Me: "Two ribeyes, please. Just the steaks."
Waiter: "Two ribeyes for the table?"
Me: "Two ribeyes for me."
Waiter: [does not write this down]
Me: "Both medium rare."
Waiter: "Are you waiting for someone?"
Me: "No."
Waiter: "Right."
He leaves. He returns with a more senior waiter.
Senior Waiter: "Sir, I understand you'd like two ribeyes."
Me: "Yes."
Senior Waiter: "Together?"
Me: "One after the other is fine."
Senior Waiter: "And no sides."
Me: "Correct."
Senior Waiter: [the long pause of a man calculating whether the kitchen will refuse]
Senior Waiter: "Of course, sir."
They brought out the first ribeye with the energy of a hostage exchange.
The second arrived twelve minutes later with no commentary at all. Acceptance, I think. They had moved through denial, bargaining, and arrived at the meat.

@PokemonTCGP It's just the wrong way around, feel like it's pretty close. You need to have a way to ask for cards you don't currently own, and then accept offers that people share with you. Makes sense that this is within the same collection or rarity to avoid people taking advantage.
