PM: Beiby >> FlynnRaider

PM: I didn't say I didn't think highly of you. I said that your reputation doesn't hold much water with me.

PM: You're telling me I'm /not/ super impressive and intimidating and totally brag worthy?

this can only go poorly

What: Siblings talk love life

Who: Flynn Fam @italianelf-sophia

Where: Settlement where Daphne and Sophia live

Notes: Katya and Bei run

Sophia: Sophia hummed as she moved around the settlement. Her new owl resting gracefully on her shoulder as she worked. Looking up hearing a noise from across the bridge, the elf lifted a brow. "Hello brother!" She called out to him. Leo: Leo watched the bridge skeptically as he crossed it. "You sure this thing's stable?" he replied in way of greeting. Sophia: "Yes, of course it's stable. Daphne and I built it with our own two hands." She reassured him. "What brings you to this part of the forest?" Sophia questioned, not like she already knew. Leo: "That's what I'm worried about." he said dryly. Stepping onto solid land gratefully, he looked around the settlement. "Just came to say hey, be annoying as all brothers should. Never visited the settlement before." Sophia: "Well, welcome to the settlement." She said with a grin. Lifting Luna from her shoulder, she watched as the owl flew back to its perch over near her front door. Running over to her brother, she jumped up to give him a hug. "Where have you been, Da Vinci? It's been awhile." Leo: He watched the owl with raised brows before he was distracted by her almost bowling him over with a hug. "Woah there. I've just been around." he said vaguely with a wave of his hand. "On this ship and that. On the water mostly." Sophia: "Just been around? That doesn't help." She pointed out with a laugh. Dropping back to the ground, Sophia tucked a curl behind her ear. "I need to come visit you on your boat one of these days." Leo: Leo rolled his eyes. "There's a lot of ocean on this floor, saccente. It's kind of hard to get more specific." He mirror her and crouched down to sit on the forest floor. "If you really want. I'm certain you'll find it overwhelmingly boring, though." translation: smart ass, know-all Sophia:  Joining him on the ground, Sophia looked over her brother. He looked well enough. "Well I mean, it's always overwhelmingly boring being with you. So, it won't be any different than being back home." She teased, moving to run a hand across the side of her neck. Leo: He blinked. "Wow. Wow. Sophia, you'd say that to your own flesh and blood?" Mid laugh, his eyes landed on her neck. And then narrowed slightly. "Speaking of flesh - what is that?" Sophia: "Oh calm down big brother. Everything I say, I say out of love." She pointed out. Lifting a brow, Sophia pulled her hand back and looked at it. "Dirty probably." She said brushing the few specks from the back of her hand. Leo: Leo rolled his eyes. "Dio, I mean your neck." Sophia: Putting her hand back there once more, Sophia looked at him before it clicked in her head. Cheeks flushing, she pulled her collar a bit tighter around her neck. "Nothing, don't worry about it." Leo: "Nothing doesn't cause that reaction." Leo pointed out. Sophia: "You're just over-reacting, honestly it's nothing Leo. Just, got a little carried away I guess." She murmured, looking down at her hands. Leo: If anything, his eyes just narrowed further. "With who." He didn't even bother to phrase it like a question. Sophia: "Even if I say, don't worry about it, you're still going to worry about it." Hugging a bit, she started to chuckle. "Would you feel better if I said it was Antonio?" Leo: Leo's nose wrinkled. "No. That's literally the worst case scenario." Sophia: Chuckling a bit, she ran a hand across the back of her neck again. "Okay, well it wasn't him, so you can feel better about that." Leo: He heaved out a sigh. "You're really not going to tell me, are you. Dio, sisters are hard." Sophia: "I'm pretty sure you don't know her anyway, so there really is no use in telling you." Leo: "Her." His voice piqued up, mildly curious. "Well, then maybe I should meet her." he carried on unperturbed. Sophia: "No, I really don't think you should." Sophia said with a frown. "It'll just end badly, I can feel it. Leo: "Why, is she not a friendly person?" Leo pushed, already worrying. Sophia: "She's not the most agreeable." She said with a shrug. "I mean, I think she's amazing." Leo: His frown deepened. "Sophia..." he cautioned. "Is this really the kind of person you want to get involved with?" Sophia: "When have I ever made good choices about who I like." She pointed out. Leo: "You're not exactly giving me any confidence here." Sophia: "Well, you're wrong." She said rather quickly. Though, after speaking with Damian on this same topic, she garnered she was wrong. "Katya is a great person, I promise." Leo: : "Awesome. If she's so great, than you shouldn't mind us meeting." He raised a brow, daring her to challenge him. Sophia: "If you get to meet her. Then I get to meet Bei." She protested. Leo: "Me and Bei aren't even dating." Leo threw back quickly. Sophia: "But you admit, there is a you and Bei in some capacity." Leo: "... In some capacity, yes. If that's the way we're phrasing it." Sophia: "So then why shouldn't I get to meet the person you're fucking?" Leo: Leo pinched the bridge of his nose. "That's a little.... crude." he muttered weakly. Sophia: "Oh, so aren't sleeping with him then? Guess you can't meet Katya." Leo: Wow. He'd love to know how this turned on him so quickly. Just minute ago he was grilling her. "Fine. Yes, I am. Happy? You can meet him if you're going to be such a hard ass about it." Sophia: "Look who you're talking to. When do I not make things difficult for you?" She teased, feeling very triumphant about her win. Leo: "It's part of the many downsides of having a sister." he sighed. Sophia: "But, one of the upsides, is you always have someone in your corner when you screw up." Leo: "Which is always..." he muttered under his breath. "So, when's the big meet and greet?" he changed the subject. Sophia: Chewing on her lip the elf shrugged. "Maybe after the next quest then?" Leo: "Next quest it is." Leo agreed, already getting excited. He could think of so many ways to embarrass her. Sophia: "This is going to go so badly isn't it." Leo: "Whaaaaat? Why ever would you say that, sister dear?" But his cheshire grin immediately threw off any soothing effect the words may have had. Sophia: "Because Ive grown up with you. And I know how you work." She huffed going to poke him in the stomach. "Remember, I know embarrassing things about you as well." Leo: "Not as embarrassing as those Antonio stories. Those are fucking gold." Sophia: "You don't talk about Antonio, I won't talk about your exes. Deal?" Leo: Leo coughed lightly. "Ex." he corrected. "Not plural." Sophia: "Well, then you keep quiet, I will to." Sophia pointed out. "Now, can we go get food? I'm hungry." Leo: Leo rolled his eyes, but started toward the town anyway. "I assume by get food you mean I buy us lunch? But fine." Sophia: "Aww Leo, how sweet of you to offer to buy me lunch." She said with a giggle. "You're the best big brother ever." Leo: "I'm your only big brother. But I'll take what I can get." Trying to look stern - and failing - he led the way back to the tavern.

PM: Beiby >> FlynnRaider

PM: How is that hurting your pride?

PM: I mean, when somebody says they don't think very highly of you, ouch. A man needs a moment.

[flynnraider-blog]

PM: Beiby >> FlynnRaider

PM: I'm merely being honest.

PM: Way to give my pride a hit.

[flynnraider-blog]

PM: Beiby >> FlynnRaider

PM: For what it's worth, that reputation is non-existant to your mythical sister and hanging on by a thread for me, so.

PM: Wow....WOW. Tell me how you really feel.

beibyblackmage:

PM: Well, sounds like it would certainly be interesting for me.

PM: That’s what I’m worried about. I have a reputation to upkeep.

PM: Why would I do that? I tend not to ask for embarrassing stories about friends. Though I do, admittedly, enjoy listening to them.

PM: Unfortunately, Sophia is also the type to offer them up. It would not go well for me.

“I was more so comparing intelligence at large than between two individuals when the argument started.” Matt arched an eyebrow before he shook his head slowly. “I have places to be. Get a leash.” He called before he turned and disappeared into the crowd.

He just shrugged. “Wow. Idiot doesn’t even know how to argue. C’mon Romulus.” He gestured for the oversized pup to trot after him.

[flynnraider-blog]

PM: And why would blackmail material even come into play?

PM: You’re telling me you wouldn’t ask for embarrassing stories?

[flynnraider-blog]

matthiasthegamedev:

“Intellectuals such as those could not be compared, but it is a safe assumption that they are within the top ten to five percentile when it comes to intelligence versus the population at large. So to compare intelligence between a person and the mass of the world, then I’d argue it is feasible.”

Leo blinked. “This entire argument was about comparing two individuals in different fields. Not the population at large. So I don’t quite see how we went off the rails here.”

italianelf-sophia:

“I’m actually five levels above you.” She pointed out with a grin. 

“You know, topino, I really don’t like the look on your face right now.”

[flynnraider-blog]

PM: Blackmail material?

PM: Childhood shenanigans. Embarrassing photos. The works.

[flynnraider-blog]

matthiasthegamedev:

“It is a rather easy assumption that Albert Einstein was smarter than the vast majority of the population, is it not? His specialty may have been mathematics but that does not diminish his overall intelligence. Though I won’t disagree with the last bit.” He smirked.

“Yes, but how do you compare someone like Socrates or Leonardo da Vinci to him and pick who’s smarter? They occupy entirely different fields. It’s just not feasible.” He shrugged. “I’m not arguing that he’s not smart. Just that comparing something that isn’t quantifiable just isn’t feasible.”

[flynnraider-blog]

PM: Why would it be a bad thing if we crossed paths?

PM: Too much enthusiasm. Too much blackmail material. It must be avoided at all costs.

[flynnraider-blog]

matthiasthegamedev:

Matt rolled his eyes. “And how would you categorize it?”

“Well, people are good at different things and different areas. It’s kind of hard if you don’t do the same thing. And you can’t even compare education levels, because some people with degrees are fucking idiots. It’s really hard to just point blank say to someone ‘I’m smarter than you.’” He paused. “Also, rude. But we already established that about you so.”

[flynnraider-blog]

PM: She'd be thrilled to hear that I don't believe she exists?

PM: That you think she’s mythical. I’m thrilled to hear you don’t believe she exists. Because that means you’ll never cross paths.
