I found the "One" count quite amusing (because of Phobius's "that is not the appropriate response!" reaction) and totally get where Quasar is coming from. He's not going to give Phobius the satisfaction of doing as he's told.
Then I re-read it a few times and thought, sheesh this guy (Phobius) calls him pretty boy way too many times. The whole "Heh-heh, I guess that was 39 times - die now." is just really sad. (Which I suppose is evidence of who really won the exchange). I mean, really, if you want the guy dead there are other more direct and certain ways to accomplish that. *shakes head* Some villains.
