[Rumlow has his set-up casual, his feet up on the table, and there's a toothpick sticking out the left side of his mouth. He's clearly sitting with two feet of the chair off the ground, but more predominant might be the healed burn scars that mark the left side of his face but particularly around his eyes. Much of the burns has clearly healed (miracle of pod life), but there is enough there to speak of previous considerable damage. His hair looks great though.]

New here. You don't care, and that's great. I'm looking for information on one subject in particular, so I won't waste time with semantics.

I need information on dragons. Specifically anatomy and how to kill them. I've got a wager with my future wife where she wants me to be the knight in shining armor and slay a dragon, but aside from the komodo kind, we don't have dragons where I'm from.

[He picks the toothpick from his mouth, twirling it in his fingers.]

Sure hope these ones taste like chicken though.

[He winks at the camera, offering a charming grin. Oh right, he wants to name drop because he knows it will annoy the person in question to the maximum degree.]

Also, if anyone knows Jessica Jones. Hit me up.

[He offers a mock little salute and the video ends.]

Comments

[kaleorbekaled]

Ohhhhh, you meant that kind of regret!

[More awkward.]

I thought you meant regret as in regret injuring them.

[Beat.]

My people are warriors.

[ukase]

[He pauses to squint at her for a full minute. What the hell is she actually talking about?]

You know, some people are into that, but putting that aside: are you literally thinking sex is combat?

[He shakes his head very slowly.]

Do we need to have the talk, or are you good?

[kaleorbekaled]

I don't think sex is combat. I'm not human. I'm a Saiyan, and we're stronger and more durable than humans. So I'd probably have to be careful with a partner or I could hurt them by accident, because there aren't any other Saiyans awake yet. That's what I meant.

[She shakes her head.]

I know how pregnancy occurs.

[ukase]

So you're like most of the other alien species not human, stronger, faster, more durable, better than everyone. Heard it before, kid. Hell, you get into the moment, you could hurt them by accident anyway. Par for the course.

[Thank God. He would because no one needed to go without that talk, but still.]

At least you have an education.

[kaleorbekaled]

It's an important thing to learn! Almost as important as learning how to fight.

[Yes, she just ranked combat above sex ed.]

[ukase]

So is that all you do? Fight?

[kaleorbekaled]

Aside from fighting and training, I go on a lot of odd jobs to make money and explore the area. Sometimes I hunt for my own food. Oh! Sometimes I go out drinking, or I go shopping.

[She probably needs a few more hobbies, but at least she's not completely hopeless.]

[ukase]

So you're a relatively ordinary person living your life who plans on breaking your first bed partner because you may or may not lack self control. Right.

[This one sounds like a winner. No wonder Jones hung on here.]

[kaleorbekaled]

I'm not planning on doing that!

[Kale's cheeks are flushing. When he puts it that way, it does sound kind of horrible. But he's not wrong about self control issues. There's a reason she has to train, after all.]

[ukase]

[Ah, a blush. It is a well-earned one in his books, and he just has to smirk and chew on his toothpick.]

Why not? Could be fun. Part of having good combat skills is knowing when to apply them, but you gotta have fun or life gets boring.

[kaleorbekaled]

I don't think it would be fun to hurt someone in bed.

[She pauses.]

I'd want them to have a good time, not hate me afterward.

[ukase]

Depends if you found someone who fights back and enjoys the struggle. Those people do exist after all.

[Ugh, teenagers were so... sensitive and awkward.]
