Look the world's finally agreed on something. I'm the most obnoxious asshole. What a bunch of bullshit but least it'll keep people from pissing me off for awhile.
Snake went deathly calm. You are jealous you are not the only boy on the block anymore. You have no value for anything except your own ego. I see how you treat Xena and your mother. You lack respect and honor both for how you disreguard them and how you dishonor your host with your haughty bullshit.
Snake frowned.
So how do you judge worthiness? Out with it or go away.
Toris became white as a sheet having heard his words. The shiver has run on his body, and for one instant blood has flowed in a head, he desperately wanted to strangle this bastard, wanted to strike him on lips to force to shut up, but restrained again. Toris was skilful to supervise the anger, skilful to be cool-headed even during the most difficult minutes. Snake cut him to the quick, yes, probably, he felt something like jealousy now. But Toris saw the same feeling in his opponent, it appeared in his gestures and words. Snake as though tried to prove to them his importance. Oh,Toris understood him here because he did not like to feel like a pawn, too. And this affected severity and roughness only a way to fill a dust in eyes to people. But Toris remembered conversation with Autolycus. This guy was the banal thief. Toris could not believe, that his sister could fall in love with such braggart. He felt, that the calmness has returned to him again, and replied slowly, uttering each word precisely. I believe, there is still someone who is borrowed because of ehe is not the one only guy in the block. And if I knew, that host can offend his guests here, I would think before enter this house. As to worthiness... Toris sat on a sofa and crossed legs. First, to understand it, I should know your origin. Second, I should know that price, which you are ready to pay for entering our family.
Toris looked at him with contempt I have only acted as the careful son when he sees, that his mother welcome not according to her social status and age. If you belonged to noble family, I should not explain you such simple things. Toris cocked head on one side, examining the future brother-in-law Whence you come? What family do you belong to?
Snake shrugged. That is how I greet your mother. It is appropriate here to show affection for one's mother and family.
Snake cocked a brow. I come from west of here. A place called South Dakota.
Snake wasn't sure about the family part where to start.
My father Robert was an Air Force pilot who specialized in entering war zones to rescue wounded and bring medical supplies. My mother Ella was a pediatric nurse until I was born. Both of my Grandfathers served in the Air Force as pilots. Grandmother Plissken served as a front line nurse during the Korean war and my maternal Grandmother bred mustangs. The Plissken family has served in the military for generations. I was in the Airforce as well until I was injured.
Snake motioned toward the patch but bit back all the anger he associated with what he just said. Now was not the time to break out into fury.
Toris listened to a history of Snake's family and tried to not show, that understands a third part of that he hears. Some words sounded as mysterious spells, but he not shown, that it confused him. Now he understood the reason of arrogance of this guy. He saw such guys as Snake in Амфиполисе. Children of rich parents, the descendants of respectable and glorified families thinking that can achieve the same height only because parents have helped them to fly up. But he saw, what happens with them when there comes war. The part from them goes on the war, convinced in their invulnerability, and perishes there. Or survives, but receives wounds which then they are proud of. Others, cowardlier, seek safety in flight. Toris felt, that his cheeks flare. He could not forget that day when has allowed to these people to persuade himself and run away in mountains. He forbidden to himself to think of this shame and looked on Snake skeptically. Never heard about Air Forces.
Snake watched his expression and could see the disbelief. So he wants to play games. Snake shrugged. Bit hard to explain. I could take you out and show you. Been meaning to show Xena what I mean by "pilot" anyway.
Toris felt now that his curiosity struggles with mistrust. And as always, he hidden both feelings under a mask of sarcasm To show me what? So is it one of your ways of conquest of women? Well, you are, probably right, and it will be better to see thing once, than ten times to hear about it.
Snake looked at the boy like he was a fool. A pilot is a job. Just going to show you the skills of the trade. If it seduces women it is because it takes intellegence and honor to be one.
Toris desperately would like to beat the stuff out of this inflated guy, but he restrained, having thought of the sister. How could Xena bear him even minute?! Toris sighed, begging gods to give him patiences and shrugged shoulders. When it will be convenient for you. Though I am visitor here, I think, that host should not entertain us constantly.

I believe you were the first to raise a hand or did you forget how you treated me for greeting your mother.
Snake sat in teh recliner and laid back with his feet up. What do you want to know? Ask away.

He looked over at Toris and frowed at the sigh. If he was anymore intolerable SNake thought he would have to kill him.
