[ Harold's a little sensitive to the word irrelevant, in that he thinks anything classified irrelevant is probably very relevant indeed. He deliberately responds to this show of ego with absolute, honest humility as a disarming tactic. ]

You're far ahead of me, then. I'm not at all certain I'm capable. I'll just have to find out as we go.

[brat]

You're new. Your ignorance is to be expected. And given where your priorities lie, your inadequacy is far from surprising.

[ornithologist]

Well, you've educated me on several things so far. Perhaps there's hope for me yet to become sufficiently mistrustful and battle-ready.

[brat]

I understand you intended to be sarcastic, but you should be sufficiently mistrustful and battle-ready regardless.

[ornithologist]

That's a great relief, because if you didn't I'd have to curb my sarcasm out of courtesy.

I think I'm sufficiently mistrustful already, but I'll have to decline on being battle-ready. It's a bit late for that.

[brat]

It's only too late if you're dead.

[ornithologist]

[ He resists the urge to point out that he's legally dead-- ]

Let me rephrase: I'm set in my ways and disinclined to take external opinions. Much like yourself.

[brat]

You've misjudged me, but I won't hold it against you.

And when your blood falls, I will be sure to inform the masses it was due to your own inability to adjust to your surroundings.

[ornithologist]

Please don't. I'd like to die without fanfare if at all possible.

[brat]

You won't stay dead, here.

[ornithologist]

Yes, it's rather horrifying.

Nonetheless, my point stands.

[brat]

I'll be sure your passing is acknowledged loudly with as much fanfare as possible.

Here lies the corpse of Finch, who refused to learn how to better defend himself.
