Okay, so here's the deal: while Bracken loves pool for all its endless innuendos (the balls! the shafts! the tips! the suggestive ways he gets to bend over!), he also happens to be complete shit at it. Like, 'never won a game' shit. But that doesn't stop him from loping over to top girl Maya and announcing "Ringer's here!", nor from leaning in real close (and so, so far down... she's so tiny...) to whisper "Ain't never won a game. Cool?" into her ear.
Maya looks delighted by this because of course there were going to be assumptions that Bracken was really the ringer and she wouldn't be any competition. She looks absolutely delighted by this information.
Right on cue, Bracken hefts his pool cue over his head for a biiiiiiig stretch. Look at this biiiiiiig man, he must be sooooooo good at calculating all those aaaaaaangles.
Maya takes this opportunity to sip her drink again, to prevent the laughter from bubbling over as people started To Take Notice of This Hulking Man. That's when one of the tables becomes free and they step up.
She enjoys every single moments of them being completely unworried when it's her turn and she makes. them. pay.
Bracken's job is to look pretty. He does a lot of popping his hip out, sticking his tongue through his teeth when he lines up shots, and rolling up the sleeves of his flannel.
Buddy doesn't sink a single ball. But that's fine, because he's on Maya's team!!!
