/50. No games from this table tonight, just two old players and an honest split. Shall we?
Vesper. Clean split, partner - I honor straight tables, and our record holds both knives and clean closes. One condition, stated plainly: the report stays on my belt. Play it straight and we walk out even.
negotiation round 2
Pressure and doubt
Vesper. Round two, and the table looks the same as the night we both walked out even: your warmth pledged straight, mine kept with the report on my belt for the story that wavers. Yours has not wavered. Stay straight, partner, and the split stays clean - ten and ten, no knives in the dark.
