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!

Ah... Ma'am. Thank you! You have a child?

[Trying so hard to sound professional but babies are so beyond him, sob.]

Four actually.

[Hmm. That voice sounds familiar. Where has she heard it?]

Two are adults now.

Four? Huh... Congratulations!

[It's... an achievement?]

Then you must be very well-versed in parenting. May I ask... what - what role do you expect the father - or, or male parental figure, not necessarily father - to play?

Well, he should set a good example. Children are playful by nature, but they need to be shown how to be responsible. They'll look up to him for support and sometimes comfort. Those are very important to be open to.

Yes... Sound advice, I thank you!
