You've seen me. In person.

[flashystyle]

And?

[dendarii]

How many grown men have you seen that are as short as I?

[flashystyle]

There are entire civilizations of dwarves where I come from, Miles.

[dendarii]

[ Another pause at that, Miles is genuinely surprised. ]

A whole race? A fantasy sort, like elves and suchlike?

[flashystyle]

[Oh, Miles, you naïve, sophisticated newborn baby. Dorian can't help but laugh at that.]

Yes, of the fantasy sort. Elves, too. A large, horned race called qunari. Werewolves. Dragons. Demons.

[dendarii]

[ LOOK. Look. He comes from a (mostly) hard sci fi canon. This is some wild shit for him. ]

Good god.

[flashystyle]

You lot really don't have anything besides your weapons. I can't imagine how dreadfully boring it is.

[dendarii]

We get creative with our weapons, obviously.

[flashystyle]

Do you want to go camping? I can show you more than just some wisps if we spend an evening. As much as I abhor tents.

[dendarii]

...

You mean magic? More magic.

[ Sounds kind of like a pickup line, Dorian. ]

[flashystyle]

[Miles is an actual child? Please??]

You're flattering yourself, young man. Yes, more magic.

[dendarii]

[ Waaaay too fuckin young, that's for sure. Maybe if he ever catches up with Byerly. ]

I just wanted to be clear. I've no interest in men anyway.

[flashystyle]

[Even then, he'll still remember the baby face.]

I'm shocked. I had all these princes lined up for you, Miles, how could you disappoint me like this?

[dendarii]

I am disappointing. You'd do better realizing that right away.

[flashystyle]

You'd do better to be better.

[dendarii]

And what is better, in your opinion?

[flashystyle]

Less presumptuous, firstly. Less boring, more importantly.

[dendarii]

Boredom is a matter of taste.

[flashystyle]

That's an excuse for not getting out more, and I won't have it. We're going camping.

[dendarii]

Fine, fine. If you insist.
