So you think you can do this, do you? Oh, sure, you say you will, you'll get yourself all puffed up with hot air and high opinion, but we both know it means little in the end.

It'll take more than mere enthusiasm to keep this in line, m'dear. Don't think me as easy as mine own wee, baby brother.

Stealing his thunder is hardly even a challenge by now. Give me something more.

Oooh, intimidating~ ♥

I like that in a guy.

[cools]

Simple confidence, my lady, nothing more.

[shimuka]

It's all anybody needs to wear.

[cools]

In the most literal sense too, I do agree.

[shimuka]

Oh, you thought I was thinking figuratively. Cute.

[flirts]

Ah, if only I could join you zis time around.

[cools]

Life will be dreary without you to illuminate it, of that I can be certain.

[flirts]

I am sure you will fight other ways to, how do you say, lighten your time there.

[cools]

Pale and dull in comparison, I'll reckon, all of it.

[ but at least his wallet will rejoice ]

[crownless_king]

Oh god fucking damn it, could my life really get any worse?

[cools]

As we can see here, the obvious answer is "yes".

[crownless_king]

As we can see here, fuck my life!

You're not living with me.

[cools]

Why so hostile, baby brother? To your own dear family, no less?

[begetsvengeance]

Well on the bright side, if you get accepted you'll be stealing his thunder in a different way. Not that it will be difficult, mind you.

[cools]

I'd have more of a thrill stealing candy from a baby at this rate, and that's saying volumes. What arse does that, to begin with?

[begetsvengeance]

I think stealing candy from babies is what Travis calls a five star meal, given how poor he is.

[Like seriously, how the hell do you go broke by buying a girl a drink. Was it made out of liquid platinum or something?]

[cools]

[ There are drinks worth a few thousand big ones, but Henry sincerely doubts Travis would even be allowed into the establishments that serve such one-percenter cocktails. ]

It would account for the mean, shifty look about him, granted. To think, our own brother, a petty thief of confectioneries.

[lastascetic]

One would think it impossible to garner more attention than Travis.

[cools]

One may try, but failure is forever on the horizon. The crowds will always turn to gape at the trainwreck of the moment, after all. I accept this facet of life.

[lastascetic]

It is probably for the best. Aim too high and the fall may kill you, aim too low, and you may never get up again.

[cools]

It takes skill to find and maintain that happy balance, and more even to recognize where it is. Worry not, I've little desire for the entirety of Travis' corrosive limelight.

[dose_of_innocence]

No one like a jealous jerk Henry!

[cools]

I wouldn't call it jealousy myself. "Derision" seems a more fitting term.

[dose_of_innocence]

You wouldn't care that much if it was just contempt. It's way too obvious when you mention him first chance you get and won't leave him alone.

[cools]

Now that's a strong word, "care". Is it so much to believe that a man needs his entertainment every once in a while?
