Bit odd, isn't it, how quickly he bounces back.

audio;

[whathawksdo]

Not really. That's his entire thing, the surviving damn near anything.

audio;

[devoutish]

Including severe alcoholism?

audio;

[whathawksdo]

Hm. That's more of a state of mind than an injury, I think.

audio;

[devoutish]

But it can cause death.

audio;

[whathawksdo]

True... So, no, probably not. I mean, really, you could ask him about it. I don't think he's at all shy about how immortal he is.

audio;

[devoutish]

No, "shy" is not a word I would use to describe him. He brags about it, does he?

audio;

[whathawksdo]

Along with anything else that's humanly possible to brag about, whether you want to hear it or not.

audio;

[devoutish]

Someone's gonna knock him back down, sooner or later.

audio;

[whathawksdo]

Perhaps. Not very fond of him, I take it?

audio;

[devoutish]

Oh, no, he's all right. Yeah.

[Alfie still punched him in the stomach, but hey.]

audio;

[whathawksdo]

Huh. Kind of funny how we can think he's all right while talking about what a weirdo he is.

[ Yeah, join the club. Dorian Gray Is Okay, But We Beat Him Up Anyway. ]

audio;

[devoutish]

But he is, and he is. Yeah?

audio;

[whathawksdo]

Ha. Yeah. Guess that's all there is to say on him.

audio;

[devoutish]

Does he read up on himself? He may find us spreading gossip about him, the poor boy.

audio;

[whathawksdo]

Oh, I wouldn't be surprised if he did. I'm sure he lives on gossip alone.

audio;

[devoutish]

Dorian - if you're listening to this, fuck off.

audio;

[whathawksdo]

Careful. That might just summon him.

audio;

[devoutish]

Dorian, if I just summoned you, fuck off again.

audio;

[whathawksdo]

Well. Looks like you've lucked out this time, but I'm sure he'll appreciate the double fuck offs later.
