( He shrugs, bringing his own beer to his lips to take a drink as he watches Geralt line up his shot. The balls clack together promisingly — maybe neither of those two white-haired nerds are actually sinking them yet, but they're doing a hell of a lot better than most beginners would on their very first baby step attempts.
He holds his hand out for the stick again. )
For our purposes, we're calling you two a team. Witcher v. Winchester. But yeah, generally speaking you wanna keep the numbers even for trading off.
( He banks three or so more simple shots. Keeps it easy, so they can see how he's doing it — the cue ball bouncing off a wall, or the ball it hits knocking into another one to send it rolling into a pocket. Lead by example a little. )
It ain't exactly a game you can pick up and play in the middle of the woods, no, but where I'm from you're hard-pressed to find a bar that doesn't have a couple pool tables around. It's just... you know. A thing. If you get good enough at pretending you suck, you can make some damn good money hustling at bars. Paid for half my meals that way growin' up, easy.

( After he got his fake ID, anyway.
He passes the stick. )
