[clifford already misses the days back when oscar was impressed or intimidated by him and would very much like to go back to them if it's alright.

(the fact that cliff can't actually remember when that might have been isn't of any consequence, really. the point is that it must have been true at some point and he misses it. metaphorically speaking anyway.)]

If that's what you think I bet I can find a couple of worms for you to eat.

[cliff says sourly, pushes himself up onto his elbows and spits on the ground next to oscar's foot in an effort to rid his mouth of some of the taste.]

I don't fucking know, I was going to ask you since this kind of stupid shit is always your fault.
