No!! [ she blurts that out ]

No, Dad. Don't go alone. If you're going somewhere dangerous, then at least take Barnaby-san with you! I'll stay here in the house and won't leave. So please, Dad...

[oneminutehero]

We already talked about it, sweetie.

[It hadn't been the easiest conversation, and the weariness in his voice attests to that. It's touching how much he's worried about, it really is, but... he'd rather they worry about themselves.]

He's staying with you unless I call. And I will, if I can't handle this on my own.

[He doesn't mention that there's a twenty minute timer on that call, or what it would mean if he didn't.

There's a distant roar in the background.]

--amn. I've got to go, Kaede, stay safe!

[wildmaple]

Dad!! [ that roar was scary. and for a moment, her mind flashed back to when those monsters had entered Somarium and her father had almost died ]

Please please don't get hurt!! Please...

[oneminutehero]

[Very quietly.] I won't.[And then he reluctantly hangs up. Hearing how afraid Kaede is makes him consider re-thinking this plan, but there are people in danger, and... well. He's a hero, isn't he. Or was. Was planning to be again. This is what a hero does.]

[ she knew seeing her dad off to dangerous places was something she did back at home. but this was different. it wasn't Sternbild. and Kotetsu had just arrived only recently. added with their past experiences here, she couldn't help but to be more worried than she was at home.

still, she stayed in her room, tightly gripping on to the Dreamberry, praying for her dad to come home safe this time ]
