[sighs]

I've managed that passably well the past few thousand years. What's a few thousand more.

Good.

[ Shifts how she's sitting, ] I'm still mad at you for how you handled it. But I don't like, hate you.

[ Not like she used to. ]

Before you say it, I know you don't care.

[long pause because now he needs to think up something that isn't that.]

You'd think you, of all people, would understand the necessity of ritual.

[nailed it.]

Mmf, [ He's got her there. ]

The magic nerd ritual bullshit wasn't usually left up to me. Back home I mostly did a lot of punching the shit out of things. Guess we've both got shit to learn.

... Wait, what do I have to learn? [he knows everything so like.]

[ Y'know aside from one of the most basic parts of human let alone mammalian biology- ]

The joy of doing shit specifically because people think you can't, or shouldn't be able to.

[ And other shit like 'compassion', but nothing else she can think of that he wouldn't outright mock her over. ]

Wasn't that wedding enough? Half of them spent the entire time waiting for Rains of Castamere to start playing.

[not-not sulking.]

But wasn't it fun getting to be smug afterwards? [ Smug is one of Darcy's top 3 emotions. ]

Well, yeah, obviously.

So imagine what it'll be like for things bigger than just not murdering people for a couple of hours. Weirdly, the harder you work at something, the more rewarding it is when you succeed at it.

That doesn't even sound true.

Literally like more than half of the books in the library follow the same pattern of 'someone struggles to do a thing and then succeeds in doing a thing', dude, [ she presumes, ] honest to God, it does.

[...]

You mean my library of fiction.

We've had two Dr Watsons on this fucking ship. I thought the whole different world-thing was that the stories were all true somewhere or something.

They're real in their own realities. And unrealistic expectations in this one.

So when you made this reality, you skipped plumbing or an actual sea floor or weather that changes, but you specifically wrote into the coding 'hard work does not pay off into any real reward'. Specifically. You put that in here specifically.
