Apparently, in some countries, in some worlds, blonds are considered dumb! [ He smiles like there's some private punchline, not like he's the butt of the joke. ] I just thought I'd share.

Anyway— [ he makes a circling gesture with his left hand ] people like to use this thing to ask questions, right? This is one you'll like. [ By "you" he means the Initiative, which he is sure is always watching. Well, maybe not always but enough that you can't count on them not. ] I want to practice my fencing.

I guess that's not a question though, is it? [ He squints. ] Okay, how's this: I'm looking for a sparring partner. No, still not a question. Hmmm. [ Tapping a finger. ] Anyone up for a match?

I can't promise I'm anything but out of practice, but… that's the whole point of practice.

And I hope everyone's recovered from that out of body experience. Like I was saying before, It's a tricky thing to fight when you don't know which is your swordhand.

wait that first tag is supposed to be all the redheads he knows are annoying WHOOPS SWITCHED......

Too many is too many to count! Obviously. And if you want to count by how irritating they are, it becomes even more.

There, there, Oz. You don't have to make up an excuse for it if you're too blond to count high enough. It's completely normal.

[velveteened]

You're in a good mood today.

( he doesn't exactly say as opposed to what, but if nothing else he expects a switch with collette to have been an especially jarring experience. )

[ It wasn't so bad once he learned how to morph! Though the rest of the time...

Better bury the rest under a load of humor. Who asks "how are you" when you seem like you're having a grand old time? ]

What can I say? Discussing the undeniable truths of the universe always puts me in the best of moods.

[velveteened]

Really? I should try that the next time you're feeling grumpy!

( which is, you know, always. )

[commentboxtroll]

Too bad you're too blond to really discuss those, though. You'll never get any of them right.

[ hey come on, he isn't grumpy right now, you've got to give him that. ]

[velveteened]

( it's tempting to retort with the significance of the classical vessalius appearance, but that's not very conducive to the image of being an oh so normal boy with nothing special about him. )

I'm sure there are some things I know more about than you do.

[commentboxtroll]

[ He's really just being a big jerk right now, anyway, so there's no point in taking it seriously. ]

Well yeah, everyone knows at least one thing better than someone else.

[velveteened]

( yes but his vanity )

Somehow, I wasn't expecting you to admit that so easily.

[commentboxtroll]

Even I can't deny a reality like that.

[velveteened]

( that makes him laugh )

So even you have your limits!

[commentboxtroll]

Only when picking on you gets tiring.

[ And he yawns. Oh so tiring. ]

[velveteened]

How mean! ( sulksulk ) And even after I come to check on you and everything!

[commentboxtroll]

Liar. You came in here to complain at me.

[velveteened]

I can multitask!

[commentboxtroll]

Now, now, you're too blond for that, remember?

[velveteened]

You're still going on about that?
