I was just asking, you didn't have to answer. I just would like to be able to get to work and back without having to worry about my car or my stuff or myself. Well, worry is a strong word, I'm more pissed off than worried or concerned.

If it wasn't for my brother, I would have challenged him to another round by now.

[horriblecat]

If it wasn't for my sister I'd not be stealing things from you, but she matters to me rather more than anything you'd threaten.

No offence.

[munkustrap]

None taken. If you have to keep her safe, you have to keep her safe. I'd rather fill in some annoying forms than see her hurt. I just would rather have my stuff and you both safe.

I could protect you, you know?

[horriblecat]

We don't need protection. We can take care of each other, we always have.

I don't trust you to do it, you have to learn to worry about yourself first. At least we know when to run and no one ever catches up to us.

[munkustrap]

I believe it's my job to put myself in danger, I have to protect everyone else. I can take the pain, I can survive. I have to make sure everyone else is fine.

I can hide well, I chose not to. I don't fear that bastard.

[horriblecat]

Because you don't know him as I do.

I like diamonds too, for the record.

[munkustrap]

Creepy violent asshole. With a weird sexual manner I don't approve of. But I know plenty, my girlfriend sang a whole song about him. Very educational.

I'm not getting either of you diamonds. Lower your expectations to like a snow globe.

[horriblecat]

Really not the same as witnessing. And even further from experiencing.

Why would I lower my expectations? That's already what I'm getting, might as well aspire. I'm not scared of heights.

[munkustrap]

We've met, we've fought, I know him quite well. And I know he's a petty annoying bastard I would really love to destroy. But I can't, I must be 'better'.

I would lower them, I don't even know if I'll remember presents. I want to be more sober but my brother will have other ideas.

[horriblecat]

You couldn't destroy him. I don't care who's better, I just know that he is worse.

Your brother does give good gifts sometimes.

[munkustrap]

I'm ignoring him the best I can but I won't always be able to. Worse or not, it's inevitable we'll fight again. I just have to keep as many people out of it as possible.

Eh, I usually get the strangest gifts from him but then, we're usually both very drunk on or around my birthday so it makes sense.

[horriblecat]

You can't keep me out.

Rumpleteazer just starts hanging off him when he's near a jewelery store. I'm not quite positive how she does it either. I doubt it would work for me, I don't have that effect on people.

[munkustrap]

I can always try. Naive, I know, but I can try.

No, you're not quite as adorable as your sister. She tends to persuade people to do a lot of things. It's that sad look she has, it's hard to resist.

[horriblecat]

I don't know how you can be so old and so naive. No offence.

I've never been adorable, I have more the sort of face that inspires punching, so I got better at ducking than begging.

[munkustrap]

I suppose it's less being naive and more being hopeful. I want to believe that I can fix the problem and no one will get hurt.

I've never punched you. Gently whacked the back of your head but often you do earn it. I wouldn't ever really hurt you, seems pointless to punch you, you'd never learn your lesson anyway.

[horriblecat]

In my experience I always get hurt.

Sure, but that's why I'm stealing from you and reporting to him.

[munkustrap]

Let me protect you and your sister, I know I could keep you both safe if you let me.

Good point. So you did steal my briefcase? I knew it.

[horriblecat]

I can keep my sister safe myself, thank you very much.

I don't have any briefcase. I much prefer stealing shiny things. Could you start having more shiny things?

[munkustrap]

I'm sure but if you ever need my help, I will help you regardless of the issue.

No. And are you the bastard that took my watch? That was proper silver, it's very expensive!

[horriblecat]

You will try. But don't worry, I won't ask for it.

If I was, why would I admit to it? You would be a horrible policeman. But then, so are most policemen.

[munkustrap]

I know you think I'm useless but I can help. I'm not that weak.

I would just like to know where it is. I'd offer to pay the price for it off whoever has it. It's very valuable to me.

[horriblecat]

You're nice. Weakness isn't the issue.

I know nothing. It's always healthier not to know things. I know nothing and it wasn't me.

[munkustrap]

I'm not half as nice as I pretend to be.

I know, I know. It's just a shame, scuffs and marks and all, I'd rather have that one than buy a replacement. I don't like to lose gifts.

[horriblecat]

I've never seen you beat anyone to death.

Not that I've ever seen anything like that. I don't see things and what I see I don't remember and what I remember I don't tell anyone.

[munkustrap]

Give me half a chance with Macavity, I would love to beat him down.

Whatever keeps you alive I suppose. I'll just buy a new watch. A cheap one no one will want to steal, maybe something ugly, clunky and fake gold.
