[he huffs, acting like he actually needed her name and that he didn't remember every single detail about the awful gremlin that beat him in his own home-cave and stole his keystone and hasn't been slightly consumed with thoughts of rebattling her and winning and taking back his crown not at all it's fine this is fine--]
Yeah, well, I don't have my Keystone here anyway. [that's a lie. he does. he's actually wearing it right now. like, right in front of her. it glints in the sun slightly.

[he knows deep in his petulant baby little heart that wasn't zinnia, because he knows his own emotional things tend to manifest in ...magma like ways. the irony is not lost on him. archie basically grabs the topiary and rips the smoking branch out, tossing it on the ground and stomping on it.
....doesn't he have a sharpedo? look, the guy tried to control a very angry whale and thought his plan was a good idea. he's not the sharpest pawniard in the pc box.]
