regarding his reserve at warforged

[gravitywell]

You've got to be kidding me! What are you, a sadist?

I mean sure, I'm glad you're taking me somewhere and everything, but all that.. I'm kind of sick of fighting, you know. Haven't I earned a break? And what if the others join! We'll probably end up fighting each other and..

-- well yeah, it sounds like a pretty cool place, and there's dragons and magic and everything, but..

Isn't there somewhere, you know, a little nicer? Without any more fighting? I don't ever want to have to hurt my friends!

What, d'you think I'm stupid, or something? We wouldn't be much use to the flight if they went around freezing us all to death!













R-right?

[wilder]

[He gives a shrug]

Don't ask me! I dunno how dragon logic works.

[gravitywell]

[ S I G H S ]

Yeah, I don't even know why I even bothered asking you..

[wilder]

Watch it, Brat. I am gonna be the only other person from our worlds...!

[gravitywell]

Yeah? So?

[wilder]

[So-- good question. Frankly, Zelos is sure he'd be happier not having to deal with anyone from home again. If any of the others were around, he probably try hard not to give Genis a second thought]

[But there wasn't anyone else. And he wasn't enough of a jerk to just leave a kid alone in the middle of a warzone]

[And so, time to BS]

So...isn't there supposed to be some...same world solidarity or..whatever?

[...Okay, he tried]

[gravitywell]

[ WOW DAS SAD ZELOS... ]

Well yeah, of course!

[ because unlike you camaraderie acTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING TO HIM GOSH, even though zelos is supremely annoying genis still considers him a friend, after all that they managed to slog through, together. ]

But that doesn't mean I have to listen to you.

[wilder]

[HE'S SORRY ITS HARD TO FEEL TEAM SPIRIT AFTER THE TEAM...KILLED HIM. AND LOOTED HIS CORPSE. HE WANTS HIS MYSTIC SYMBOL BACK GENIS.]

[He hopes he's not wearing a surprised or confused face when Genis so readily agrees about solidarity. Other timelines are so weird to him with their friendship. But if there was one, it quickly vanishes for an eyeroll. Okay, still the brat.]

Whatever. Do anything too shitty and I'll rat you out to your sister.

[gravitywell]

[ dead traitors don't need no mystic symbols okay

and nope, you're safe, he's a brainy kid but he isn't always all that observant when it comes to people.. ]

You can't, if she isn't there..!

[wilder]

[r u d e]

Sure I can. I mean we gotta go home eventually right? I can wait to tell her there!

[It's a bluff, he ain't going home, but hey the kid don't know that!]

[gravitywell]

[ THE SAD TRUTH ]

That isn't fair!

[wilder]

All's fair in love and war, Squirt!

[gravitywell]

That goes both ways, you know!

[ THE PRANK WAR BEGINS ]

A-anyway.. has your mun finished their application, yet? Are you going for sure?

[wilder]

[A pfft noise] What're you gonna do? I don't have a big sister to tell.

[BRING IT. They picked the best people to represent Aselia. THE BEST]

Yeah, I'm going for sure. My application's just about done! What about you?

[gravitywell]

That isn't what I meant! Don't worry, I'll find a way to make you eat those words, mister bigshot.

[ GOD, CLEARLY.... ANYWAY.. ]

But yeah, mine too.. she's just getting stuck on the, uh .. 'samples', but after that it's all done.

[ he's. a little bit nervous.. but totally not saying so!! ]

[wilder]

About you getting me to eat my words? Oh, haha, I'm not worried at all.

[You're gonna FAAAAIL LITTLE BRO.]

Wow, really? I'm impressed. How'd she stretch "short brat" into three sizable paragrahs?

[gravitywell]

[ WE SHALL SEE, ZELOSBUTT... on the brat scale these two are pretty evenly matched wow how sad ]

Probably much more easily than your mun stretched 'shallow dingbat' into one.

[ walked right into it bro ]

[wilder]

[Yeah, he really did; he huffs.]

Ha ha, twerp.

I'll have you know I have lots of personality. You could write a book on it!

[It's called the DSM]

[gravitywell]

[ RIGHT, god ]

A pop-up book, maybe.

[wilder]

Yeah, so? Everyone loves a pop-up book!

[gravitywell]

Yeah, like three-year-olds. Petty funny, considering how bad you are with kids..

[wilder]

Really, huh?

[Wow rude the kids in his hometown love him!! Not that he'd...admit that]

Tell me, why can't I feed you to a dragon?

[gravitywell]

[ considering his kid status he feels justified in this accusation. maybe if you'd let some of that niceness show through sometime he'd feel differently!! it's hard work, leading a double life, eh. ]

Y-you wouldn't really do that! Right?

[wilder]

[Such hard work! And ew no. If he lets the niceness show it might give people the wrong impression! Like he's actually a decent guy and not the embodiment of jerkwad!]

Oh I dunno. Maybe if I could get something good outta it....!

[gravitywell]

[ that would be just the biggest shame!! everyone would surely hate him ofc. ]

.. d-don't even try it! Besides, big sis would probably eat you alive if you did, anyway!

[ which, in his book, is like x100000 scarier than dragon death tbh ]
