Height holds no sway over aught of importance. Not all is as it may seem.

[Easy to say for a guy with the ability to go from just over six feet to fifty...]

[rowd]

????

( what. )

[odinpusrex]

Need I write more plain?

[rowd]

if you want people to know what you're getting at
yeah

[odinpusrex]

Very well. To what end does height matter to you?

[rowd]

i'm taller

( that's literally it. )

[odinpusrex]

Is that your only claim to superiority? Fragile and meaningless as it is.

[rowd]

i think you take everything way too seriously

[odinpusrex]

I do. What did you hope to achieve?

[rowd]

honestly?
i was bored, you seemed like fun

[odinpusrex]

Disappointed?

[rowd]

you write like you belong in a victorian novel
i haven't even read any of them but i know that

[odinpusrex]

Due to a lack of interest, or capability, I wonder.

[rowd]

i feel like you're trying to insult me
which is fair
the answer is both
but also i'm not insulted by it

[odinpusrex]

Literacy is a luxury. That you prove capable of it at all is enough. Yet, your rudimentary and limited understanding likewise proves telling, and if one should find insult with such it matters precious little.

[rowd]

can you like
talk to me like i'm five

[odinpusrex]

[... Honestly, when was the last time he was around a five year old? Eleven years ago, if memory serves. But she was a genius, so...]

I do not care to insult you, as you do well enough on your own.

[rowd]

how old are you

[odinpusrex]

Forty-two.

[Seventy, actually, but that raises more questions, and he does not wish to answer them.]

[rowd]

damn
i thought you must have been like 100
i was waiting for the "back in my day we all spoke proper english with big words that sounded fancy, why are kids so stupid these days"

[odinpusrex]

A queer assumption. One I imagine is born of our differing worlds. Education is not a privilege for the masses, though the folly of youth ever seems universal.

[rowd]

not everyone goes to school or whatever where i'm from either

and no one uses "queer" like that anymore
queer is an umbrella term for not being cishet
like if you're gay or bi or ace or whatever

[odinpusrex]

I know not what you speak of.

[rowd]

at least we're on the same page now

[odinpusrex]

I would not name this the same.

Elaborate on those terms. What do they mean?
