Third Floor Common Room, Friday Afternoon

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

WIth no classes today, the twins lounged in the common room. Hikaru was eatting popcorn and watching the Z FIles while Kaoru sat to the side, making what must have sounded like strange barking as he looked over his Cross Species Communications vocabulary packet.

Walter put his pen down with a hard snap and tried to remind himself again that Nadia had told him the beating would be better coming from a girl.

"I'm telling you one last time that she was not propositioning you for anything. She thinks you're slimy, and I have to agree with her." Which wasn't precisely what she'd said, but was close enough for Walter.

"Slimy? She was comparin' me to a slug or snail or some other manner of creature that crawls through the grass and likes the rain? Seems to me I might not be the only one around here who might need to work on his or her manners. If a simple misunderstandin', perfectly reasonable, should the conversation in question be reviewed, can lead to an individual being likened to some sort of invertebrate thing, then perhaps this modernified culture is not all it is cracked up to be!"

Nice try at deflection. Walter wasn't buying it. "Based on your behavior, I would prefer to keep company with a slug, and can't see where Nadia's estimation was at all off target."

[forgottenpants]

"Then why don't you just go find yourself a slug and leave us decent folk alone?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I see plenty of 'decent folk' in here. Then I see you."

[forgottenpants]

"What are you tryin' to intimate?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"You aren't smart enough to figure it out yourself?"

[forgottenpants]

"Just because I ain't from your time period does not mean I am in anyway lackin' in the department of brains!"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"You haven't shown that to be true yet. In fact, if someone were to ask me, 'What do you think of Pete Hutter?' I'd have to tell them that you're rude, slimy, and rather stupid."

Picking a fight? What makes you say that?

[forgottenpants]

"And to think I was startin' to respect you! You've had a problem with me from the first time we met, and you've given no indication of any 'manners' or intelligence yourself."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but then you started insulting my girlfriend and most of the girls in this school at the same time. I don't have to show you manners after that. You're lucky I'm not showing you my fist."

[forgottenpants]

"You wanna take this outside? And what the hell are you talkin' about, insulting? They're just women. . . ."

Pete, alas, remained a product of his culture.

Walter stood up. "Outside."

Walter was as well, even if he'd been working on updating himself.

[forgottenpants]

Pete turned his head to spit and nodded. "Right then. Let's go."

With that, he strode for the door.

Walter nodded and followed him outside (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/791558.html?view=60361734#t60361734).
