[foepas]

The end of the term is nigh.

[Alec draws out the pause for a moment, before he continues.]

And whatever other overdramatic bullshit phrase people like to use in lieu of admitting that you're scared that you'll fail.

Perhaps if you spent more time studying and less time talking about it, you wouldn't be so far behind that it requires cramming.

[His voice is an arrogant drawl; he's poking at people because it amuses him to do so, nothing more, nothing less.]

Just a friendly bit of advice. Maybe you can use it when you have to repeat this year again.

Comments

[arrogantalloy]

You know, you're level of drama you bring to the table when trying to start weird conversations is almost weirdly poetic.

Also makes you sound like an ass.

Again.

[foepas]

Oh no, the great Tony Stark thinks I sound like an ass.

[A snort.]

What ever should I do?

[arrogantalloy]

I'd start with being heart broken and repentant, but then again it's you.

But if I was going to suggest something, I would go with stop being an ass. I mean, that could be something to do.

[foepas]

[A small snort, and a mental shake of his head. His voice is all snide arrogance.]

Ladies first.

[arrogantalloy]

Really, hair like yours and you're going to say that to me?

[foepas]

Have you really moved on to picking on personal appearance now?

This isn't very creative.

[arrogantalloy]

You're the one who called me a lady. So really, I'm just sticking with your level.

[foepas]

Perhaps you should have taken it as a compliment.

[arrogantalloy]

I'm growing facial hair. Tell me in what world would I think being a bearded lady is a compliment?

[foepas]

I'm not sure why you would ever think a beard would be a good look on you.

[arrogantalloy]

Because my family has a long line of men who look great with facial hair. So I know that genetically, I'll look fantastic in one.


For the record, you better not be thinking about me in some lumberjack motif. I'm thinking of something more like a well maintained goatee kind of beard.

[foepas]

I can't help what pictures your words paint.

[arrogantalloy]

You're the one with the brush. So really, yeah you can.

[foepas]

Ah, you're onto me. Perhaps I just don't care.

[arrogantalloy]

Wait, you don't care about painting me? Well I guess this is crushing to my heart.

[foepas]

What a shame to be so fragile.

[arrogantalloy]

What can I say, I'm a young man with a heart that's just so gentle to these things.

[He's rolling his eyes at all this.]

[foepas]

How boldly you speak of your weakness.

[arrogantalloy]

It's a talent.

How else do you think I got Bruce to date me?

[foepas]

I honestly didn't care to think about it.

[arrogantalloy]

Worried you'll become jealous of Bruce?

[foepas]

Perhaps I just wish I were you, so I could have him.

[Please. As if.]

[arrogantalloy]

You know, I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, a lot of people wish they could be me.

And I wouldn't blame you for wanting him. I mean you can't have him. But I still don't blame you.

[foepas]

How noble.

But no thanks. I don't need someone else to validate me.
