"I'm more stubborn than you are, Mayfield."

Corrected. You can thank me later.

[immortal_smoke]

Call it stubbornness if you want.

[hop_toit_udonge]

I just did, actually. So, therefore, I will. And have.

[Cornelius hasn't died yet, but he's about to. Hoping to avoid Anya, Mercedes and Russia discovering his corpse, he has crawled out to the back yard, where he is breathing weakly.]

[immortal_smoke]

I hope your suffering was not inspired by my own, Cornelius.

[pooka_prince]

[Cornelius cracks open one eye, his voice hoarse and dry.]

We really must stop meeting like this.

[immortal_smoke]

We'll stop when this ordeal passes. I suspect we are both too proud to succumb to reason.

[bell_bound]

Four times? You fool. What need is there of such stubbornness? Believe me, they enjoy your suffering, and you are not making one whit of difference in your martyrdom.

[immortal_smoke]

Who said anything about making a difference? This is my own selfishness at work, no more. I value my pride more than my body.

[bell_bound]

Then you are even more foolish than I thought.

[immortal_smoke]

I simply don't have any reason to be concerned for my physical well-being, that's all.
