"Oh, shut up, brainiac! I said I'm bringing her, and that's final!" Before Lucius could finish, Kiren cut him off. Her voice echoed through the hallway.
Lucius's eyes narrowed in irritation. "How many times have I told you to stop calling me that? It's incredibly rude!" he snapped, his usual composed demeanor slipping.
Kiren rolled her eyes, crossing her arms defiantly. "Brainiac, stop trying to use your dumb logic in everything we do. You should learn to live a little more spontaneously."
"Live more spontaneously? And end up like a brain-dead barbarian like you? No, thanks," Lucius shot back, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
"What did you call me, brainiac?" Kiren yelled, her hair seeming to crackle with her fiery mana.
Their argument escalated, each trading verbal jabs and raised voices, filling the hallway with their heated exchange.
