[Brandon looks, for all intents and purposes, bored as hell.]
You know what this place really needs?
[Bit of a pause. Purely for dramatic effect, you understand. He is an actor.]
Twitter.
And if you have to ask me what that is, you're seriously dead to me. Like. Don't even try.

[... after a moment, and almost as if he's prompted by some outside force (otherwise known as his brain) he speaks again,]
I never had one either. A real job. Like. Same thing.
[He waves a hand.]
[action]
[Superhuman endurance and the world's most indefatigable personality. It's a lot easier not to get overwhelmed when next to nothing tires you out, physically or emotionally.]
But you're, like, 16. A lot of surface teenagers don't work.
[They go to school like on Welcome Back, Kotter!]
[action]
Seventeen. And I mean-- I've been in showbiz since I was, I dunno, like a toddler or something. But I've never flipped... you know, burgers.
[action]
That helps explain the attitude.
[She's actual royalty and she's not as much of a diva as you are, dude.]

[... he's actually a little hurt by her comment but like hell is he showing it because Reasons.]
[action]
And then apologize for hurting his feelings.
Brandon, you are really only screwing yourself here.]
The job. That whole [she waves one hand around] Johnny Storm vibe you've got.
[A future version of her dated Johnny, so it's a compliment. Mostly.]
[action]
[... wait she's really overprotective of Richards, does that extend to the rest of them, too?]
-- I mean, they're cool I guess. But not my crowd.
[action]
Apparently in a couple years I'm gonna date him. ...Except not anymore.
[Time travel.
Also come on Johnny Storm is a total hunk, Brandon.]
The Four have been my friends since way back. I'm pretty sure Namor asked Doc Richards to check up on me when I was living on the surface.
[action]
Time travel, huh? It's a bitch.
[But also: nbd. Because comics.
And he might be a hunk but Brandon is so far in the closet he's not even going to remotely come close to admitting it thanks.]
I thought they didn't get along? Or was that just the Sue thing?
[action]
[Moving on, 'cause who cares beyond the inconvenience, right? Nita makes a face because Namor your conduct is unbecoming.]
Uh, they've been mostly okay with each other for a while now, unless things changed while I was gone. Namor never really disliked Dr. Richards. He's just...stubborn.
[Understatement of the millennium.]
[action]
[No really. The world is complicated enough as it is.]
Namor. The first mutant. Stubborn? You don't say.
[action]
[She can do sarcasm, too.]
Re: [action]
[Namor probably wouldn't maroon her on an island for it or anything, right? Is that even a punishment to an Atlantean? What would be a punishment to an Atlantean?]
[action]
I am loyal to the throne, you know. I don't want to just give away sensitive information like that.
