Lieutenant Dwyer

Glory nodded, "Yes, I'm aware I'd be dead. What do you want, a medal? Applause, perhaps?" As he continued, Glory snorted and bit back a laugh. "My bad, Your Highness. I won't forget the very important fact that you are 6'7, not 6'6. It won't happen again." She teased, her words practically dripping with sarcasm. "Yes, I think compact is the correct word. I'm sorry it's such an incredibly long word, perhaps you need use of my dictionary? And I'm fairly certain I could've bench-pressed more than you... when you were 15... but that's not the point! You have a major ability in strength for god's sake, there's no fair contest there unless you were to go up against a damn Kraken, and even then my money's on you." Glory huffed, trying to act offended.

Glory about burst out laughing when Leo put on his British accent again, and retorted, "I am well aware, but you're forgetting something; Ol' Chuck of England is like... ancient. He belongs in a museum, if you ask me," with a smirk.

"You say that like you shy away from the slightest discomfort," Glory replied, rasing an eyebrow,"And it's really not, if you feel like you'll fall asleep the moment the hot water touches you. You ever tried to sleep standing? It takes a bit of skill, y'know. besides, then I'd have to explain a new head injury."

Leo nodded vigorously. "Yes! A medal! Applause! All of the above!" He exclaimed with a grin, then lifted his eyebrows. "Don't forget it." He said with a warning look, though it was obviously a joke. He ignored all signs of sarcasm, instead looking majorly offended at her next words. "Ouch, Dwyer. Ouch. Your discourteous manner is repulsive. I am thoroughly aggrieved at your barbaric manner, your primitive ways, and your derogatory actions. Please, spare me your BS" He ended with a growl of joking irritation, then moved on to the next insult. "When I was 15? You're just trying to guess a young enough age that you mightve been able to press within 100 pounds of me." He teased, then continued. "Even without using my major, I could easily benchpress 100 pounds more than you, any day." He scoffed, then smirked. "However, I believe you are correct about that- if only Kraken's existed for me to challenge them." Leo grinned widely, then moved on swiftly, changing gears again. "Yeesh, don't offend my poor daddio" He sniffed in a British accent, then huffed. "Slightest discomfort? Broken ribs are NOT just a DISCOMFORT!! I would show you if you weren't a female because I don't want to feel guilty for the rest of my life!" He snorted, then winced. He was over exerting his voice- the more ramped up he got, the more exaggerated his hand flailing got, which meant the more he hurt his ribs. "I can sleep standing up. I've perfected it." He grinned. "So, I have a bit of skill. You just can't beat me in anything, can you?" He asked sweetly.

Glory clapped slowly and sarcastically, before firing back, "Is that what you wanted?" Glory bit the inside of her cheek and tried to look apologetic, and also not make eye contact, knowing that if she did, any last bit of composure she had would disappear. "My humblest apologies, Your Majesty. I won't forget that you're 6'5 and very sensitive about it." When she looked back up at him, a sly grin grew across her face, before continuing, "Fair, I tend to practice sword-fighting, archery, and knife-throwing more than lifting weights, so you got me there. Though how can you be sure Krakens don't exist? Have you searched the entirety of the ocean? I'd guess you can't even swim, hence why you're hoping they aren't real." Glory paused, thinking about what he said after his Kraken comment. "Your poor daddio? I thought we'd established he was your brother. How are you gonna talk your way out of this one, Prince Charming?" She teased, then continued. "No, broken ribs hurt, I'm aware. But you act like a cold shower would kill you, next you're going to tell me you've never slept outside before." She lilted, smirking. "Oh you have, have you? I find that hard to believe, actually. And I'm sure I could beat you at quite a few things. For example, I can see in the dark perfectly fine. I can get tased and be unaffected, and I could make a mirror image of you appear next to you, and I could blind you completely and totally. But none of that matters much to you since I never once mentioned brute force." Glory could've gone on about the things you could beat him in, though admittedly none of them involved sheer strength. Just then, the waitress came back to take their orders. Glory ordered a cinnamon roll and hot chocolate, then looked at Leo waiting for his order.

Leo rolled his eyes. "Yes. Thank you so much." He was even MORE sarcastic, if even possible. At her next words, he puffed up like an infuriated pufferfish. "6'5?! How RUDE! That's- that's worse than ANYTHING I've EVER heard." He wasn't genuinely offended, but if it wasn't a joke, he totally would be. He ran a hand through his hair, quickening his brain function so he could keep up easily with the conversation. "That's it? You do realize I haven't lifted actual weights in, like, 4 days, and it only takes 5 minutes or so- I have time to practice the more important stuff, like kicking your ass." He rolled his eyes, then tensed his jaw slightly, his muscles twitching in his jaw. "Ahem, ma'am, I'm just taking a wild guess here. I really don't care if they exist or not, as I'm not interested in showing a Kraken up. You, however, I would beat any day. Now, I am an adept swimmer, so you might have to rethink your insult." He smirked, then huffed quietly. "Okay, be careful, I don't want your head to explode while I inflate your ego beyond your imagination. I know this'll come as a shock to someone as thick headed as you, but he's not ACTUALLY my brother. Don't let your eyes pop out of your head as you take the information in. Now, on that last part, I am QUITE charming, so thank you." He flashed a spectacularly charming smile, one he probably shouldn't have been able to achieve, but totally did. "Oh, you are aware? Good, I wasn't sure that information would process. A cold shower would not kill me, however it would be uncomfortable, and like most human beings- I know you don't know this, as you are obviously not human- I dislike discomfort. I will deal with it if I have to, but I avoid it if I don't. This weird thing called brains, you should Try and find them some day." He smiled sweetly, then continued. "Of course, your ego has a couple things to boast about, but even with all that, you still failed miserably to fight me and win. Three times. We will have to repeat that soon, as you seem rather overconfident. Now, I love how you use your powers in everything you say you're good at doing. Without any powers, I could probably still beat you. Did you know, I have been working on my Empathy lately? I could make you so devastated that you crumple to your knees, and it would be just like you giving up. I could conjure a tree to drop on your head and squish you. Those are some of the few things. Not to mention my two majors. Battle Tactics doesn't count for nothing, as it does not just result in increased brain function, it also does a couple other rather helpful things. Now, if that isn't enough, I'll have to take a pause, just to eat some food before I resume showing you up amazingly." He finished with a flourish, then quieted as the waitress came over, almost as if shifting into another person. His face became a rather emotionless mask, and he seemed to become much more stiff, and less relaxed. "Bagel, with strawberry cream cheese, and water." He stated simply.

(Jesus christ, laying it on thick there, Leo😭)

Lieutenant Dwyer

Glory sat, somewhat stunned, for a second before realizing what just happened. She bit back a laugh and replied, "Wh- Damn, okay. You win, I admit defeat. That was... dramatic, wow. Maybe when your ribs heal, I'll have to re-break them just to prove a point. And I'm fairly certain you wouldn't try to make me feel anything remotely negative, given past evidence." Glory quipped, grinning. It was a good thing he wasn't a mind reader, as he'd have heard her next thought; he's right about one thing, he can be charming when he wants to. Glory quickly pushed that thought out of her mind before it showed on her face.

He stepped up his game when Glory insulted his height XD)

Leo looked a little triumphant- just a little- a smile curling onto his face. "Dramatic is my game. No one can beat me at THAT. Now, I wouldn't prefer you re break my ribs, but if I can prove to you that your point won't be proven- I'm game." He grinned, then sighed woefully, knowing her words were dead true. "You got me there, mostly. I wouldn't make you feel a lot of broken bone pain- but I will win, again. Using as minimal pain inflicting methods as possible, but still." He chuckled. Now, his Empathy worked a certain way. It wasn't like an off and on switch- it was like a continuous thing, and if he put a bucket over his head it dulled, but he could still feel strong emotions. If he took the bucket off, he could feel everything. Now, most of the time, he blocked out as much as he could. However, he could feel a slight trickle of emotion from Glory, but even with his good feel, he couldn't tell exactly what it was. It was an emotion unknown to him. Well- he had never felt it from anyone else before. He was slightly confuzzled, but he didn't say anything. As the waitress brought out the food, he accepted it with a curt nod, looking a little pleased to have his blueberry bagel and strawberry cream cheese.

Glory nodded in agreement. "That's true. Add that to the list of things you're better at than me," She said, smiling. "To be honest, I'm not in the mood for any more bone-breaking. Not your bones, at least. And I'm sure you'll win again, but still, it's more fun than sitting around staring at the ceiling. Even if you use mental-pain-inflicting methods." Glory stopped there as their waitress came back with their food, and, manners be damned, Glory wolfed down her cinnamon roll without a second thought.
