[This is for dicking around and getting thread samples but mostly shameless indulgence.]

[Is Jupiter seriously here out of concern for him? What the hell? Why? Tristan doesn't know how to deal with it but it terrifies him.]

That's a lot of suspects.

'fraid so. Anyway, get me a cuppa will 'ya?

I don't recall inviting you in.

So stingy. You've made more than enough for two cups, right?

[SO WHAT IF HE DID.]

Do you normally demand to be served after breaking and entering?

You're special.

If I give you coffee will you leave?

Always in a hurry to rush me out. But yeah, I'll leave when I'm finished with it.

Good. I really can't stand people like you.

[He gets out a second cup, movements stiff and generally hostile (or defensive). But he's never been warm or welcoming really so that's normal.]

Why's that?

You have to ask? Low born common filth who think they're worth something now. Self-righteous and brazen, talking as if you have a right to address me so casually, as if we're equals. Hunting down your betters like a treacherous dog. It makes me sick to my stomach.

[The words are hateful and vile, and there's some emotion in them. But it's not quite the right emotion. Jupiter's probably used to mages hating him, and there's a lack of true arrogance or venomous spite. They're just nasty words, not particularly close held beliefs.]

[He pours the coffee and sets it in front of Jupiter.]

But here you are, giving me coffee.

[ He takes the cup. ]

I've met better liars than you.

It's my job to give you coffee, I don't have to like it.

Do you really think I don't despise you? How laughable.

Sure, whatever. Try not sounding like you're reciting some kind of script, yeah?

[Slaps his hand on the table and leans into Jupiter's space, expression furious.]

Are you not listening to me? I don't want you around, you thick-headed, brainless thug.

[Well not wanting Jupiter around is true.]

I'd rather deal with a killer than filth like you.

[ Jupiter suddenly leans forward, eyes shining with interest, not at all put off. ]

Do you have dealings with a killer?

As you so observed, I don't have dealings with anyone. If you're looking for a killer's associates you'll have to look elsewhere.

Your lack of contacts is pretty suspicious though.

And here I thought I was the only one not on the suspect list.

[He leans back, not backing down from Jupiter's intensity!! He just feels like being on the other side of the kitchen again.]

You're not. Technically. But you could be trying to protect someone, which would explain why you're so defensive all the time. Or maybe you've been threatened, and don't want to risk getting close to anyone. Lots of reasons.

Or maybe I just don't like people after everything that happened a decade ago. Do you see conspiracies in everything?

Yes. Makes me successful~

Good for you.
