question: how would your game meta knight react to meeting a actual baby or toddler version of kirby? i remember there was a kirby in your guild but they were a much older child. but what if it was a kirby that was a similar age to the anime one or younger?
My Meta knight really likes children, but also has a lot of respect for them, and judges and determines their behavior based by what is age-appropriate. He understands that Kirby makes rash, impulsive decisions so often because Kirby’s a child, and that’s what children do. Kirby doesn’t have the same patience level or complex reasoning skills as Meta knight does, and Meta knight doesn’t try to argue with a child bc frankly, children are stubborn and will defy logic if they are sure they’re right. I think this is partially the reason MK doesn’t explain himself to Kirby all that often; his reasons and behaviors are usually very multi-faceted, which would be confusing to Kirby, as well as a waste of Meta knight’s time.
I think the way Meta knight would treat Kirby whether he was an older child or a toddler would be very similar, though there would be distinct difference in the level of conversation he’d interact w/ Kirby on (he’d probably use shorter sentences, easy to explain words, and only talk to Kirby about very concrete concepts; abstract ideas tend to be very confusing for young children to grasp).They’re still rivals, and my Meta knight is not Kirby’s father, so He’d stilll be a little stand-offish, but if Kirby were to give off any distress signals, MK’s biological clock would kick in and he’s act accordingly.
