IRIS
cuz we know it irritates you and punishments should hurt
okay ouch christmas doesn’t irritate me that much
but just you wait, you both will be back at university by then too,which is plenty of time for me to concoct payback
IRIS
payback for the consequences of your own actions??
you’re the one who chose to throw the unstoppable force of practical jokes up against the immovable object of my personality
i will respond in kind
especially because i just spent almost a grand on shoes for you
KRIS
A GRAND???
yeah that was ONE PAIR
really put into perspective how i normally would’ve just sent you a new pair with christmas’s magic and not thought twice about it, so thanks for the second helping of guilt-riddled self-awareness iris
again, not sure why you’re doling out even MORE punishment
IRIS
because i bought that first pair myself from working my shitty uni job
do you know how many hours i had to spend making deli sandwiches to save up for those shoes
KRIS
Yeah, fuck, you’re right, this punishment still isn’t enough.
.… that is not the point i was trying to make
MY ORIGINAL POINT is that you two had better think long and hard about what hell you inflict on me
it will come back upon you tenfold
IRIS
that, my darling, is what is known as an empty threat given that you promised to be a good boy now and stop enacting shenanigans
KRIS
Iris, I heard that mic drop.
HA. Coal’s gone silent.
IRIS
did we really succeed in shutting him up??
