[ Oh, well. What a letdown. ]

My, my. You’re not much fun! What were the screaming plants for?

[ Someone sure is awful chipper for possibly being trapped in a cave forever. ]

[beatupgrass]

You asked. I told. [Yeah, Rocket is so not here for your chipperness, X'rhun. He's not for it in general, but especially not now.]

Some dude makin' weapons here in Wyver. Sounds like he's got a pretty sick set-up, if you ask me. Who puts a plant in a frickin' sword.

[verflair]

You never know. On my star, there were tales of certain items imbued with power, that a skilled enough craftsman could then make into a weapon.

[beatupgrass]

[Rocket stops short.] You live... on a star? What the hell, man?

[verflair]

[ X’rhun stops as well, if only so he doesn’t go tripping over his small companion. With a sigh and a roll of his eyes, ]

I live on a planet. We’ve just always called them stars where I come from. I only heard the other term after I arrived here.

[beatupgrass]

[Rocket tilts his head up, ears flicking, expression confused, and a little bit huffy. WHAT'S WITH THE ATTITUDE... said the guy who always has an attitude.] So what did you call the little twinkly things in the sky, then?

[verflair]

[ He gets that question a lot, okay? More than anything, he’s frustrated over not remembering the difference in vocabulary, but fifty some years of habit are hard to break. ]

Stars. We’re not terribly creative, apparently.

[beatupgrass]

[Rocket could relate to that if he weren't such a smug bastard.]

I guess I can't expect too much of a people who dress that way on purpose.

[Yes, it took him this long to comment on the clothes. What could he do? The first time they met, X'rhun was as close to naked as to be comfortable.]

[verflair]

Tsk. You are simply jealous you aren’t dressed this finely for an exciting romp through a dark cave.

[ His clothes are fantastic and there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. ]

[beatupgrass]

You look like you're goin' to a frickin' ball, princess.

[Rude. He is dressed exactly as one should be when trapped in a cave.]

[verflair]

I wonder. Is there even one aspect of my person that you do not take issue with?

[ It's probably a miracle that Rocket ended up stuck in a cave with someone so notoriously hard to offend. X'rhun isn't bothered, and instead sounds more teasing than anything. ]

[beatupgrass]

Dude, don't give yourself too much credit. I take issue with everything about everybody. Part of my charm.

[He says it so casually too... like maybe that will finally be the thing that breaks him. YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL. He is not used to this from people. Everyone's got a limit to their patience... right?]

[verflair]

[ It was a nice attempt, but X'rhun is unflappable as ever. ]

You and I have very different ideas of the definition of "charm", my friend.
