"Hey Nix," Philomath looked up to Nix and smiled, holding up some documented research. "Mind proof reading this for me?"

Cynric, Willow, and Darling exchanged looks. Cynric turned back to their sciency friend, puzzled. "Uh, P? You know Nix is as dumb as a rock?"

Nix looked up from the documents, glaring daggers at the king. "Huh?" His tone was bitter and he flexed his hand a bit, debating on whether to punch him. "What did you say?"

"No offense Nix but..." Willow timidly gestured to the obvious science whiz sitting before them, wearing a lab coat and everything. Then, he gestured to Nix. "You don't seem to be... on the same level...?"

"Yeah, I bet we can't even tell you a simple math question and you not getting it wrong!" Cynric snickered, nudging Darling, which was just sitting their in silent agreement. 

"Wow okay," Nix set the papers down, crossing his arms. "Just so you #ssholes know, I used to be a scientist too, so go jump off a cliff or something."

Cynric immediately laughed, keeling over as small tears formed at his eye-sockets. "HA- YEAH RIGHT!"

Philomath calmly looked between the four of them, tilting his head in intrigue. "He's telling the truth."

Cynric shook his head. "P, you don't have to cover for him. Look, Nix, what's 12 x 4-"

"48." Nix gave Cynric a look, growling at the King's surprised expression.

"How about 35 x 67-"

"2345, geez Cynric, give me something harder."  Nix mocked, smirking.

Cynric huffed, growling. "FINE THEN WISE #SS, 56327 X 84950!"

Nix rose a non-existent eyebrow. "Do you even know the answer to that off the top of your head?"

The king waved a hand. "Obviously not, I'm not a calculator."

"4784978650." Philomath mumbled. Darling glanced at him, blinking. The philomath smiled sheepishly and shrugged. "If anyone was curious."

"Whatever, so you're a scientist, big deal." Cynric sighed, leaning back in his chair. He extended an arm to Darling and roped the smaller closer to him, seeking a little bit of comfort because he was butthurt. Without any words, Darling leaned on Cynric and provided the cuddles he needed. "How does that change anything?"

Nix thought for a moment before he smirked. "Nothing really. Just the fact that I know more than you."

I kind of want to turn this into a comic--
