So, I found something today that caught my eye.

Apparently they have made a television show about my son. I don't know if I should be proud or not.

At any rate, if you wish to see...

My son happens to be the boy with the white hair. His name is Setsuna.

Ah, youth. If only it came with survival skills built in.

I won't use it. I'd feel bad about it anyway.

[Locked]

[starofchaos]

As you wish. Is this what you would call guilt?

[Locked]

[unknownrival]

...Maybe. Regret is closer. Normally it would be natural for me to call her that - in that case I don't consider it an offense to be guilty of. But that was before I became friends with you.

[Locked]

[starofchaos]

Hm... I see. So that is how you feel...

Well, then. You'll just have to get more creative, hm?

[Locked]

[unknownrival]

Believe me, that is certainly possible.

[Locked]

[starofchaos]

The one thing I will never doubt is human creativity.

[Locked]

[unknownrival]

Excellent. And I am only human, so that works well.

[Locked]

[starofchaos]

Do let me know what you come up with.

[Locked]

[unknownrival]

I'll write up a list.

[Locked]

[starofchaos]

I do look forward to it.

[Locked]

[unknownrival]

...'Cool' for a fire demon. Well, there's no rule against it.

[Locked]

[starofchaos]

...I never claimed that he was smart.

[Locked]

[unknownrival]

You're too hard on him. No child will be as smart as their father at ten.

[Locked]

[starofchaos]

Believe me, I know.

...he is fine as he is.

[Locked]

[unknownrival]

That's more like it.

[Locked]

[starofchaos]

Are you intending to give me parenting lessons now, Ryudo-san?

[Locked]

[unknownrival]

It wasn't my intention. I only thought that being your child must be hard enough with all the love and support in the world.

[Locked]

[starofchaos]

He didn't know it, at the time. Who his father was, or the father of his brother.

[Locked]

[unknownrival]

Does he know now?

[Locked]

[starofchaos]

Yes. He is well aware now.

[Locked]

[unknownrival]

Hm. In that case, even the most generous child support isn't quite the same as love and care.

You don't actually pay child support, do you.

[Locked]

[starofchaos]

Don't be ridiculous.

She went off and got pregnant with Michael. I think she had it pretty well sorted out up until she died.

[Locked]

[unknownrival]

That's hardly his fault.

[Locked]

[starofchaos]

I don't blame him. Believe me. If I hadn't been in that situation-

[-WAIT SHIT IS IT BETTER TO BE VIEWED AS A BAD FATHER OR AS A GUY WHO GOT POSSESSED BY HIS OWN SUBORDINATE? PRIIIIIDE?]

[unknownrival]

...Sorry. I don't mean to go off on you like that, it's a personal subject. I know you have your reasons.
