Well for someone who's complaining about work, you don't seem remotely fazed about it.

There just is so much work. Start of a  new week already looks pretty busy.

Well it's not my fault I got dragged into another one of your halloween parties before I even thought about dinner and it definitely isn't my fault your so-called friend is a bad host and didn't even think to order pizza or something remotely decent.

You’re lucky you didn’t. Besides, it’s not my fault that someone can’t hold their liquor.

If you say so, Demetrius. But I think we both know that involving Max will only complicate things even further -- which I obviously do not have the time for.

Erm--yeah, whatever. Well, I'm going to go now since you're clearly not of good use.

Cowering out of fear and simply ignoring are two very different things. I, of course, prefer the latter. Frankly, I’ve got better purposes for my hands than hitting, and I’d rather not have bruised knuckles whilst going about my usual business.

Oh, but of course. A little mention of our siblings and you cower away.

If I needed to let off some steam, Lexi, I would have hit you already.

Well then you should really think about the consequences of throwing the first punch, big brother. But hey, if you're just dying to let of some steam, why don't you just go right ahead? I'm sure Max, Callie and Andy wouldn't mind.

Since we’re from the same bloodline, you should know that a threat from one of us means everything, little brother.

Then I'll definitely try not to. Your threats are nothing to me, Demetrius. After all, we do share the same blood line and if you do "kick my ass", I'll only retaliate back.

It’s a talent, what can I say? I’d be careful about your answer, Lexi, because you know full well I won’t hesitate to kick your ass.

Of course you can. After all, that's the only you have going for yourself, big bro. Now, do you really want me to answer that?

Alcoholic or not, at least I can handle my liquor. Do I look like your bitch? You can get it youself.

Well I have a reasonable excuse to be dramatic. And ha ha ha, you're hilarious, Dee. It's such a shame I didn't puke on your dress last night.

Don’t be so dramatic. Maybe you should get some ice, or some water and aspirin, or cut the caffeine and alcohol from your diet…I’ve heard that helps, you know.

I'm sorry but was that the alcoholic in you that was trying yet failing to deny the obvious truth? But if you're so adamant on eggs benedict being the "best way" to cure a hangover, then maybe you should go and get me some then maybe.. possibly.. leave me to be?

Drunken alcoholic is a bit redundant- and a bit of an exaggeration. Drunken, yeah, but I can stop whenever I want. I just don’t want to. I’m telling you, it’s the best way to cure a hangover, and it’ll get you over the nausea.

Wise words from the drunken alcoholic I have for a brother. Thanks but I'll probably stick to some aspirin and water... I can't even look at food right now, much less think about consuming it.

You are way too young to be writing off drinking forever, kiddo. Have some eggs benedict, the hangover will go straight away.

As cliché as it may sound, I am never drinking again.

Well that can be debatable... I'm kidding. Of course you are.

Alright, but don't tell me I didn't warn you. So anyway, is there any reason in particular as to why your headaches seem to be occurring fairly often nowadays?

But I’m the most notable, of course.

I’ll keep that in mind. It’s gotta go away eventually. It always does. I think I can manage to stick it out. 

Now, now. There's no need for jealousy, my dearest twin sister. We all know I'm gifted in the field of science. And by "we" I meant just you and a few notable people, really.

But alright, suit yourself. ...Although if you change your mind, I'm sure there's an ice pack in the freezer waiting for you.

And the capacity of your brain never ceases to amaze me. I think I’m going to stick to the aspirin and water for now.

I think my head is hurting more from that science lesson. Thanks a lot, Bill Nye. And as for the caffeine and alcohol, those happen to be two of the best ingredients. I’ll suffer through a few headaches.

Migraine? It's probably best if you use an ice pack to relieve the pain. Make sure to place it on your temples though since the artery that supplies blood to your dura -- which is the lining of your brain -- sits behind the thin bone at the temple, and lowering the temperature of the blood passing through that area apparently relieves some of the throbbing. But hey, some aspirin and water will help too.

Dee, you need to stop consuming too much alcohol and caffeine. Those and chocolates -- which by the way, contain phenylethylamine -- are usually headache triggers. Also, cut down on your nitrates and nitrites. Trust me, those headaches won't go away if you don't.

My head is pounding.

I'm glad you have your priorities straightened out. Assume all you want, but at least I know what a thesaurus is.

Funny because I wasn't even close to humouring you. I was simply expressing a factual statement. But hey, if you can't wrap your mind around what I just said... purchasing a dictionary would probably be a smart move on your part.

I would deck you right in your face but you aren’t even worth the visit to detention. Right, and this is coming from a guy who probably reads the thesaurus for fun.

I’m a riot, man. Your sense of humor is just absolute shit.

Of course you would.

Uh--sure, yeah... whatever, bro.

Sleep continues to evade me, so I figure doing something productive should suffice.

Nothing you'd find interesting, that's for sure.

Okay, I think that's my cue to leave now. I'm--uh, going to be in my room if you need me. Or not... It's probably best if you don't need me.
