You should talk to Gabriel, he's billions of years old but talks like a millennial.

[heavymetals]

And what is that? Someone who's only thousands of years old?

[ It's text, but she'll undoubtedly hear the dry sarcasm. ]

[divinityfrompain]

[ Laughing. ]

That would make sense! But it's my generation. Because we came of age in the new millennium, the 2000s. The first gen with a whole lot of fancy technology, glued to our phones.

When I'm a thousand years old I'll still use it though, it'll be more fitting.

[heavymetals]

Ah. I see.

[ Well, that's actually not entirely illogical, so he'll let it slide. ]

You have an amazing capacity to make me feel both old and young at once.

[ When I'm a thousand years old, like that's perfectly normal. ]

[divinityfrompain]

I'm going to start calling you whippersnapper and young man in preparation. You youths!

[heavymetals]

I'm sure that won't seem strange to anyone.

[ Not like she looks young enough to be his daughter or anything. ]

[divinityfrompain]

It's funnier if you call me an old lady and grandma.

[heavymetals]

Next time we feel like confusing some poor idiot, let's do that.

[divinityfrompain]

Just be glad you haven't hit the social media era yet, I can tell you'd hate it with all of your being. Those are applications on our phones where people can share everything they think and feel publicly.

[heavymetals]

Great. Mass media available for all to publish. Because that's just what the youth needs.

[divinityfrompain]

Bah humbug! Get off my lawn!

[heavymetals]

Alright, calm down, grandma.

[divinityfrompain]

[ She cackles IRL. She adores him. ]

I liked Instagram because it was mostly just photos. If I wanted to make a photo album here of all of you I wouldn't be able to.

[heavymetals]

I can understand the appeal of that.

[ The name is pretty self-explanatory, so. ]

You could find a portrait artist. Or use magic to create pictures of us. There must be some way of making it happen.

[divinityfrompain]

Ha! Are you going to sit for a portrait? Like we're in the Renaissance?

[heavymetals]

I was being genuine, but you know what? Now I won't sit for a portrait for your benefit, should you decide to put that album together.

[divinityfrompain]

Awww, don't pout, whippersnapper. Pleeeease?

[heavymetals]

I don't know what you mean. I'm a grown man, I don't pout.

[divinityfrompain]

You want a different word that vaguely means the same thing? Sulk. Brood. You're definitely a brooder.

[heavymetals]

I suppose brooding sounds better than pounting. I'll have to accept that.

[divinityfrompain]

Don't brood, whippersnapper. You have a nice smile!

[heavymetals]

Flattery will not earn you any favors.

[ Only true because she doesn't even need to flatter him to get him to do whatever she wants, apparently. Sucker. ]

[divinityfrompain]

The compliment was for free, this time.

[heavymetals]

You are unbelievable.

[divinityfrompain]

In a bad way or a good way? Or a mixed way?
