1st Frost -- Video

[Okay. He's been here less than two weeks, and this has started to happen already. He is fed up. Can he never escape this treatment?

[Behind him is a rather impressive pile of sweets and whatever useless toys the locals have managed to shove at him. And he looks distinctly annoyed at the lot of it.]

I know the locals can't see this, but allow me to point out something important. I. Am not. A child.

[Another irritated glance at his little hoarde.] If anyone actually wants any of this garbage, they're welcome to it.

[He really doesn't like that singsong quality the the words. It's annoying. And just . . . Tch.]

I'm aware.

Even sooooo~

Most ladies would take it as a compliment, being mistaken for someone much younger.

[Well, that's not something he gets often. Damn it, his voice isn't even very high.] I'm not a woman.

[maddeninghatter]

[ Eh? But he sounds like an old woman--!

Ah well. Regroup! ]

Are you suuuuuuure~?

[ Via annoyingness. ]

[What the hell is wrong with this person?]

I would know better than you.

[maddeninghatter]

[ Sounds like a woman, but isn't. Claims to be sixty-seven, but doesn't look it. Dot... dot... dot...

--CONNECT. ]

So you've stopped aging, I take it?

Video:

[icy_heavens]

[Eyebrow goes up.] No. It just happens slowly.

Video:

[maddeninghatter]

Oh, I see!

So you'll be looking forward to puberty at the ripe old age of one hundred and three?

Video:

[icy_heavens]

[Just . . . You know what? No. He's not going to keep going on like this. Flattest flat look of flatness. And his tone pretty much matches it.]

Is there a point to you asking all these questions?

[maddeninghatter]

You're the one going 'round insisting you're an adult.

[ And now it's time for Emily to interject: ]

WHAT'S THE POINT OF BEING GROWN UP, IF YOU CAN'T BE CHILDISH SOMETIMES?

Video:

[icy_heavens]

Which I am, regardless of what appearances make people think.

[He doesn't know what the hell to do about Emily except blink briefly and go back to scowling.]

[maddeninghatter]

[ Giggling into his over-long sleeves: ]

I~ don't~ think~ so~♪

[icy_heavens]

[You have destroyed your chances of getting candy from him. Even though he hates it and has a ton.]

Then you think wrong.

Video:

[maddeninghatter]

It's only kids who want to be all grown up.

[ Wryly: ]

Old men long for their misspent youth.

Video:

[icy_heavens]

There's a significant middle ground between "kid" and "old man."

[He does not deny being young. He just denies being that young.]

Video:

[maddeninghatter]

Well, that's true enough. The "serious young man."

[ His expression flickers for just a moment; and then he's back to grinning. ]

He's the most childish of all, I think.

Video:

[icy_heavens]

[Teeth clenching, here. Don't yell, don't yell, don't yell. It's probably what he wants.]

Are you done yet?

Video:

[maddeninghatter]

[ He's just giving some friendly advice. In a manner that's so annoying that you won't possibly listen to it. It's sort of his specialty.

He appears to consider the question. ]

Are you going to eat that?

Video:

[icy_heavens]

[It does not take a special talent to give him advice he won't listen to. You are not special.]

No. [Ah, he sees what's going on now.] And neither are you.

[maddeninghatter]

Sheeeeesh~!

Kids these days!
