[ wp ] Write a comic exchange where two people slice each other with sly and bitchy insults while pretending to be nice .

`` Oh, Anna, I love how you can just wear anything,'' Beth says. 
 
 Anna feels the cut open on her left shoulder. It's a small one. Shallow. But the derision was dull and generic, so it'd only make sense. It was time for a rebuttal however. 
 
 `` Thank you, Beth. I appreciate it. Truly. I could never do what you do. You really have to search for clothes that fit your unique style.'' 
 
 Anna turned and beamed at Beth to really nail the strike. Additionally, `` thighs,'' had rolled around her tongue for a moment before she settled on unique style as its mask. She knew Beth was sensitive about her thighs, which made the slow developing cut on Beth's cheek all the deeper. 
 
 She wipes some of the blood off of her face with a handkerchief and replies, `` Oh, that's kind of you to say. But, aside from clothing of course I must say you are really doing well for yourself, especially after James.'' 
 
 A long, deep cut starts forming on Anna's side. 
 
 Beth continues, `` I mean, you're so strong to be okay after something like that. It's really impressive. And now you're dating Alfonse, who is so... So... Rustic.'' 
 
 Anna can taste blood in her mouth now. She swallows hard and just smiles in response. Beth smiles back. 
 
 `` Oh, well, it's not been that bad,'' Anna responds, holding her ribcage, `` I mean, one such as yourself should count themselves lucky that they've avoided even being put in a situation where heartbreak is an optional outcome.'' 
 
 Beth starts limping as they walk and Anna can see blood trailing out of her jeans. 
 
 `` Y'know what,'' Beth starts, voice strained, `` let's stop talking about each other for a while, alrighty?'' 
 
 `` Alrighty.''
