... Jesus. All right, since it looks like we're all gonna die anyway, I may as well do this now. I'm taking a vote - who agrees that Fear asshole is a complete dick?

Also, not that it really matters, but was anyone else in Vancouver before you ended up here? Humor me.

[Nick rolls her eyes.]

Jesus, what are you, my mother?

[No, he's already shown more care than her mother, in this single conversation.]

Of course not, I'm too young to be your mom. [there's also the slight issue with you not being a girl, lloyd.]

You don't have to be related to someone to care about them though. [for real, or lloyd would have to be related to pretty much everyone ever.]

Look, I've been taking care of myself for practically my entire life. I got it under control.

Of course you do! [did he do something to make you think he didn't believe in you, nick? he believes in you.] Dwarven vow number 4: Don't depend on others. Walk on your own two legs.

But Dwarven vow number 1 is 'let's all work together for a peaceful world.' You don't only have to settle for one or the other, you know.

[Nick rolls her eyes yet again. Can you tell she does this a lot?]

Maybe if I was a fucking dwarf, any of that would apply.

[wow that's... no one has ever used that as an excuse to ignore the vows before, lloyd's not quite sure what to do about it, honestly. give him a second, he appears to give the matter some serious thought for almost a full minute before finally coming to a decision.]

That's okay, you don't have to be a dwarf to try and live by their vows! [just look at lloyd, after all. though he had been raised with them so that might be a slightly different matter.]

Why the fuck would I wanna live by dwarf vows?

Why wouldn't you? [genuine confusion here.]

Because I'm not a fucking dwarf.

[Where is the confusion here, kid. 8|]

That's okay, I'm not one either!

[the confusion is here, nick. here.]

Then why the fuck are you talking to me about dwarves? Go marry a fucking dwarf if you like them so much.

But I don't know any dwarves other than my dad or Altessa??

Then go sign up for a dwarves dating site or something.

[instead of pointing out that he has no idea what a dating site is (there's been enough of that sort of thing in this conversation already) lloyd switches tack slightly.]

I honestly haven't thought about it.

Well, good. Now you've got something to think about while you're waiting to die. Look at your life, look at your choices.

[Nick's not bitter, YOU'RE bitter.]

[lloyd is definitely not bitter.]

Oh, I did a lot of that back when we were dealing with Mithos. I have better things to do then just wait to die.

Yeah, well. I got better things to do too, but - not a whole lot I can do about that, is there.

Of course there is! Nobody should just be waiting to die.

That's pretty much what life is, kid - waiting to die.

That's no way to live at all!

Well, fucking cry about it already! Christ. I don't make the fucking rules, OK?

But you are the one who decides how you're going to live your life.

Yeah, that's right, I am. So why are you making such a big deal about it? Mind your own business.

[lloyd opens his mouth to say... something, honestly, he's not entirely sure because he stops himself short. he's been here before. having almost identical conversations with ~~zelos~~ and he knows pushing too much too fast never helps.

he closes his mouth again, brow furrowing slightly in thought before releasing a soft breath and giving her a very gentle sort of smile.]

You're right, sorry. I guess I can get kind of riled up about this sort of thing. My name's Lloyd, it's nice to meet you.

[Well. She doesn't expect that; people don't often back down from an argument with her. It catches her off guard, gives her a moment's pause.]

Yeah. Whatever, kid. I'm Nick.
