Sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treating someone like an authority" and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you won't respect me I won't respect you" and they mean, "if you won't treat me like an authority I won't treat you like a person" - and they think they're being fair but they aren't.

"I understand that you're upset-"

"No- No you don't understand!! You never did, Wind Archer!! I've been doing YOUR JOB SENSE YOU WERE GIVEN THAT SCARLET POISON!!"

"I HAVE DONE MY JOB FOR CENTURIES, WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW!?"

"MORE THAN YOU, APPARENTLY!! YOU WILLINGLY TOOK THE POISON AND IT STARTED THAT WHOLE MESS! IT WAS BECAUSE OF YOU AND POMEGRANATE COOKIE THAT OUR HOME FELL TO RUIN!! THAT MY TRIBE WAS PUT TO SLUMBER! THAT MILLENNIAL TREE WAS DISGRACED AND POISONED HIMSELF!!"

"WHAT ELSE WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO!? I HAD TO GET STRONGER!-"

"Stronger- STRONGER!? YOU WERE ALREADY STRONG!! YOU HAD CENTURIES TO GROW AND LEARN!! I HAD TO RUSH TO LEARN ADVANCED FIGHTING TECHNIQUES JUST TO DEFEND MYSELF!! TO DEFEND WHAT YOU LEFT VULNERABLE!!"

"IT WASN'T THAT BAD, EVERYONE WAS SAFE WHILE ASLEEP! YOU WERE SAFE!"

" I WASN'T ASLEEP, WIND ARCHER!! I PROTECTED THIS PLACE. . . I SPENT YEARS ALONE TO PROTECT THIS SACRED PLACE AND NEVER ONCE HAVE I SEEN YOU AROUND!! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU'RE WORTHY OF THE TITLE IF YOU LET THAT HAPPEN!?"

"..."

"What makes you think you're worthy being called a guardian if you let scarlet poison almost kill us all..."

(@teabrain , @asks-cookies-and-chaos , here we got Churro snapping at Wind archer after the story events of "The hidden truth of the city"- things did get better but Churro does have tension with Wind Archer(which is shown in his relationship chart) so this is based off that- as for the "years" part, I thought it was weird he was so calm about everyone he knew being incased in roots. So, I had the headcanon that he was already awake for a long time before the story events.)

“Oh, 'cause to tell you is too scary So I'll just say something else Like how was fall semester? And what was that song about? I'll try to hide the way I feel But I'll just wanna shout What do I have to lose right now?”

“What happened to Father?” The boy asked again, his voice now no more than a whisper. A single tear rolled down his cheek as he predicted the answer.
