You're all so damn stupid.

[Ashelin's tone is very pointed. Lucky for those selected few, she's holding her tongue.]

Torn, we'll have to improvise at this rate. The only time something gets done right is when we do it ourselves.

Mar damn it.

[Phoenix lifts an eyebrow.]

No qualifiers? No explanations? Just a blanket statement that applies to everyone regardless of whether you've met them or not? What brought this on, Ashelin?

[Ashelin doesn't respond right away. This should tell him something. And when she does, she's trying very hard to stay neutral.]

I'm not an idiot.

[Hmm.]

Did I ever say you were?

No.

[Uncooperative Ashelin is very uncooperative.]

Then why tell me that you're not unless you think I believe you are?

Tell me you'd rather talk about something else, Phoenix. Don't exhaust me at the start of my day unless it's going to be worth it.

Ashelin, I'm not even certain what it is we're talking about right now.

Right. That's because you're stupid. We've already covered this.

[Phoenix's eyes narrow, and now there's a hint of irritation creeping into his voice.]

There is a difference between stupid and being uninformed. On what grounds do I merit the former over the latter?

[So picture the following in Ashelin's calm voice and understand why it's so bad to hear it that way.]

I'm not just going to hand you the answer this time because if I do, this entire ship is going to hear about it and I might very well rip those ears of yours from your head.

So you want to discuss this in person? Is that it?

Reply

nottheaveragekg February 27 2010, 17:00:28 UTC
You're kidding me, right?

[She has no idea how well she can hold herself together in person. Phoenix, you're a bad man.]

No, I'm being utterly serious. I have no idea what you're going on about and do not know what you want. So I'm asking. Do you want to speak with me directly? Or should I let you stew over this and pretend that I'm not in a minefield, trying to avoid some topic when I don't even know what it is?

I'm behaving, Phoenix. Haven't you ever wanted to see me when I wasn't ready to be at your throat? You should be impressed instead of pissed.

ecopiracy February 28 2010, 03:34:41 UTC
I'd be more impressed if I didn't get the distinct impression that your civility is only a veil that's covering your anger up.

Reply

nottheaveragekg February 28 2010, 06:29:20 UTC
Right. Because you want me expressing myself with another hook to the jaw.
