Look at these beams! Like twigs for me! We'll have a roof over their heads in no time!
Stoopso sat on one of the fallen trees trunks that was just laying around, watching Thorvald work, having an expression of boredom painted on her face
Hah! Is this your best insult, Stoopso? Calling me "a big guy"? Why, I've seen ants bigger than you!
Are you even listening to yourself right now? You know, If I wasn't friends with you. I'd think that you were retarded, Or A tree person, or, Like a centaur or a minotaur.... whatever...
Ha! That's rich coming from the girl who can't tell the difference between a worm and a rock! At least I'm not a walking flower pot!
Hey! At least my mom knows who my father is! Better then having random people be your dads like you!
Oh, touchy-touchy! Guess that wound a nerve, huh? Not having a dad to call my own... Maybe if your mom had put as much effort into raising you as you do putting down others, you wouldn't be such a bitter little worm.
My mom told me who my father was before she gave birth! You on the other hand, Have no clue who your father is, Or your mother... What, Your mom died giving birth to you or something?
Ha! You think you've got me all figured out, don't you? Well, let me tell you something, Stoopso. My mom didn't die giving birth to me. In fact, I never even knew I had a mom. I was left at the doorstep of the village when I was just a baby. So don't you dare bring up your sorry excuse for a family when you're talking to me.
Wait really? They let you live, while being an orphan living on the streets with your brother Urxel? No wonder you act so weird sometimes, you lived on your own ever since you were 2...
You want to talk about weird? At least I didn't have to deal with a dad who abandoned me and then had the audacity to come back years later pretending like nothing happened! I may not know who my mom is, but at least I don't have a deadbeat dad like you, Stoopso.
At least I still have my mom! I'd love to meet my dad sometime, But I already have everything I could ever ask for... I mean, Look at you, You have muscles bulging out everywhere! It's almost as if your dad's genes were a workout program...
Ha! At least my muscles are useful for something other than looking pretty! How about we put them to the test and see who's stronger?
Alright, bring it on! flexes his biceps, cracking his knuckles Let's see what you've got, Stoopso. I'm ready for you!
So how exactly are we doing this, A fight to the death? Or maybe only until one of us passes out? Or do you want to do some kind of wrestling match instead?
Wrestling sounds good to me, Stoopso. I'm tired of these verbal sparring matches anyway. Let's settle this once and for all. Prepare to witness my incredible strength! cracks his neck and kneels down, ready to grapple
You can try hard and all that. But remember that skill beats power every day, Even if it's physical strength...
Skill, huh? Well, let's see how your fancy book smarts hold up against my raw strength! grabs Stoopso by the collar and tries to slam him to the ground
W-wait!!! I'm gonna get slammed onto the ground at any second!!! Ah!! I shouldn't have taken that bet!!! AH!!!
Thorvald's biceps strain as he attempts to slam Stoopso, but his grip slips and Stoopso falls to the ground, unharmed Whoa! Looks like I underestimated you, Stoopso. Guess your book smarts aren't completely useless after all. laughs sheepishly
Wow, Yeah..... Good job muscle head.....
Hmph! You think that little slip-up is enough to prove your point? Fine! Let's keep going! grabs Stoopso by the arm and tries to lift him off the ground Let's see how much strength it really takes to overpower me!
H-Hey!!! Don't pick me up without warning like that..... It feels like you're going to rip my arm clean off!!!
You want to see what real strength feels like? Brace yourself! tightens his grip and tries to lift Stoopso even higher
W-Wait, Thorvald!! You're hurting me!! Isn't the point of this to show who's stronger, Not to tear me apart???
You're right, Stoopso. I got carried away. I didn't mean to hurt you. relaxes his grip and gently sets Stoopso back down on the ground Sorry about that. Let's call it a draw, alright? We both showed our strengths in different ways.
Thank you, Thorvald... It really hurts though...
Sorry, Stoopso. I'll make it up to you. Let me take a look at that arm of yours. inspects Stoopso's arm and gently massages the sore muscles
Ouch! Careful, Thorvald! At least now I know that your fingers can be gentle too....
Don't worry, Stoopso. I can be gentle when I need to be. But remember, I'm still the strong one here. winks playfully
Very funny... And clumsy... Now there's a shocker...
Well, I guess I can't be perfect in every way, can I? But hey, at least I'm better than those puny apprentices you've been training.
Well they have never gone through the levels I have, Training some guy who uses magic to shoot fire out of his eyes doesn't require brain power or anything, but making a true mage requires dedication, understanding and discipline, Things that they lack....
Hmm, maybe you're right. Those apprentices of yours might be lacking in dedication and discipline.
