"Haha!! Hardy you dumbass! Kit was just teasing you! Of course we all understand your parable!" Dike laughed at his rather naive buddy.
"Hey! Who are you calling dumbass! You can't call him that!" Kitiara shouted at Dike loudly. "He may be a real dumbass in the truest sense of the word, a complete retard, even! But that's not for YOU to call him that! Only I can do that, right? Hardie Dumbie?"
"No. Don't call me that." Hardy replied automatically. But as always and as expected, Kitiara ignored him.
"Nobody calls him stupid! Those that dare to do that will suffer the consequences!" Kitiara slammed the butt of her spear down with great power on the ground and glared at Dike.
"Alright alright, I won't call your precious boyfriend that." Dike said helplessly.
"I am not her boyfriend." Hardy replied automatically.
"Yet. You're not my boyfriend yet, dumbie! Hee hee!" Kitiara giggled and bumped his arm lightly with her elbow.
