[...

tch.]

You're no fun.

[probe]

[there's a smirk from under the hood.]

I would have hoped you had something a bit more creative by now is all.

[toesies]

[She huffs.]

Fine. Assdere.

[probe]

Now that's just crass. [shut up greed.]

[toesies]

You told me to be creative.

[probe]

It's not even a real word at this rate.

[toesies]

When you think about it, aren't all words made up?

[probe]

Don't be obtuse. [THEY STARTED THIS?]

[toesies]

You started it.

[probe]

Did you really ask me here to feed me soup and argue with me?

[toesies]

Yeah? It's called hanging out.

[probe]

[...they stop to think about this, and they think about their usual social interactions with people before there's a nod.]

I suppose you have a point. This isn't as unusual as I thought.

[toesies]

See? And you were about to complain.

[probe]

It was not a complaint. Consider it an observation.

[toesies]

It sounded a little like a complaint.

[probe]

I've a feeling you'd say that about anything I had to say.

[toesies]

Maybe it's your tone...?

[worthyness]

What exactly is wrong with my tone? [they sadly sound serious about this.]

[toesies]

... Oh, honey.

[that isn't helpful, sheila. ]

[worthyness]

[it is not, so now he just...stares??]

[toesies]

... It's like you can't not talk like a lawyer at all times?

[worthyness]

Sorry? [he doesn't sound particularly sorry.] I'm not sure how else you would like me to speak.
