How so?

[leaberator]

That long pause where you just stared, man... It's hurtful.

[nonbelligerent]

You criticize me for not hesitating, and now you criticize me for deliberating? It seems like I can't win.

[leaberator]

Nope. I'm not gonna let you win when it comes to being mean to me! That's counterproductive.

[nonbelligerent]

Haha, fair enough. I'll let you have that one.

[leaberator]

Wooooow. I think that's my first real win against ya.

[ he says, like these arguments have ever been real ]

[nonbelligerent]

That's a little sad.

[leaberator]

As my elder, you've got all the advantages, you know. Us young guys have to take the wins where we can.

[ uwu ]

[nonbelligerent]

You're still older than most of the people here, Axel.

[leaberator]

[ not when most of the teen population has been decimated!!! but he just laughs ]

Yeah, but don't tell anyone else that. I'm hoping they haven't noticed yet.

[nonbelligerent]

Hoping to be forever young?

[axel trying to blend in with the kids]

[leaberator]

[ he has a teenager problem and the first step would be admitting it ]

Sure. Who wants to get old? It's all responsibilities as far as the eyes can see.

[nonbelligerent]

Well, you're not wrong... though your life already seems to be all responsibilities.

[leaberator]

Exactly! Can you imagine how annoying it'd be if people started adding more on top of these?

[nonbelligerent]

Like what?

[leaberator]

Like making me get a real job.

[ what if he had to pay taxes, shess ]

[nonbelligerent]

Is that really likely to happen?

[leaberator]

Well, not here, obviously.

[nonbelligerent]

Then there's no issue, is there?

[leaberator]

You tryin' to say I'm already at max responsibilities in this place? [ he's laughing ] I don't know if that's a relief or a nightmare.

[nonbelligerent]

Well, at the very least, no one has any expectations. [a beat.] Which I mean in a nice way.

[leaberator]

[ :T ]

That you had to specify means you knew exactly what that sounded like. [ a beat ] I'd be mad, but that's the way I like things.

[nonbelligerent]

Having an excuse to slack off?

[leaberator]

Yes.

[ absolutely. ]

[nonbelligerent]

I'm almost envious.
