072// hate to say I told you so

I'd like to give the medics prior warning; I'll be bringing an injured man to Medical Island soon. Injuries include a broken arm, severe abrasions, and what I suspect will soon be some spectacular bruising

I gotta train more so's one day I can be as scary-good as you!

[felinemystique]

You've got plenty of time. And you're coming along excellently.

[pinkhairedchild]

I dunno, some jerk doesn't think so's! He said the guards must be a joke if they're letting me be one 'cause I'm like a five year old!

[felinemystique]

He has no idea what you're capable of, so he has no right to pass judgment.

[pinkhairedchild]

I told him something like that but he said not to flatter myself! I don't even know what that means!

[felinemystique]

To flatter means to say a lot of nice things about someone or something.

If someone tells you not to flatter yourself, it means they think you have too high an opinion of yourself.

[pinkhairedchild]

Oh, okee. But that don't make sense!

I don't think I do that! That jerkface was lying!

[felinemystique]

I don't think you do either. And it's not so much that he was lying as he was making assumptions without knowing all the facts, and without caring how rude he was being in the process.

[pinkhairedchild]

Well that ain't good! I don't like people making assumy-thingits 'bout me! He was real rude, too!

[felinemystique]

I don't like it either. Unfortunately, some people are just jerks, like you said.

After all, how can he know how good a fighter you are when he's never seen you fight himself?

[pinkhairedchild]

I forgot to ask his name!
