You should stop cringing, mun. One of my cousins nearly got his face stuck in that exact same expression for a week! It wasn't a particular attractive look for him, you know.

Getting a shot wasn't nearly as dreadful as I thought it would be. I barely felt a thing.

[Hindsight is easy, for hindsight makes everything less worse than it was, anticipation its opposite, making everything far more serious and terrible. Although to add insult to injury, there was no bribe involved to even suffer one's first shot ever.]

[squirrelhunter]

Hell, you got shot?

...An' ya barely felt a thing?

[iorhael]

My first, yes. It was just a pinch.

[he's not going to talk about how he watched the entire thing, white knuckled and wide-eyed.]

[squirrelhunter]

I call bullshit.

[iorhael]

And I'd have to call you rude. Hobbits are surprisingly hardy people, or so Gandalf seems fond of saying.

[So Daryl, how was your first shot?]

[squirrelhunter]

Gettin' shots fuckin' hurt. Could be the hardest sonuvvabitch out there, an' they still would think they hurt.

[Nope. Not telling. B|]

[iorhael]

Yes, well. It hurt, of course it did, but only a little. It was like Miss Chapel said, and that was "just a pinch".

[Of course it hurt!]

Your experience, I take it, wasn't the same?

[squirrelhunter]

I doubt that.

[He hit on the nurse.]

Maybe the bitch who did mine didn't like me.

[iorhael]

Maybe it was because you referred to her as such. Have you tried being less vulgar?

[squirrelhunter]

Hell, I didn't say it to her face. I ain't stupid.

[iorhael]

If you had that very same look on your face the entire time, I don't think she needed any word at all to get the message!

[squirrelhunter]

...Smart ass.

An' yer the one callin' me rude?

[iorhael]

[getting smart with you, who, him? Never!]

The facts speak for themselves.

[it's said very sagely. Frodo's eyes twinkle with barely concealed humor]

[squirrelhunter]

Yeah? Well maybe ya oughta get ya damn facts straight before ya go 'round accusin' people.

[iorhael]

This coming from the Man who just referred to the poor nurse as a "bitch", even in passing. Manners, Master Dixon; you will find life much easier if you have them.

[squirrelhunter]

I got manners.

[Instantly defensive.]

I jus' don't think people who intetionally hurt others deserve 'em.
