There's been a lot going on lately, no one's arguing that. Sometimes it feels like we don't get much of a break in terms of jumping from one insane thing to the next, whether it's good or bad. I wanted to say something about that, but something else kind of came up. Something that I feel like I should really bring to your attention

Do I have to bow down if I'm still taller than you?

[adamantined]

You could always kneel.

[protects_her]

You want me on my knees, Claire?

[adamantined]

It'd make it a lot easier to kick you in the face.

[protects_her]

Does it have to be the face?

[adamantined]

It's not my fault if it's attached to the biggest thing on your body. It just stands out, like a target.

Besides, shouldn't your charming personality be able to make up for it?

[protects_her]

It can, but that doesn't mean I want to give up my face and end up looking like all the rest of you.

[adamantined]

What's that supposed to mean?

[protects_her]

It means I like being pretty.

[adamantined]

And so no one else in this place is pretty.

[protects_her]

Not as much as I am.

[adamantined]

You know, most guys don't actually want to be known as pretty.

[protects_her]

Would you rather I used a different word? I'm fine with handsome, attractive, good-looking, flawless, debonair...

[adamantined]

You can quit while you're theoretically ahead anytime.

[protects_her]

Tall?

[adamantined]

How tall are you anyway?
