Right? Like, who the hell does he think he is? Douchebag.

[coastal]

Hm? What's a douchebag? Another insult?

[gatonina]

[they nod.]

It's... an obnoxious or contemptible person. [a beat.] Typically, a guy.

[coastal]

[conspiratorially:]

Is Asch a douchebag?

[gatonina]

Yes.

[zero hesitation.]

[coastal]

[nodding in understanding]

I see. Thanks for the new vocabulary. Any other insults you like?

[she is just going to collect them]

[gatonina]

You're welcome. What insults do you already know?

[coastal]

I learned 'punkass bitch' the other day - it's very colorful. I liked it a lot.

Otherwise it's the usual bastard, bitch, curr...

[gatonina]

Nice. [they clap.] Ever heard of a mythic bitch, Lili?

[coastal]

[a soft gasp]

No, I have not. What makes a bitch mythic?

[ . . . and distantly, she seems rather glad that the distraction has worked, if temporarily]

[gatonina]

When they're a bitch but, like, majestically.

[talking shit is a very good distraction.]

[coastal]

It almost sounds like a compliment...?

[gatonina]

Almost. You shouldn't aim to be called a mythic bitch, though.
