E: "Do you like video games?"
A: "What?"
E: "Video games. Magical bundles of joy that come in different shapes and sizes. Some in CDs, some in-"
A: "When I say 'what', I don't mean "explain to me the meaning and purpose of said what-ed thing using fancy words."
E: "Well, do you like them?"
A: "I've never played any."
E: "...you've never played any?"
A: "That's what I said."
E: "I will teach you the ways of the Xbox."
A: "Er, no thank you."
E: "Aww, Aeryn, you say that like you have a choice."
A: "Huh?"
E: "Last week we were at your house and you made me draw for you and laughed at me when I failed. Now, at my house, I'm going to make you virtually shoot people and you are going to like it."
A: "But-"
E: "No buts."
A: "Fine."
E: "Okay, so we'll take...this one and put it in the disk slot. Wait for it to load...and there!"
A: "That looks violent."
E: "Don't sound so innocent, you'll love it."
A: "Hm."
E: "Okay, so this button shoots and this button makes you run faster. Got it?"
A: "Is there nothing else?"
E: "Nothing else you need to know. Okay, let's go!"
A: "You're just doing this so you can win and laugh at me for sucking really bad."
E: "That's the plan."
A: "Hm..."
E: "..."
A: "Hah! I got you!"
E: "What?"
A: "I took the shooty thing and shot you in the head and you fell over and died. I thought you knew about shooty things."
E: "Shh!"
A: "Got you again! Seriously, are you going easy on me?"
E: "No."
A: "The bitterness in your voice is deliciously palpable."
E: "It's beginner's luck."
A: "You tell yourself that if it'll help you sleep at night."
E: "..."
A: "Game over! I win!"
E: "..."
A: "I just slammed you to the ground with your own shooty game that I've never played before, you shouldn't be smiling."
E: "You're so excitable, it's adorable."
