[For those familiar with Dirk, they might notice something unusual about him today- for all that he usually wears shirts decorated with hats, he hasn't ever been a fan of wearing them. Until now, apparently, considering he's wearing one right now. It goes a long way toward making him look like Bro Strider, which is impressive, since they already look like clones.

It doesn't seem like he's about to talk about that, though.]

I have to say, I'm impressed by the amount of whining we've gotten for a simple curse like this. Jesus shit, it's a minor one, calm your tits and deal.

[Another blow-to-be. Perhaps the situation would be better if Kid looked at his soul, perhaps it would be worse, but right now Kid is playing bingo with the things Dirk normally despises in himself.

Knowing that the one person he considers his rival can recognize them easily cannot go down well. But for now, he's going into a self-destructive spiral of a different sort. He keeps opening his mouth and letting words come out.]

You don't know humans very well. Not everything humans do involves getting feelings over everything, you know. Calling me a monster just because of a simple conversation? You need to get your priorities checked.

Your world. Thanks, but no thanks. I think I'll keep this one, rather than living somewhere that you can be a megalomaniac of a leader.

Just look at you! You've gone and started with yourself, you're a heartless fool, Dirk Strider! To hear you call yourself a monster comes as no surprise.

[Because he never said it, and only assumes that Dirk has come to such a conclusion because he thinks it, personally.

And that's a tendency Kid himself has. He's projecting, that tends to be a thing with the neurotic.]

...

What did you call me? A megalomaniac?

So when I use my brain and not my feelings, I'm heartless by your definition. I'll keep that in mind. You're the one who said I'd abandoned my humanity. Said with such a negative connotation, what else can I assume but that you're calling me less than human?

[Well, it's partially right. And that's what will make it worse, come Sunday.]

Yes, I did. Accurate, isn't it? It's like they crafted a word just for you.

[His first instinct is to track Dirk down and give him a ringing backhand for what amounts to a gross insult; he resists acting on it. Barely.]

Do you think being something other than human makes you something less? God or witch, human or demon, the form it takes doesn't matter, when it's the soul that makes all the difference!

I mean your soul has become weak. What happened to you?

[shippingmath]

[That instinct will need to be thoroughly restrained for the entire conversation.]

Really. If you're looking for an excuse to try and beat me again, you could just ask, you know. Nothing's happened to me or my soul.
