Dad, what's all that? - @turn-the-volume-upside-down

It is...

[He is not happy with how bad they turned out]

Chocolate covered strawberries some have a caramel drizzle. And uhhh i cut each strawberry into either 1/2 or 1/4 and I am so sorry they aren't... great looking

[He smiles shyly and offers her some]

(She eats some and lights up) Hey, they're pretty good! Tasty, anyway!

Oh yay!

I was worried you wouldn't like them little dudett.

(She shrugs) You wouldn't believe the things I've been fed before.

[He ruffles her hair]

Your stronger than me kid

(She looks at his arms) I dunno dad, you seem a whole lot stronger than me.

You are the strongest kid i know.

[Boop]

I can't lift that much...

Dad! (she pauses, like she's almost surprised and embarrassed she actually called him dad) Uh, I drew your bird form. - @turn-the-volume-upside-down

[He lights up and scoops her up with a large smile]

Woah! Thos is awesome!!!

[He grins and ruffles her hair]

You did great!

I did? Um, I mean, thank you! I had to find all the right pencil crayons for it. And try to remember what you look like up-closer in that form because you're real teeny.

Yea. Ain't it funny?

[He puts her on the counter and looks around before he opens a jar of marshmallow fluff and hands her a spoon of it]

Don't tell your father

[It's clearly a joke finn would have no issue with the kid having a treat]

(She eats it happily)

Da- (she pauses)

I guess I could call you dad now- Dad, I have a question?

Ask away

How old are you?

Uhhh crap abouttt early 20's... why?

You don’t know your own age? (she asks incredulously)

That makes you only like 10 years older than me…

I don't pay attention

[He pats her head(

So? You're still my kid.

[He tilts his head]

For like your whole life? (she’s joking with him)

Yeah, I am, it’s just weird! I told a couple kids at school that you’re twenty-something and they asked me if that meant you had me at eleven but then I just told them I’m adopted. Also the teachers said something about you being a frat boy when they thought I wasn’t listening. It was hard to listen, but I did!

Ignore the mean people.

And nahhh i'm just built different and people don't like different

Huuh, okay.

I grew up in a collage town with frats and I became the unofficial little brother so that influenced alot of speach patterns and behaviors.

Ohhh. Okay. That makes sense.

(she looks down and fidgets with her hands)

I met someone named Parker the other day, at like the group foster kid support thing some students set up.

Huh... i think I know his uncle. We are both in vet classes.

He said his adoptive mom was someone named Maddie. He was nice enough, but sometimes it felt like he knew more than he should? Kinda like he can look into someone's soul. Scary. He told me I shouldn't take up smoking even if my foster siblings offer it. That and to have hope and stuff. His little sister was there too, and we got to play with a dollhouse.

Oh I know her! Scary bird lady. Tried to punch me once. She's good person though. Just... jumppy. And tiny.

(She nods) He had a couple feathers on him. They looked like two different ones, though.

@drawyour-finalbreath

(She scurries away on instinct and hides behind the couch.)

(It’s Finn, Kai’s mate. He seems a bit confused by the scurrying.)

..Hello?

...

Hii.

Oh!

Hello.

(He turns his head towards her voice and smiles, taking his shoes off.)

(She hums nervously, making herself speak up so he can hear her better.)

How are you?

‘M pretty good.

(He rests his cane against the wall, walking to the kitchen.)

How are you?

I'm okay. Kai and a nice person named Pidge are going to help me with my hair soon.

Sounds great.

Want something to eat?

..Yes please.

Since you're dad's, um, partner, what should I call you besides your name? Or do you want just your name...?

You can call me whatever you’re best with. I’m fine with anything.

By any chance, do you know what’s in the fridge? Did Kai put those braille labels on? I know he was planning to.

Ohh but I don't know what to piiick...

Um, I, I think he did, or at least on some of them? We've got yogurt and juice and leftover rice, plus the usual condiments and stuff...

Are you like starving or do you just want a snack?

Snack? There should be some granola in the pantry cupboard, and um I think Kai also got strawberries. 'Cause I asked. That could be tasty with th-the yogurt?

Sorry, I was uh, asking, are you hungry enough for an actual meal or do you want to eat something small?

I could get take out.

I said snack. I can make the snack myself if you don't want to.

(She stands up and walks over to the fridge, making sure he can hear her footsteps.)

(He nods.)

Alright, I’ll get out of the kitchen then.

(She sighs and makes her snack, bringing it over to a chair once she's done so she can sit and eat.)

I’m gonna be on the couch if you need anything.

Mkay.

(After she finishes her snack, she speaks up again)

How old are you?

24.

Didja know dad doesn't even know how old he is?

(He snorts and laughs.)

Sounds like him.

(She giggles a little)

I heard a couple of the teachers at my school call him a frat boy when they thought I couldn't hear 'em. Is he in a frat or is he just like that?

Uh, no. He’s just like that. Loves the gym.

One time, he got me to go on a run with him and I ran face first into a stop sign.

(She sucks some air through her teeth)

Oh no. Was he holding your arm to help you or are you able to see a little bit enough to run like that usually?

…He was helping me. And I said “I don’t need help.” And then I ran into the sign.

(she stifles the start of a laugh)

Oh gosh. Couldn't have seen that coming- sorry, I mean, uh, shoot, that was unintentional. Did you get a bruise?

You can say see around me.

On my forehead, yeah. Kai laughed his ass off for like a good five minutes after he made sure I was okay.

Yeah, but it sounded like I was mocking that you didn't see the sign.

Goodness. I hope it didn't hurt too long.

Nah, it’s fine.

Not really, no. My hair hid it.

(He grins.)

That's good, wouldn't want people bugging you about it. I think.

Thanks.

I think Kai’s getting home soon. Want to do anything?

(She shrugs)

Um- sorry. I dunno, I don't think so.

Just wondering. I’m reading.

I think Kai has a switch if you want to play.

Audiobook?

I'm good. 's better to not touch the expensive stuff.

Yep.

Alright. Well, I’ll be here if you need me.

Okay.

(The door to the apartment is being unlocked.)

@drawyour-finalbreath

(She scurries away on instinct and hides behind the couch.)

(It’s Finn, Kai’s mate. He seems a bit confused by the scurrying.)

..Hello?

...

Hii.

Oh!

Hello.

(He turns his head towards her voice and smiles, taking his shoes off.)

(She hums nervously, making herself speak up so he can hear her better.)

How are you?

‘M pretty good.

(He rests his cane against the wall, walking to the kitchen.)

How are you?

I'm okay. Kai and a nice person named Pidge are going to help me with my hair soon.

Sounds great.

Want something to eat?

..Yes please.

Since you're dad's, um, partner, what should I call you besides your name? Or do you want just your name...?

You can call me whatever you’re best with. I’m fine with anything.

By any chance, do you know what’s in the fridge? Did Kai put those braille labels on? I know he was planning to.

Ohh but I don't know what to piiick...

Um, I, I think he did, or at least on some of them? We've got yogurt and juice and leftover rice, plus the usual condiments and stuff...

Are you like starving or do you just want a snack?

Snack? There should be some granola in the pantry cupboard, and um I think Kai also got strawberries. 'Cause I asked. That could be tasty with th-the yogurt?

Sorry, I was uh, asking, are you hungry enough for an actual meal or do you want to eat something small?

I could get take out.

I said snack. I can make the snack myself if you don't want to.

(She stands up and walks over to the fridge, making sure he can hear her footsteps.)

(He nods.)

Alright, I’ll get out of the kitchen then.

(She sighs and makes her snack, bringing it over to a chair once she's done so she can sit and eat.)

I’m gonna be on the couch if you need anything.

Mkay.

(After she finishes her snack, she speaks up again)

How old are you?

24.

Didja know dad doesn't even know how old he is?

(He snorts and laughs.)

Sounds like him.

(She giggles a little)

I heard a couple of the teachers at my school call him a frat boy when they thought I couldn't hear 'em. Is he in a frat or is he just like that?

Uh, no. He’s just like that. Loves the gym.

One time, he got me to go on a run with him and I ran face first into a stop sign.

(She sucks some air through her teeth)

Oh no. Was he holding your arm to help you or are you able to see a little bit enough to run like that usually?

(The door to the apartment is being unlocked.)
