From:

flawmaturge

My medicine ensures that I don't lose my mind. And that I'm not sick.

From:

droppedstitch

Keep your mind, please. Or you are even more useless.

From:

flawmaturge

I am extremely useful. So far, the challenges we have faced have not particularly catered themselves to my skill set.

I am working on that, however.

From:

droppedstitch

How?

From:

flawmaturge

Well, for one thing, I am exploring options to make my salutors a bit more physical. I have been doing research as I know there is at least one way for such a thing to be done.

Alas that of the priests on board, none of them is a rabbi.

From:

droppedstitch

Is that a religious leader?

What would making the physical do?

From:

flawmaturge

Well, they could take a knife instead of my throat for one.

From:

droppedstitch

[He always assumes his brother reads his communicator so this isn't secret, but there's no point in saying this aloud, so he switches to text.]

That has historically been my job. To take a knife. Not yours. Not for me.

Did you even understand why I was angry?

From:

flawmaturge

I have no idea and refuse to guess. Use your big boy words and I will see if it's anything like what I think it is.

From:

droppedstitch

I just told you.

I am the one who puts my life in danger. Not you.

From:

flawmaturge

Who made this rule? When did we agree to this? I didn't agree to this!

From:

droppedstitch

Don't be an idiot.

It was what I did.

From:

flawmaturge

Right. And it's not what you're doing right now.

I'm also not your brother.

So no.

From:

droppedstitch

I did it for longer than you've been alive.

Old habits.

From:

flawmaturge

That little phrase is going to get very old very quickly.

'Old habits' are old. You don't have to keep up with them.

Did you like it?

droppedstitch

Like what?

From:

flawmaturge

Being the one to take the knife all the time.

From:

droppedstitch

It's how I kept him safe.

From:

flawmaturge

Perhaps the old man should check his eyesight: I asked if you liked it.

From:

droppedstitch

I like keeping him safe.

From:

flawmaturge

So the old bones are still good at dodging.

If keeping him safe could be done without doing that, would you like doing it anyway?

From:

droppedstitch

That isn't how it works.

From:

flawmaturge

That isn't what I asked.

From:

droppedstitch

It's an absurd question.

From:

flawmaturge

It is not.

And you not being willing to answer it *is* an answer.

So for my sake, do *not* step in front of any knives.

I do not want it and neither do you.

Settled, no?
