it's what he deserves...

[personal profile] oilpaint 2025-05-16 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Why not?

If you were going to be a smartass about it later anyway, you should've done something useful first.

It'd make me more likely to listen.
betenoir: (Distress)

[The last thing he wants is for this girl to listen. He wants her gone. Not that she understands why.]

Listen? You know there's no reason for me to listen to anything. I warned you to take your friends and go home. Perhaps you should listen to that.

I don't care about your stupid warnings!

This place doesn't belong to you, does it?!
( ... )
betenoir: (Unimpressed)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-05-16 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
No. But neither does it belong to YOU.
oilpaint: (pic#17852420)

[personal profile] oilpaint 2025-05-16 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but I'm not the one telling you to leave here!

Even though it'd be great if you did.


( this feels so petty. but she's feeling petty about him?? )

[ one of her texts should be "Renoir go home" ]

Life rarely gives us everything we want. And our lives give us less than most. It is better you accept the reality before your eyes before you lose yourself in fantasy.

[personal profile] oilpaint 2025-05-16 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
( and he should!!!!! )

Oh, great, turning it into a life lesson now, huh?

You really talk like a dad.
betenoir: (Callous)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-05-16 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Would it really surprise you if I were?
oilpaint: (pic#17852411)

[personal profile] oilpaint 2025-05-16 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really, you're certainly old enough for that.

For plenty of it, in fact.
betenoir: (Burden)

1/2

2/2

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-05-16 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Is she calling him a boomer?]

I suppose to a young woman like yourself any man who looks like me must be old.

[Not that she can accept what he means by that]
oilpaint: (pic#17852423)

[personal profile] oilpaint 2025-05-16 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
( i mean, let's be real — )

Well, this might be a surprise to you, but I've never seen a man as old as you before.

I can't even gauge your age.


( this COULD be an insult, but... it's just a fact? )
betenoir: (Focused)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-05-16 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ WOW ]

You're making aimless guesses. Try thinking everything through, otherwise you have no recourse. Because what if I claimed to be twenty six?

[Sneaky Renoir.]
oilpaint: (pic#17852423)

[personal profile] oilpaint 2025-05-16 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I'd obviously call your bullshit.

I've seen people who are twenty-six and you look /nothing/ like them.


( emphasis on that nothing!!!!!!!! )
betenoir: (Reverie)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-05-16 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Funny. Because he would resemble being the older relation to his son if he was as lax as that boy, growing his hair out like a peasant.

Not that he remembers the feeling of being styled by the barber. Strange.]


I look nothing like people twice their age. But that benchmark is closer to the number you are looking for.
oilpaint: (pic#17852419)

[personal profile] oilpaint 2025-05-16 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
( she does see a vague resemblance there, truth be told? but renoir is so well-kept, and verso is so... unkempt... )

I guess the "how old" doesn't actually matter that much to me right now.

I'm more interested in the "why are you that old."
betenoir: (Reflective)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-05-16 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? Have you ever heard of the saying ignorance is bliss?
oilpaint: (pic#17852416)

[personal profile] oilpaint 2025-05-17 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Never been into it.

If I'm going to die prematurely, I'd rather know why first!
betenoir: (Astonished)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-05-17 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
My apologies mean little to you. So I will offer you my condolences. Because you really have no idea, do you?
oilpaint: (pic#17852413)

[personal profile] oilpaint 2025-05-17 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Your condolences mean little to me, too.

Save any pleasantries, in fact. I'd rather just hear answers.
betenoir: (Affection)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-05-17 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
And I would rather you abandon this foolish escapade of yours.

But life seems to be refusing both of us what we desire.
oilpaint: (pic#17852412)

[personal profile] oilpaint 2025-05-17 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
But the world should adjust for the young, not for the old!
betenoir: (Default)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-05-17 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
The world should adjust for those you love.

We both know you would change the world for that man of yours.
oilpaint: (pic#17852416)

[personal profile] oilpaint 2025-05-17 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
( low blow. )

... that's irrelevant.
betenoir: (Complex)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-05-17 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
But also true.
