Shawn: Griffix is Pleased...And Something Else
A wave of relief passed over Griffix's wolfish face. The lines around the corners of his mouth relaxed into well-worn creases, and the brows that were furrowed close together un-creased, giving him an easy-going look.
"Well now, that's a relief. 'Tis a wonderful thing, finding someone as dependent as you. A job well done. Ya' put it perfectly. Plain n' simple. Just as I like."
"Now let's see." Griffix shuffled the cards again. Then he separated them into two piles. Shawn had been playing with cards all summer, and so he knew that Griffix was about to do a Riffle Shuffle. Sure enough, the Leprechaun gripped both halves of the deck, each hand following the same position, thumb over the top edge and using his middle and ring fingers to support the bottom edge. The cards bent and flipped around in a satisfyingly crisp, ruffling sound, the whir of their movement fast and furious.
"This here is Kristin." Griffix said, placing the card down on the stump. The girl had a somewhat devious smile, and the backdrop was the Queen of Hearts. "She's a tight-lipped one. She'll hardly tell anyone what's goin' on."
