So if we're going to talk to each other, I might as well try to piss you off less, right?

Less is fine. I don't actually expect you to be nice.

And I suppose I could derive slightly less entertainment from provoking you.

Very gracious of you. [...] Any other terms for peace?

I'm not going to change either. It's an inevitability that I'll do something else that pisses you off. But [.....] I would rather be told when I've crossed the line and be given the chance to stop, than endure another two months of the silent treatment.

Yeah, that's fair. [...] I won't do that again. I

I would certainly hope not. [...] Well? What are your conditions for me?

[...] I don't like that I can't lie to you. It doesn't feel fair.

How much lying do you need to do around me? You're the most pathologically honest person I know.

There are still some things I'd rather keep to myself.

Fine. Your displeasure has been noted. Unfortunately, I can't change what my powers do any more than you can change yours.

I know. Maybe just cut me some slack sometimes. You can be very [...] intense.

Some people think that's part of my charm.

[...] Very well. Will you accept a get-out-of-jail-free card? I can't promise to not read into it if you say "I'm not answering that," but I can attempt to not turn it into an interrogation.

No comment.

[...] Okay, deal.

Oh, I already know what you think.

Wonderful. I'll draw up the peace treaty and we can both sign it in blood.

You're already teasing me again. It's been like five minutes. We haven't even signed the blood pact.

I said I'd find it less entertaining to tease you, not that I'd stop altogether. If you could see me right now, you'd know I'm utterly stonefaced about this. Not even the slightest trace of amusement.
