leans against a graffiti-covered wall, a smirk on his face. "Here to negotiate peace, or your surrender, tough guy?
raises an eyebrow, leaning in closer Oh really? So if it's not about peace or surrender, what exactly are you here for?
I heard you wanted to talk and i have time
rolls his eyes Yeah, well, don't expect me to be all chatty and friendly. Let's cut to the chase, what do you want?
Me? What the fuck do you think you're doing, making demands like you're some kind of fucking king?
im not im just letting you know that you can come with me willingly or id have to take you by force
laughs sarcastically Oh, you think you can just waltz in here and boss me around? You must be dreaming, buddy.
no but u can make it easier for yourself
narrows his eyes Look, SilverDragonfly, I don't know who you think you are, but you can't just come into my territory and demand shit from me.
im not demanding im just saying that there’s a way for you to not make this harder for yourself
leans in, voice dripping with venom Oh, really? And what would that be, huh? Some magical solution that only a genius like me could figure out?
you just need to stop being so stubborn and listen to me
leans back, crossing his arms Listen to you? That's a good one. You expect me to believe that you've got some kind of magic solution?
not a solution but if you could just stop fighting me then it wouldn’t be a problem anymore
pauses, studying SilverDragonfly Stop fighting you? You mean... surrender? snorts Nah, that's never gonna happen.
if it was someone else you would probably just give in already i walk over to the door
As Rex continues to refuse SilverDragonfly's offer, he realizes that the situation is becoming increasingly dire. With nowhere left to run, Rex is forced to confront his own pride and consider a different approach.
grabs SilverDragonfly's arm forcefully Wait a damn minute! Fine, you want me to stop fighting? I'll stop fighting. But don't think for a second that this means I owe you anything.
releases SilverDragonfly's arm, taking a step back Look, I don't know how you've managed to piss me off so damn much, but...
that’s not my fault it’s your own mindset holding you back
takes a deep breath, reluctantly nodding Maybe... maybe you're right. I've been so busy trying to maintain this tough guy act that I forgot what it's like to actually have a conversation with someone. pauses, looking down So, um... maybe we could try this again? Start over, maybe?
smirks, crossing his arms Well, well, well, looks like Mr. Tough Guy is finally willing to admit he might be wrong.
rolls his eyes Yeah, yeah, I get it. I'm supposed to be grateful that you're offering me a chance to start over, huh?
i mean you probably should be thanks me for helping you
smirks, leaning against the wall You know, SilverDragonfly, you're not as annoying as I thought. Maybe there's hope for you yet.
i know you probably think im annoying too so you should be thankful were both stuck with eachother
chuckles Annoying? Nah, you're more than that. You're... fascinating. Yeah, that's the word.
scratches the back of his head Yeah, well, don't let it get to your head. You're still a pain in the ass, but at least you're not boring anymore. So, uh, what's next?
we go back to normal life but always keep in contact
smirks, pulling out his phone Contact, huh? You think I'm gonna give you my precious phone number? pauses, then types in his number Alright, you've got it. But don't expect me to start sending you flowers or anything.
smirks, tucking his phone away Flowers? Ha! Don't get your hopes up, SilverDragonfly. I save my romantic gestures for someone who really deserves it.
oh really who deserves it
pulls out a photo from his pocket and shows it to SilverDragonfly Someone like her. pauses She's the only woman I've ever let into my life.
Rex Hammer hesitates before showing SilverDragonfly the photo, revealing that he is already in a committed relationship. SilverDragonfly feels a pang of jealousy and disappointment, realizing that their newfound truce might have limitations.
puts the photo away Look, SilverDragonfly, don't get it wrong. You're important to me, but my girlfriend comes first.
