[osreborn]

I don't see what's rude about it.

[enigmaestro]

Surprise, surprise. Norman Osborn doesn't recognize his actions as rude! Quick, take it to print!

[osreborn]

Mind your tone. I haven't delivered your precious cargo yet.

[enigmaestro]

Ah.


You're quite correct.

[osreborn]

I don't suppose I'll get to witness it in action. You know it hasn't been tested.

[enigmaestro]

I have many opinions about you, Norman Osborn. But one is that you are a highly skilled chemist.

I don't fret over your ability to concoct it correctly.

[osreborn]

That's some comfort, at least. Your unwavering faith in me.

[enigmaestro]

I have a few unwavering things to invest in you.

[osreborn]

Just what I like to hear.

Or read.

Same difference really.

[enigmaestro]

Oh, but these you would never read aloud. Isn't that right?

[osreborn]

Not with company present.

[enigmaestro]

Your significant other or your board members?

[osreborn]

Any company.

[enigmaestro]

It's almost like you're ashamed of our exchanges.

[osreborn]

Not at all. I'd rather keep them to myself.

As you would, I'm sure.

[enigmaestro]

A few of my associates marvel at our interactions.

[osreborn]

Like who?

[enigmaestro]

Like my pet apprentice.

[osreborn]

I'm barely inclined to count him.

[enigmaestro]

I don't speak that way of your pet apprentices.

[osreborn]

None of mine have required "disciplining" yet.

[enigmaestro]

Well I've had mine longer! They get uppity over time.

[osreborn]

Usually when they reach 16 or so.

[enigmaestro]

Eridan was always ahead of his contemporaries' curve.

[osreborn]

Throwing tantrums isn't much to brag about.
