•Jay, what is your favorite activity to do with your kids? Which one would you like to connect more with?
⚡️: We have a family game/movie night every Saturday where we all hang out, eat junk food, and get to catch up with each other. It can get pretty wild sometimes
I would say Hazel, actually. She was a daddy’s princess when she was little, but she’s grown more independent now that she’s a teenager, *crying* and- and I miss my little baby girl so much
• Lloyd, how does it feel to train your kids, knowing they have such a powerful element?
🐲: In a word? Challenging
Aura…she’s got pretty good control over her powers, but it seems like she holds back more than she should. *sighs* I’ve tried to explain to her her duties as the Green Ninja, but…she lacks responsibility. She hasn’t even performed the Ritual of Unrooting yet, and I worry that she’ll never reach her potential
Now, Raiden…is a completely different story. He understands his duties well enough, but he loses control very easily…which can be pretty disastrous in the wrong circumstances
Both of them have a lot of learning yet to do, but overall, I’m very proud of them both
• For everyone, have you ever regret letting the kids be ninjas, knowing the danger that entails?
🐲: I’ve thought about it at times. Aura didn’t seem too enthusiastic about it at first, actually. I thought about telling her so didn’t have to, but…unfortunately, I can no longer fulfill the role of Green Ninja, so her becoming a ninja was somewhat necessary
⚡️: Oh, absolutely. Nya and I had a long discussion about that when Hazel started her training. Ultimately, we decided to let them choose. And they all chose to give us daily heart attacks, so thanks kids
🪨: Being a ninja was for Blake, at first, something he could let out his anger through. It was something he needed at that time, and…I guess I thought maybe it could build a connection between us. It’s never been easy, but I trust him to do what he needs to do
⛄️: Of course. I worry often about whether I’m pushing Piper, or if this is truly what she wants. Because first and foremost, I want her to be happy. As for the danger, I find myself worrying about that more than I thought I would. Parenthood is…far more complex than I’d expected, especially parenting a teenager
❤️🔥: I think we all have at some point. But y’know? I knew Aiden would be a ninja. I see a lot of my fire in his eyes, and I think he makes a great leader. I try to be there for him whenever he needs me
🐍: I mean…I guess? Rye doesn’t do much out in the field, so I’d say he isn’t it too much danger, but I know that will probably change one of these days
🥧: Pretty much what Frak said. I don’t doubt that Rye could be good with actual ninja stuff, but for now, I’m glad he’s not risking his life every other week
• Cole, with which one of your kids do you feel more "connection"? Like, with whom you can talk more, or do more things, etc.
🪨: Why does it seem like you’re asking me which one is my favorite? Just kidding. Um…I would say generally I feel closest to Lilly, but that could just be because of how clingy she can be at times. I love being with all three of them though
• Kai, what is your favorite activity to do with your son?
Cooking. It’s kind of a whole family affair. Can get pretty cramped in our tiny kitchen with three people working in it, but I think that’s part of the fun of it
Right now, we’re actually trying mini golf for the first time, and I think he’s taking it a bit too seriously haha
