Quan does nothing but talk big. But really I just don't want to see you picking on him. I mean he tries his best to pick at you but he fails so spectacularly that I can't count it. You doing the reverse seems harsher.

Yes, I'm aware. I'm also aware that it is just not in Quan to argue something he hasn't seen. It's a handicap if you will. Quan deserves to be humiliated on his own terms since he won't bother otherwise."But Aura, you devilishly handsome rogue" you might say. "I'm merely seeking to help Quan overcome said handicap. Surely you will not fault a man for that, however drunk he might be at the time."
Indeed there is some value to trying to help the young lad overcome the limits he places on himself. For that you are most admirable. However I contend that a vet prefers not to operate until everything is in place. Quan is not yet ready to overcome that yet. On his own terms, humble him. Make him realize you have something to teach.
"Ah but Aura, certainly I've already done so in countless debates with him already. His stubbornness to humble himself like so many fine gents before calls for the more drastic measure."
To others you have proven it but to him that does not appear to be the case. Now were it up to me I'd put the old dog out on the street, tied to a lamppost and be on my merry way, ignoring his barks of indignation as I leave. But since that is not what you plan to do I must ascertain that whatever you do will be effective. I give this advice for you ol' chap, not the mangy cur. Wasted action is most unbecoming to my eyes.
"Perhaps instead of assisting the lad in overcoming his handicap is indeed too much of a daunting task if I must concede a bit of my patience. I may just continue on this path to further beat the mongrel. It is quite pleasing to the audience you see. I do this for them. And I shan't lie, I enjoy it myself."
Ah dear friend I see your point. It does seem to amuse those who watch to see the poor dog's suffering but that is entirely the point. A dog who has been abused so long has lost his senses and the abuse is less funny because it has grown rather stale. Surely over time you've come to accept that the amusement has gone out. I suggest humbling yourself before the dog one last time before humiliating him once again by playing his own game. Once that has happened, there is an ever so small a chance that a sliver of hope will appear and you can inject this beast with something more. Teach him humility, rouse him to burning thought and change the man for the better. That dear friend will be all the more entertaining, even if it fails.
Not only does he discourage me from bullying you, he goes on to compare you to a frequently abused dog.
