What kind of stories did you grow up with?

What kind of myths and fairy tales were you told?

Were you expecting something better?

I suppose I still naively hope that we might be better than what I see.

You may improve your way of life.

But rarely, I find, do you improve living.

Speaking from experience?

My experience? You'll find it will not match yours or anyone else's.

I imagine not. God, human, whatever one claims to be, everyones experiences are different. It's arrogant to think otherwise.

Arrogance rarely stops anyone either.

I wouldn't think to suggest that it does.

[ Hmm. ]

Is there a point? You're smart but you are going in circles.

Am I?

Hm, I suppose I am. Perhaps I'm still more of a child than I like to think, I must be getting tired. My apologies!

[ He rolls his eyes. ]

You're overdoing it.

[Rude.]

Well... I never was much of an actor.

I imagine the act does work in your setting. But it will not work here.
