there was part of him that wanted to go on a very LARGE rant about how much STRONGER BEINGS had tried to do so before. to throw out loud BOASTS about what he could do and eventually do them. 

it was just on the TIP of his tongue to do so. to actually go into an AMUSED rant about how he DOUBTED the other could actually MAKE HIM GET ON HIS KNEES. yet, at the same time, he was still in a good mood, and that meant that he was at least going to INDULGE the other — if only for a MOMENT.

“—- how about you MAKE ME and the whole of CREATION, “ his upper lip twitched slightly, “ will know just who was able to FINALLY do it.”
