“It’s banter! It’s fun! Relax, my Slob Dragon, you’re fine! You can do that to us too!” You try to alleviate the tension.
“...I’d rather not.” It took a lot out of Suan De to not lash out.
“You’ve done it before, don’t think I don’t remember. Look, call me something that offends me.” You’re ready to receive any verbal jab to the face.
“So it was all you…” Suan De sighs as she puts her hand on her temple. She’s received her answer.
“Suan De, c’mon, give me your best shot.” You’re ready!
“I’d rather smack you in the face.” Suan De says it with less venom than you expected.
“No can do. Just words or I’ll dodge, and you know how good I am at it.” You wiggle your eyebrows.
“I need to remind you that you were fortunate that your lucky strike left me stunned. Now I’m in full control of my capabilities, if I try again, it’s going to be much different.” The prideful lady with not much to be proud of retorts.
“We’re not going to find out, Slob Dragon. You said you wouldn’t hurt me, so keep your word, please.” You shrug. “But you can throw insults my way instead.”
“I don’t know you enough to make this work.” Suan De doesn’t see the point.
“You know some things, Suan De, you’re observant.” You won’t be tricked.
“Are you a masochist?” Suan De doesn’t get you.
“Look who’s talking.” You raise an eyebrow.
“Running your mouth without giving your words a second thought doesn’t make you witty, merely annoying.” The Slapped Dragon isn’t amused.
“Is this your warm-up?” You chuckle.
“Please! I cannot engage in something so childish!” Suan De is not going to humor you any longer.
“But goofy masks, codenames, and edgy talk is fine?” You point out.
“There’s nothing goofy about my real identity.” Suan De snarls.
“Yours? C’mon, Suan De, it’s time for you to create your own persona.” You cross your arms. “Besides, you didn’t get the approval of Master Spice, so better start moving on.”
“I’m the only one left protecting the legacy.” The Spy Dragon won’t back down.
“Again with this? The old man was very clear on saying that you were staining it with your actions.” You remind her. “Create your own legacy, I know you can.”
“You patronizing man, don’t pretend to know me.” Suan De is getting angrier. “What you saw out there during our encounter wasn’t my full potential. I made error after error, one after the other, and now you tell me that you believe in my potential? You’re a joke. A joke surrounded by people desperate for any type of validation you can give them. But I don’t need it. I’m no immature child.”
