I think they're charming.

[He smiles and gestures.]

The stupid noises they make, the silly way they wiggle their tails as they dive, the general... absurdity of a duck. What isn't to enjoy?

But I suppose you are more a man of action.

Re: 316

[devilmightcare]

You got that right!

[ he cannot be given a single moment to be introspective!! ]

Re: 316

[temperedinpride]

Well then.

[He stands, picking up his thermos.]

Walk with an old man.

Re: 316

[devilmightcare]

I dunno if you can call yourself old with that face.

[ he'll move to stand too I guess ]

Re: 316

[temperedinpride]

You haven't even seen my face. I could be covered in wrinkles with a very youthful mouth and chin you know.

[He'll amble along.]

Re: 316

[devilmightcare]

Uh-huh. Wanna prove that?

Re: 316

[temperedinpride]

Not particularly. Why, are you that interested in my face?

Re: 316

[devilmightcare]

Can't help it when you hide it!

Re: 316

[temperedinpride]

Ah. The allure of forbidden fruit. And what about you? How many go after your carefully guarded heart?

Re: 316

[devilmightcare]

A lot. I'm a popular guy!

Re: 316

[temperedinpride]

And how many succeed?

Re: 316

[devilmightcare]

Where's the fun if there's no challenge?

Re: 316

[temperedinpride]

Would that be zero? At least my face is more accessible.

Re: 316

[devilmightcare]

I'd call that "none of your business".

Re: 316

[temperedinpride]

I'm right, aren't I?

[He stops, turning to regard Dante thoughtfully. Then turns and heads in a different direction, expecting him to follow.]

Re: 316

[devilmightcare]

[ ... gives him a Look before turning to follow ]

I thought this wasn't going to be therapy time?

Re: 316

[temperedinpride]

I've changed my mind. And you're still walking with me.

Re: 316

[devilmightcare]

We could go back to throwin' bread at ducks!

Re: 316

[temperedinpride]

Now you're interested? It's far too late for that, Dante!

Re: 316

[devilmightcare]

What, they all fly away?

Re: 316

[temperedinpride]

No. My interest has simply shifted.

Much as I would like not to like you it is hard for me to ignore someone so guarded and lonely.

Re: 316

[devilmightcare]

You know you can't take over my body here, right?

Re: 316

[temperedinpride]

Is that where you think my interest lies? That would make kissing your brother rather awkward.

Re: 316

[devilmightcare]

-- hey, if you take me over, no kissin' allowed!

Re: 316

[temperedinpride]

How would you stop me?

[He's just, laughing.]
