Goblins and elves are leagues apart.

[enigmaestro]

Are you a Tolkien fan or something?

[osreborn]

Not particularly. I'm speaking purely folklore.

[enigmaestro]

Germanic?

[osreborn]

Of course.

[enigmaestro]

What sparked your interest?

[osreborn]

Oh. Who knows.

[enigmaestro]

That always means daddy issues.



To the shrinks.

[osreborn]

Good thing you aren't one. I despise shrinks.

[enigmaestro]

I thought you loathed me?

[osreborn]

That's different.

[enigmaestro]

Because I'm powerful? And you sexualize power?

[osreborn]

You're putting words in my mouth.

[enigmaestro]

By all means! I take them back out and gladly insert something else.

[osreborn]

It'll take more than that to silence me, if that's your aim.

[enigmaestro]

I've got the length, but I suppose your mouth is pretty wide. You could talk your way around a gag.

[enigmaestro]

-- I'm sure you have, actually. Daddy issues and mentor problems in retrospect.

[osreborn]

Cheeky.

Be careful about making those assumptions. I could take my way around one or I could always bite my way through one.

[enigmaestro]

Oh, the tough guy act! I love it. As if you would try something so daring, now.

[osreborn]

Well, why don't we give it a try and see sometime?

[enigmaestro]

[Teasingly:] You're not comfortable with how things are?

[osreborn]

Would you be?

[enigmaestro]

I like what we have. I get the best of both worlds.

[osreborn]

I'm not content with your happiness.

[enigmaestro]

So? What is it you'd rather have?
