[Nita's at an anonymous cafe console, chin propped on one hand with a cup of something steaming at her elbow.]

Something occurred to me during all that rioting. A lot of us are from civilizations that don't really do sword fighting anymore, right? But that and arrows are pretty much all they've got here. If anyone wants to learn how to use a sword--or a knife or a staff or whatever--I can teach you. I come from a civilization that still does a lot of sword fighting.

[That sounds more dry than boastful. Atlanteans are warlike douchebags who enjoy a bit of stabbing each other over disputes, and that's not Nita's scene. She pauses for a second before giving fair warning:]

But, uh, it's hard to learn? Not like with guns. You're going to have to practice a lot to get tolerable, never mind good. So don't say I didn't warn you.

Eugh!

[OH MY GOD NO WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO HIM he turns away from the screen with a hand in front of his face in what is obviously horror.

stupid sexy fishdude and Brandon's own overactive imagination.]

[Namor has no use for your tedious surface social conventions like "modesty."]

You are such a surface dweller.

At least I don't get frisky with dolphins!

[dat comeback, tho...]

[Nita just gives him the skeptical "you fail bro" look for a second.]

What.

[STARE BACK...]

I am pretty sure that is the literal worst comeback in history.

Somehow I doubt that. I mean. Have you met Hawkeye?

I've seen him around? I team up with the Four more than the Avengers.

[Superhero team nepotism.]

Well, the Avengers are squares. Can't really blame you there.

Yeah, those grapes were probably sour.

... Huh?

[WHAT IS THAT LINGO THO...]

Aesop's fables?

[Why does the person raised in Atlantis know more about this than the surfacer does?]

What did you just call me?

[NOT SURE IF INSULT...?]

[ACTUAL FACEPALM]

So a fox is walking along and sees some grapes hanging from a branch out of his reach. He jumps and he jumps but he just can't get high enough. Eventually he gives up and leaves, saying "Who needs grapes? They were probably sour, anyway."

[The point, motherfucker. DO YOU GET IT?]

... So... he's saying they're sour because he can't have them?

[Is he following along yet...]

Thereya go.

[Waiting for point to make contact...]

[wait for it.]

... So wait, what was the point of that then?

[Nevermind.]

[She looks at the screen in line-faced disbelief for a moment before dissolving into laughter.]

Blue blazes, you can't be for real.

[STARING...]

I'm pretty real from where I'm standing, babe.

[wait. no. wrong word. augh. help.]

[Can't help, too busy cracking up at the "oh shit" look on your face.]

[HIS LIFE IS PAIN.]

You know what happened to the last guy who called me "babe?"

[She slept with him, 'cause it was Rich.

She's also not managing to come off as particularly threatening here, since she still laughing too much.]

OhmygodIdon'twanttoknow.

[This is blurted out at like, Mach speedster.]

[She is attempting to make a threatening grimace into the camera and failing miserably because she keeps giggling.]

[HEAD IN HANDS]

I hate you.
