I never liked that movie.

So far, I have one marked present and kicking. Head count?

Can't we just raise our hands instead?

[unkindnessof]

Do you have one to raise?

[favored_son]

Thought I might borrow D's.

[unkindnessof]

Right. So, you're both alright then?

[favored_son]

About to go deaf from all the scolding, but yeah. You?

[unkindnessof]

I'm alright; could use a cup of hot chocolate though.

Scolding?

[favored_son]

Bet someone could make a fortune off of hot chocolate today.

His mother told him to get in a boat. He didn't.

[unkindnessof]

No kidding. I'm surprised no one's gotten to it yet.

Didn't or couldn't?

[favored_son]

Give it time.

Sort of avoided it until he didn't have the option.

[unkindnessof]

By then I'll have gotten to it myself.

Ah. But you both made it out okay.

[favored_son]

Don't let anyone stop you.

Sure. We're mostly immortal anyway.

[unkindnessof]

Never. I'll save a cup for you... if you can drink.

"Mostly immortal" just means that you're not really. Maybe that's why she was worried.

[favored_son]

Kid, I can eat fire. Hot chocolate's not a problem.

Yeah, yeah. Try telling that to D.

[unkindnessof]

How was I supposed to know that?

I have a feeling I'd be wasting my time.

[favored_son]

Well, now you do. I eat earth, water and air, too.

What, just because he never listens to me or his relatives or his clients or his enemies about that pesky lack of invulnerability?

[unkindnessof]

I feel honoured and enlightened.

That might be why. And he reminds me of someone else who hardly ever listens and he's not anywhere near "almost immortal".
