If it has at least I got the excuse that I'm only sixteen. What's your excuse, huh? You do know it is super weird for adults to pick on kids, right?

[Riz's tail is lashing wildly behind him. If only he had his gun. Then he could shoot this guy. But alas.]

[amaure]

I'm afraid you'll die from your infinitesimal life span ere you or any other mortal could hope to be considered more than a child by comparison to an Ascian such as I--which means that I could not care less about your mortal views on when it's appropriate to criticize someone based upon their age.

[Uncrossing his arms, he shrugs his shoulders, hands out at his sides, palms skyward. Likewise letting out a sigh.]

Besides, if you are truly so sensitive, it would be prudent for you to refrain from antagonizing a man you are no match for.

[He squats down, resting his forearms on his knees as he watches his tail, his mouth pulling into a smirk. He's got to admit, there's something charming about Riz's type of goblin, not entirely different from those he's familiar, but different enough to appreciate.]

Honestly, you'd do well to keep your anger under control. Such little discipline will be your eventual undoing.

[How he says that little bit of advice isn't quite how he's said most everything else to Riz. There's a decidedly missing bit of condescension in his tone, replaced by what one might name "sincerity". Not that he expects Riz to listen, nor assume anything but ill from his words, but being a highly emotional sort himself, he's well aware of the double-edge sword such passion can prove to be.]

[While Riz is used to having to look up at people, it's irritating that this guy is so tall, he practically needs to lay down to be able to look up at him properly. However it's even worse when Emet-Selch squats down. It feels condescending, like he's literally being talked down to.

Which means that yes, Emet's bit of advice absolutely does not find its mark. But honestly, at this point Emet could give Riz a warning to get out of the way of a rolling boulder, and Riz'd be feeling the desire to stay in its path out of pure spite.]

You're the one who keeps antagonising me. I'm not the one who keeps starting these little talks.

[amaure]

Then do you consider any measure of communication to be antagonism? You seem quick to jump to conclusions, to assume the worst when it needs not be so.

[Riz is indeed a little annoying brat, but to be honest, most prove to be by Emet-Selch's measure. For all he said that every mortal is a child to him, he does actually recognize the difference between a mortal child (or teen!) and an adult. The time measurement is nigh inconsequential to someone who can live for nigh eternity, but he knows how much it matters to them--socially and developmentally.]

Let me guess, your world is much like the one I have come from: full of suffering, cruelty, and injustice. And, being as you are, oft do you find yourself at the receiving end of such. By my measure, Goblins seem to suffer universal scrutiny and mistrust, and so you must needs protect yourself, be it through aggression or wariness.

Thus someone such as myself reads as a threat, even if I have no interest in harming you. In truth, I believe you have some measure of potential, and it would be a shame to snuff that out, ephemeral as it may prove to be.
