Anyone know who this fucking kid is?

He’s something else, I’ll give you that. I’m sure this won’t do to win him over, but I might learn something helpful.

[Don’t you talk to him about children, Barnabas. ]

[odinpusrex]

[Yeah, that's a rough topic, isn't it?]

It assuredly will not. Then again, he may like the attention. Your other charges certainly did.

[levindicated]

[Ouch. That’s still a little fresh. But he also has no reason to really fully blame Barnabas for that. As far as he as concerned, Benna wasn’t meant to attack them with lethal force. …And Clive wasn’t meant to lose control.

He swallows his feelings.]

He isn’t trying to stay unnoticed, that’s for certain. Troubled kids like to act out, though. He must have just been trying to get a rise out of me. Either that or try to piss on some territory?

[odinpusrex]

Are you hoping I will strategize with you on how to tame this boy, Cidolfus?

[levindicated]

I thought you liked that sort of thing. It’s been a while since you’ve had an unruly boy.

[odinpusrex]

Yet it is only you who holds his behavior in contempt.

[levindicated]

Just seems a bit maladaptive, is all. A boy should have hobbies, friends…

Maybe he’s got a hobby if harassing old men is one, but I doubt he’s got friends.

[odinpusrex]

A boy merely needs discipline.

[Barnabas had no friends and only discipline, and look at how he turned out!!]

[levindicated]

Is that what you think he’s got? He’s got strong opinions, at least.

[odinpusrex]

I did not say he had it.

[He just did not agree with the friends and hobby thing.]

[levindicated]

Alright, you were talking about yourself then.

No, I still think a boy needs friends.

[odinpusrex]

I was speaking of what he needs, it had naught to do with me.

A boy might need allies, but this is not what you speak of.

[levindicated]

Is that so? How would you go about his discipline, then?

[odinpusrex]

Think yourself clever, or simply me a fool? I will not assist you in bringing this boy to heel.

Though, if your mind has not fully gone to waste through your abuse of magic and dependency upon alcohol, you may recall how I tamed you.

[Though he did not tame him fully, because he did escape him, didn't he?]

[levindicated]

You tamed me? I recall impressing you instead.

Bit hard to compare a willing man to surly boy.

[odinpusrex]

Is that how you remember it? Perhaps you have taken too many blows to the skull. Or not near enough.

[levindicated]

It’s gonna be hard to remedy that. Try to fix it and you just might make it worse.

[odinpusrex]

Are you naming yourself a lost cause?

[levindicated]

Maybe, if the only tool in your kit is a hammer.

[odinpusrex]

A softer hand is what you desire, then. Think yourself worthy of it?

Stop coquetting with each other while talking about me.

[levindicated]

[Can you just let him live??? ]

[odinpusrex]

You need not read that which pertains not to you.

[brat]

Need to? No. But I am anyway.

[odinpusrex]

Then you have naught but yourself to blame.
