Two questions, and neither of them have anything to do with each other.

[Oh that's fine, hello to you too, Draco. It's nice to see you sitting in front of what looks like a giant map of...the universe, perhaps. At least it's Draco's thoughts on the universe with various planets, constellations, and the like scattered across it. It should also be noted that Draco's face has a few colored lines on it from the markers, paints and ink he's using. His sleeves are rolled up to his elbows and he's still severely in need of a haircut seeing how his bangs are flopping right in his eyes. He was originally planning to go outside to test his newly leveled-up flight abilities, but with how cold it's been out and how recently he's finally shaken his flu? No. Way. In Hell.

But that's not the important part here. He's not looking at the bracelet as he addresses the city again, but rather he's continuing to etch lines and draw another red circle.]

So. Who do you think you are? And where can I find a decent telescope?

Answer to the best of your ability.

[He really, really hates that Sollux is getting under his skin.]

Tell me why you think that's not true.

[On the one hand, he's got a point. That's pretty much true for Draco Malfoy up until about the age of 16. On the other hand, Sollux is still Sollux and therefore this is still bullshit.]

Well look at you being so high and mighty. You've figured me out. Congratulations, arsehole, would you like your medal now or later? It doesn't matter. You know what I think? I think you're just mad at me because you know you and I are one in the same, but I haven't blown my chances yet. But guess what? You have. You have, and you can't accept the fact that you have so you have to take it out on the rest of us.

The disgusting part is that she'll probably still try. I don't know what the fuck she sees in you, but it makes me sick. You make me sick. I hardly see what sort of business it is of yours what I did with my life prior to showing up in Asgard. And you know why, Sollux? Because it doesn't matter. No one I knew had any sort of feelings. That's just the way the world works. Everyone in our branch of society lies and backstabs each other to get to the top. Empathy gets you nowhere in a place like home.

So really, before you go on calling me a raving douche, you might want to analyze which one of us is the bigger douche in this situation. I'm not the one that betrayed her.

I keep forgetting that trolls have their heads so far up their arse they can't even begin to see reason. Go on, Sollux, keep telling yourself that. [That's all he has to say to all of that because ouch.]
