It would be heaps weirder if it was. They're old.

[skinofalizard]

If I was more optimistic, I'd point out that we will be too one day.

[julienned]

Don't get too eager.

[skinofalizard]

To be old? I'm not.

[julienned]

Maybe part of your mutation'll be that you hit a point and then your cells just regenerate a lot.

[skinofalizard]

Maybe. At the very least, I doubt scales wrinkle.

[julienned]

It's not like you need to shave either. You might have lucked out in the mutation stakes.

[skinofalizard]

I think that every time I look in the mirror.

[julienned]

If anyone's giving you shit about that, you tell one of us.

[skinofalizard]

Just me.

[julienned]

I can still punch you.

[skinofalizard]

And after you protected me from the Phoenix even though you were in a coma and everything. I'm hurt.

[julienned]

That was real?

[skinofalizard]

It was. Thanks for it, by the way.

[julienned]

No problem. Clearly I'm so much of a badass that even a coma can't keep me out.

[skinofalizard]

Or maybe my screams were so girly that you were trying to mute them.

[julienned]

Wouldn't I have put the barrier up over me, in that case?

[skinofalizard]

You were in a coma. Maybe you couldn't direct it.

[julienned]

Yes, I could, because I'm awesome.

[skinofalizard]

Yeah, well, I stood up to a mental assault from the Phoenix and then sucker punched her so maybe we both are.

[julienned]

Hell, I couldn't even do that first part. You are badass.

[skinofalizard]

Yeah, well, it wasn't really impressive, to be honest. You probably got a lot more than me.

[julienned]

[shrugs]

It was me doing it to myself too. If I'd said yes to her, then it would have stopped and I would have woken up. 'Course, if I'd said yes, 90% of this place would be dead and disintegrated.

[skinofalizard]

Fortunately for us, you're you.

[julienned]

I'm the best goddamn Julian Keller there is, and I should know as I met one. He was a miserable bastard.
