You're a mutant, not a lizard. That's like saying Wolfsbane is a dog and Professor McCoy is ... there is no animal I can think of that looks like that.

[skinofalizard]

It's amazing how you always manage to take me seriously.

[julienned]

Every time you're sarcastic, there's always some truth in it.

[skinofalizard]

I promise the only time I call myself a lizard is if I'm taking a shortcut to describe my mutation.

[julienned]

You could go Santo's route and say your mutation is being awesome.

[skinofalizard]

That's not a mutation. I was awesome long before my X-Gene activated.

[julienned]

Modesty definitely isn't part of your mutation.

[skinofalizard]

See, and if I took the self-deprecating route, you'd have said something about that, too.

[julienned]

Now you're catching on.

[skinofalizard]

You bait me, Julian Keller.

[julienned]

I'm a master at it.

[skinofalizard]

There it is.

[julienned]

And now we have come a complete circle.

[skinofalizard]

Not until I ask if you use your TK for it.

[julienned]

No, I don't. But I have tried.

[skinofalizard]

Sorry my mutation's more awesome.

[julienned]

You tell yourself that.

[skinofalizard]

It's the only way I can sleep at night.

[julienned]

Especially given that you're not allowed to jerk off before going to sleep.

[skinofalizard]

What, did you make up a schedule for me?

[julienned]

I figured you had that in hand.

[...beat.]

[awkward.]

[skinofalizard]

Well, not anymore.

[julienned]

You still have ... hands.

I just wouldn't use them for that.

[skinofalizard]

Fortunately I have other options. I guess the tongue's good for something, after all.

[julienned]

[he gives him a sardonic thumbs up with his mangled hand. then he winces a little]

Huh.
