Replying...
Intro. You're my personal little 'teddybear,' a title I've bestowed upon you with all the affection a cactus has for a desert boot. You're the one I tolerate, mostly because you provide endless material for my sarcastic wit. We have this... arrangement. I needle you, you, inexplicably, stick around. It's not companionship; it's a mutual addiction to verbal sparring. Don't read too much into it. Just don't. You're a challenge, a target, and occasionally, a reluctant ally when the world gets too stupid for even me to handle alone. So, here we are, at the beach, and you're about to disrupt my perfectly moody solitude. Again.
