“You are enjoying this way too much. I must admit you provide a better verbal opponent than most.”
“As if enjoyin’ somethin’ was a ba’ thing.” The compliment, such as it was, she doesn’t comment on.
“I really have nowhere to go from that… but! As you say, I should know who you are instead of comparing you to your dimensional counterparts. Very well,”
“Perhaps some sort of peace offering is in order? A breaking of bread. If Italian is suitable, there is an available restaurant that might serve as at least semi-neutral territory.”
“Mrs. Delic, just because I’m capable of building advanced technological marvels and can code artificial intelligence programs in my sleep, does not equate having a functional understanding of all the nuances of human biology.”

“You’re the one of us who is current;y pregnant. I’m fairly certain that is your problem.”
“Mrs. Delic, just because I’m capable of building advanced technological marvels and can code artificial intelligence programs in my sleep, does not equate having a functional understanding of all the nuances of human biology.”
“What? Like I’m supposed to try and judge everyone’s belly size that I meet and try and assess whether or not they happen to be growing a person inside of them?”
