Jaime's cell phone is more or less plugged riiiight into his brain, so he tends to pick up like 99% of the time! If not, however...

"Hey, Jaime here! Leave a message, and I'll get back to you ASAP."

Hey I never made any claims about being sweet!

text

[rathercommon]

Yeah, because people who claim to be sweet generally aren't. It's not about what you SAID, it's about how you ACT.

text

[khajidont]

Oh.

Well in that case thank you for the sorta compliment

text

[rathercommon]

Oh no you don't! I'm cross at you, you don't get to turn this into an 'aw thanks'!

text

[khajidont]

But you just called me sweet!

text

[rathercommon]

But not in a complimenting sort of way!

text

[khajidont]

That's my other secret superpower. The ability to take anything as a compliment

text

[rathercommon]

That seems like a curse more than anything.

text

[khajidont]

Maybe it just makes me really, really positive

text

[rathercommon]

It'd also make it so that you really, really positively endure all sorts of insults. Eurgh, no thanks. Give me the ability to take offense any day.

text

[khajidont]

Okay yeah but hear me out

People get a LOT angrier with you if you just smile at their insults. It evens out in the end

text

[rathercommon]

Ugh no they don't, they get all satisfied that you know your place.

text

[khajidont]

So you've tried it?

Besides the type of insults I was thinking about aren't exactly the know your place kind

text

[rathercommon]

Of COURSE I've tried it. That's how you SURVIVE where I'm from. Bad things happen to mouthy commoners. Not infrequently to non-mouthy ones, too.

Anyway, what were you thinking, then, 'you're stupid and smell bad'?

text

[khajidont]

Something like that! I mean you could go meaner but I was thinking more about what you look like and how you act than what you are

text

[rathercommon]

OK so your superpower is to have specific reactions to specific SORTS of insults.

Re: text

[khajidont]

I'll get back to you on that one. I need to do some more rigid testing. Maybe walk through a few dark alleys and see what kinds of responses I get

text

[rathercommon]

UGH, please don't walk through dark alleys. I really feel like you aren't equipped for dark alleys. If you've got to do that, at LEAST wait for me to come back so I can watch your back.

text

[khajidont]

[Oh! Oh, that's funny. It makes him smile.]

It was a joke!

Besides you're going to hurt my fragile ego. I can handle myself at least a LITTLE.

text

[rathercommon]

Yeah I know you CAN. You're decently tough. But that doesn't mean you WILL. You're terribly gentle.

text

[khajidont]

Oh. Well I don't really like hurting people if that's what you mean by gentle but if someone threw a punch at me I'd totally hit them back

[...and try talking to them during and/or after, but po-tay-to-, po-tah-to.]

text

[rathercommon]

Uh huh. And then as soon as they were down, you'd apologise and try to convince them that they really don't want to fight you, don't you just want to go and get milkshakes together? And understand one another?

text

[khajidont]

The important part is that they would be down first!

Besides I wouldn't ask someone out for milkshakes after beating them up. That'd just be silly

text

[rathercommon]

More of a milk-and-cookies man, are you?

text

[khajidont]

Oh ha ha

I just like to know why people have an issue with me when they do! That's not so weird. Unless it's the wanting my wallet sort of issue at which point something's gone kinda wrong with them
