[foundafamily]

[He sighs, part frustration, part trying to buy time to think of a rebuttal.]

Me livin' longer doesn't make impossible things more likely.

[cursedtolive]

Nothing's impossible, Firo!

Nothing.

[foundafamily]

It sure does seem like it's impossible to shut you up.

[Moving to personal attacks because you can't win the argument? That's low, Firo!]

[cursedtolive]

Well of course, there's so much to argue in an argument against you!

[foundafamily]

[He huffs and walks farther along the shelves.]

And what the hell does that mean?

[cursedtolive]

It means there are a lot of holes in your logic.

[foundafamily]

Holes?

[He frowns, finding himself offended by that.]

I think you're just reachin'. It's not like you're that much better.

["I know you are, but what am I?!" is totally the best argument.]

[cursedtolive]

Oh yeah?

Like how so?

[foundafamily]

Because...

[And here Firo realizes he knows next to nothing about arguments beyond shouting at people and threatening them.]

...W-well, because you've just been insultin' my argument!

[cursedtolive]

I was pointing out the holes in your arguments and that's not insulting it!

[foundafamily]

It is too! And people only do that when they don't have a leg to stand on!

[cursedtolive]

So what are you doing now?

[foundafamily]

I'm--

[Damn it. He's caught, isn't he?]

...I'm questionin' why I keep talkin' to you.

[cursedtolive]

[LAUGHING. He smiles widely.]

Aw, don't be like that, Firo!

[foundafamily]

[DON'T LAUGH, YOU LITTLE JERK! Firo pouts and turns away.]

I'm only bein' like this 'cause of you, you know!

[cursedtolive]

[Don't turn away now! He reaches over and tugs on his sleeve.] 'M just teasing you.

[foundafamily]

[He considers ignoring that tug, but after a moment he relents and looks down at Czes. He sighs.]

And you're doin' that because..?

[cursedtolive]

... 'Cause that's what people do.

[foundafamily]

You don't hafta do it to me. Go find somebody else.

[cursedtolive]

And who else am I gonna find in a place like this?

[foundafamily]

That's your problem, not mine.

[cursedtolive]

And I'm solving the problem, aren't I?

[foundafamily]

But then you're makin' problems for me!

[cursedtolive]

What doesn't kill you will make you stronger!

[foundafamily]

[He nearly laughs at that, but manages to turn it into a scoff.]

Sometimes I do think you'll be the death a' me. Like now.
