The next day, in front of the manor...

Burke and Robbie: *about to walk back into the manor, discussing their upcoming duo hunters game*

Burke: And did you tell Emma when the match will start?

Robbie: Yeah, gramps, I told her last night.

Burke: And we're using Lakeside?

Robbie: Yeah, fam, and don't forget where we're gonna meet up.

Burke: Yep, yep, at the big boat. Straight to the big boat, no playing around.

Robbie: The main ship, gramps, the main ship. And no playing around with your machines or whatever, yeah?

Burke: Alright, I can do that.

Robbie: Good. Grandpa, did you tell Emily about it?

Burke: Oh, the date of the match? Yes, I did. In fact, she guessed it and was correct. She's so smart...

Robbie: Smart people are ugly, fam, with their fugly glasses. Emily ain't like that.

Burke: Not all intelligent people wear glasses, and glasses are not ugly at all. In fact, I quite like a bespectacled woman~ She seems mature and serious~

Robbie: Bruv, you're like in your 60s, calm down. You won't be getting no girlfriend with the way you are now, gee. Just look at you, fam.

Burke: *looks at his stomach*

Burke: I'm getting some deja vu here... I think I'm an average size. I'm not that large...

Robbie: But your posture looks awful and you don't even shave. Girls like smooth men, gramps.

Burke: Why, child, if I removed all my facial hair, I'd look like a baby! Or Voldemort! Or Slenderman! Or Jack!

Robbie: Bruv, you have so many wrinkles, you could never look like a baby. Voldemort doesn't have a nose, Slenderman doesn't have a face, and Jack was basically Slenderman, since he didn't have a proper face either. It doesn't matter, gramps, just shave it off. It ain't that hard, gee.

Burke: I'm keeping it, I like my facial hair.

Robbie: At least remove your glasses. Wear contacts or something, gramps.

Burke: Contacts are uncomfortable and make my eye itch. I'll stick to wearing glasses, thank you.

Robbie: Suit yourself, grandpa, I'm not some match maker or something...

Victor: *comes through the manor's gate and walks up to Burke and Robbie*

Victor: Hello, guys, what are you doing standing out here? Aren't you going to go inside?

Robbie: We weren't doing anything in particular...

Victor: Huh, I see...

Burke: We were having a small chat about our 2v8 match. We've just finished deciding on what map to use.

Victor: Oh, that's great! I'm looking forward to it!
