did you know, you're like the third person to ask me that in the last month. [ ... that's not an answer. ]

huh? [ his attention is turned to his phone, now. conveniently. ]

& i thought i was bad at regulating my feelings. y’all got those ISSUES issues.

i’m with g.g.-two on this one. maybe it’s just cuz basically any of you could snap me like a twig, but it seems like kiiind of an issue.

what? i’m weak, i can own up to that. i’ve said it before— why d’you think i’m always beefing with gyro & not, say, uh, scrooge’s himbo chauffeur whose name i never bothered to learn?

well, that. but also because i could take a backhand from gyro without getting knocked out.

seriously, if you physically try to throw down with me & you’re AT ALL buff, i’ll probably start crying.

( his NAME is launchpad…? okay. )

... i've never heard of this guy before in my life.

who needs therapy when— no, that's it.

[ raises his hand. reluctantly. because that kid is still rude. ]
