Well, that's easy: neither of you win now.

[Tusky]

Nobody wins 

[Glaurung]

No, surely that can't be so - the ephemeral glory of winning is all we have here. If that is gone too, we have nothing left.

I shall make a stand against this nihilism, and declare boldly: I win!

[Tusky]

win!

[Glaurung]

So you do... ah, errm, did.

Hmm. Can I decipher this curious inscription? It looks almost like Roman numerals... V VI IV, if I'm not mistaken. 564 - what can that mean? It doesn't seem to be a year of particular historical significance, nor a number with any particularly unusual properties. Ah, let's see, it ends in 4 and it's divisible by 4 - ooh, there's a four-letter phrase I can immediately think of: I win!

[Tusky]

close enough!

[Glaurung]

Thank you.

[Tusky]

Happy birthday

[Glaurung]

Thank you. It's not actually my birthday today, but I'll store it up for when it is my birthday. Or maybe I can apply it to my previous birthday. Or should I let someone else have it for their birthday, either today or some other time? Hmm, tricky. Anyway, enough of these temporal dislocations: I win!

[Tusky]

Oh sorry I thought it was today 

Silly me

[Glaurung]

Not to worry: it's nice to be thought of.

[Tusky]

I think it's high time for a nice afternoon

WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN

[Glaurung]

Excellent idea! I heartily approve of nice afternoons, and also of winning.
