Good for you. [ Thumbs up and all. Totally impressed...] While you've been playing with your bigger bullies, I've been making progress here.

[heavensreader]

I wasn't playing. [Still arch and unfazed.] I was making historical discoveries. I helped send an army of ten thousand running for their lives.

[It's not even a lie.]

[darkincrement]

Your mind clearly has been. Your body has been locked away in that tiny drawer this whole time.

[heavensreader]

I couldn't have dreamed it if I was in the drawer, you camel's arse, I'd have been dead, and you don't dream then.

[darkincrement]

The nanomachines keep you alive, idiot. You're just knocked out until they can revive you.

[ Only way it makes sense. ]

Face it, you never left.

[heavensreader]

How do you know? Did you sit and watch me all this time? [She refuses to be shaken by him.]

I bet they've not named any passes after you.

[darkincrement]

Go on and ask the Admin. Everything you thought you achieved away from here never happened.

[ He doesn't need to babysit to know. ]

I don't need my name on places to prove anything. I helped uncover three new areas while you slept.

[heavensreader]

[She jerks her head back at the challenge, eyes hard and nostrils flaring. She had not slept.]

I will ask her, and you'll see. But anyway it hardly matters. I know what I did, and I know what men who are truly dangerous and great are like. You're only a petty boy.

[darkincrement]

[ He counts this as a win. ]

Whatever makes you feel better.

[heavensreader]

Oah, it does. Just as it makes you feel better to be cruel and pretend it makes you big and strong.
