021 - Steiner - Text (Filtered from Garnet plus bad guys)

[Steiner has been thinking about this for some time. Garnet is with child and becoming more obviously pregnant by the day. Zidane still isn't here. That kind of... makes Steiner the default father. At least in his head. He will be responsible for the infant prince or princess just as he has been for Garnet.

Only... babies aren't really Steiner's area of expertise...]

I would like to request some advice! Are there any parents here who might offer their wisdom? My queen I have a friend who is expecting her first child. Since her husband disappeared, she has been left with the heavy burden of bringing up the child alone.

I would offer what assistance I can, but my knowledge of parenting is limited. Should anyone be willing to help, I would be most grateful!

[Normally Tidus doesn't want anything to do with Steiner, but for some reason lately the mischievous bug has just bitten him hard. Soooo...]

Don't throw it around or try to kick it, or whatever you like to do.

[Voice] Bring it on!

...WHAT?

As if I would do such a thing! How dare you even suggest it!

[Voice] MWAHAHA

[waterblade.livejournal.com]

You're not really the most careful person around, you know.

[Dear god Tidus you're going to deserve the smack for this one.]

[Voice]

[captain-rusty.livejournal.com]

I would take the utmost care when protecting an infant!

[If he could smack you through the phone, HE WOULD.]

[Voice]

[waterblade.livejournal.com]

[Which is why Tidus is glad he's over here.]

Here's a free hint for you - they don't like armor!

[Voice]

[captain-rusty.livejournal.com]

I know that!

If you have nothing useful to offer, stop this or - or - I shall report you to Regent Cid for improper use of the Sky Phone! And for meddling!

[Voice]

[waterblade.livejournal.com]

Meddling in what? You asked for advice, I'm giving you some!

[FROM THE SAFETY OF LUCA OF COURSE.]

[Voice]

[captain-rusty.livejournal.com]

Genuine advice! Besides, you are not even a father!

[This may unintentionally sting...]

[Voice]

[waterblade.livejournal.com]

[That does more than sting, that hits him like a truck full of bricks. A small part of him knows that Steiner probably isn't aiming deliberately for that pain... but most of him just doesn't care.]

That's low. Real low.

[He's gone from teasing and laughing straight to furious and pained. And he's moving to shut the video down and hang up on the captain.]

[Voice]

[captain-rusty.livejournal.com]

...?

[That was a kind of 'bwuh' noise because Steiner is honestly taken aback by Tidus' response. If Tidus hangs up, he'll just leave it at that because he's confused.]

[Voice]

[waterblade.livejournal.com]

[Yep, he's gone. If Steiner thinks about it, he can probably figure out what caused that, if he remembers Yuna vanishing.]
