*Obviously someone's New Year resolution list was lacking the "give up smoking" standard - although the evil tobacco itself is not currently lit. The captain takes up his usual place against a wall, cigar-holder in hand, right arm folded behind his back

Why would you want to sit around waiting for something forever? That's stupid. And if you don't think it'll be what you want, why would you want it anyway?

[goodform]

Oh. It's you.

*Hook's reaction is pure, affected, mocking boredom*

I would not credit you with the intelligence to know what you wanted, nor the patience to wait for anything.

[hikari_netto]

*sticks his tongue out in as rude a face as he can make* I always know what I want, and I can wait for something if there's a reason to wait. I'm just saying that if you don't have to wait, then it's stupid to wait.

[goodform]

*Twitch. Children pulling faces. It has to rate very highly on the captain's own personal anger scale of one to fission. His tone goes silken, generous in the face of stupidity*

And what if you should know, in your infinite wisdom, that what you want is to wait?

[hikari_netto]

Then that is a reason to wait. I told you, it's only stupid if there isn't a reason.

[goodform]

*The captain can feel that headache coming on again. Circular logic is wonderful if you're the one applying it. He tries to control the glower at Netto. It isn't worth wasting a good glower on the brat. Perhaps a sneer is even too much, James, calm, calm. Oh, all right. Maybe at least a minorly curled lip is called for*

And what, pray, would you consider a good reason to wait for something?

[hikari_netto]

*only grins in response to Hook's curled lip* If you're waiting for something to cook, like curry, that's a good reason! Eating something before it's done cooking doesn't taste good.

[goodform]

Yes, I can see how someone - dear me, something - half-baked might be unpalatable to those with taste.

*The shrewd blue eyes, fired dully with red at their centres, give Netto an amused look.*

[hikari_netto]

*nods sharply, totally missing the implied insult in Hook's words* Exactly! See, even you know sense where you hear it. It just takes you longer to listen.

[goodform]

*The amused look becomes more apparent. Moustache twitches as Hook fights back the smile. His tone is a purr*

Certainly I know sense when I hear it. I also make a point of listening carefully to all the sense that I hear...which is why I never pay you any mind.

[hikari_netto]

*didn't miss that one!* HEY! I make lots of sense!

[goodform]

*More purring in the voice. Cats would be jealous. There's nothing more irritating sometimes than James Hook looking exceptionally pleased with himself. He can be generous in victory, however! Netto gets a not-so-gentle pat on the head with the flat of the hook, lucky lil' fella...*

Of course. Of course. Compared to all your fellow bilge rats, you're considered a prodigy.

[hikari_netto]

*SNAP* YOU LEAVE MY FRIENDS OUT OF THIS! You're just jealous and trying to make me feel bad! *nope, doesn't feel 'lucky' at all at being headpatted by the infamous Captain Hook.*

[goodform]

*The look of distress Netto is favoured with is so sickeningly fake that hardened junk food addicts would spit it out in disgust*

Dear me. And to think I was making do with having friends who can actually read and write. My jealousy for you knows no bounds.

[hikari_netto]

*seethes and resolves to LOL Hook at the earliest opportunity* Shut up! Just... shut up! You don't know anything! *uses his teleporter to leave before Hook can say anything else. He's going to fume a lot over this when he gets home.*

[goodform]

*And left behind in the Nexus, for those unfortunate enough to witness it, is Captain Hook, head tilted back, laughing*
