Artorius, staring blankly up at the ceiling as Amon does... whatever he's doing to Artorius' open abdomen. "You could at least let me sleep while you do this. Are you really so starved for company that you don't bother with letting me be unconscious during surgery?"
That you need to tighten up your definition of a father lest you catch yourself up in it. My wards are also too young to fend for themselves, there is that.
It seems the people of Eorzea yearn for a vaguely responsible figure over the age of twenty.
I ensure /your/ food and shelter some of the time.
Though, point taken, I'm aware. There are.... a few foundlings. A few.
It's not my fault. Except for the times when it is, but look. The children need to be fed.
One of the WoLs asked if I had any other adopted relatives rhey should know about. I don't know?? I called Alphinaud 'champ' once and asked if he was eating properly does that count
“Shouldn’t you be more difficult to summon across the world? I thought you’d be in higher demand.” He’s only kidding, it’s fine.
“Thank you, though. I am... glad having you around.”
The sound of arrival comes much sooner than he’d expected. Takara’s a quick errand-runner— as should be expected of the Warrior of Light, he supposes. Takara is greeted with a small smile (which is saying something for Gaius), and brought in. >
Have you considered taking that as a sign from fate to not inhale whatever biohazard Fandaniel expelled onto the floor? It just seems like a warning sign.
One definitively belongs to you. Or know how many there are. Three, I believe.
Smoking things dropped by the inhuman seems... dangerous.
You can at least know your direct line. You /are/ the father of a perfectly countable number of children in one given timeline.
Varis....... Varis.... please act a /little/ bit responsible, at /least/.
The feeling is mutual, and I'm honoured for it.
After Praetorium, I had hoped my wards would have been given your legion for their draft.

"Yes? Ah, I forgot that wasn't public knowledge." He shrugs. "I run a shelter in Terncliff. Mostly they're a handful of kids Valens planned to use as pilot fodder, but a few other war orphans no one knows their family. Someone has to look out for them."
I am a 56 year old man.

It's fine. So long as you're willing to help in the orphanage.
gaius giving a thumbs up in the background like 'dw i AM still an asshole. have you eaten properly today'
Yeah, it's my house now.
Alternatively, probably Broken Glass. I'd hope Garlemald would also kick him back out but from what I've heard of the Duma, absolute pipe dream there.
You're no different from any of the other people in my general orbit, who I also have general concern for their wellbeing. I'm aware you're capable in a fight, but still.
I was worried you'd /allow/ them. But if not, it's fine, your standards pass.

//gaius, looking at any wol who doesnt actively fight this: ah yes. the wol. who kicked my ass resoundingly and could do so again without batting an eye. because theyre unkillable and stronger than god.
however,
if they open their mouth and say something i need to dad at them about,
No. He as many, he's a perfectly nice and capable individual. He just looks sick sometimes. How well someone will treat you is more of a standard than their looks, and more of a concern for me as a person looking at a young lady saying worrying things.
He has many redeeming qualities, though. You /do/ have standards, then.
That's unfortunate. You should get them back from him.
Estinien????
Then where are your standards, young lady???
//also. fwiw. if theres something you would like me to reply to and i haven't liked the post, pls @ me in it. since i was off for a while i worry if i lost things even tho i did try to doublecheck my mentions feed uxu

An entertainer without standards is an entertainer who lacks pride. :/
