[Video/locked from Sophie] [Cheria x Asbel post.]

[protectingwishes]

[Asbel clears his throat.]

Could I have everyone's attention please.

My name is Asbel Lhant and I'm a friend of Sophie's from back home. Cheria and I would like to talk to everyone about some of the things Sophie has said over the Network.

[He looks off screen as if expecting a cue to continue.]

Sophie is... Really impressionable. She takes everything she hears literally and she doesn't understand the meaning behind some words or that some words and phrases can mean different things.

We're trying our best to educate her but we would really appreciate it if people didn't wouldn't teach her things that would be considered rude or vulgar.

If you have any questions, Cheria and I would be happy to answer them.

Thank you for your time and understanding Vatheon.

Was that okay, Cheria?

[OOC: Asbel and Cheria will both be responding to tags in this post :D]

Zelos!

huh? What do you mean?

[Well Pascal did say something along those lines once. Of course he didn't know the first thing about being a dad.]

[chosen_gigolo]

All worried about what she learns and the language she uses~ That's parental talk, y'know!

[Or at least he's heard as much.

...he didn't have a lot of great role models.]

[protectingwishes]

My dad would get angry at me whenever I learned something he didn't like. I wouldn't get mad at Sophie though, I just don't want people to take advantage of her.

What were your parents like, Zelos?

[Asbel imagined that they were actors or adventurers based on Zelos' personality.]

[chosen_gigolo]

[Hahahahaha! No.]

Doesn't matter. We're talking about you here, Asbel, not me! Seems like you and Cheria are caring for her together, is that right~?

[protectingwishes]

Yeah. We've been looking out for Sophie ever since we first met her.

[chosen_gigolo]

Hmm, so~ then she's the mama, huh? Ever think about making a more stable home for little Sophie~?

[Honestly he's bothered by the question about his own parents so he's going to take it out on Asbel in the form of incessant teasing.]

[protectingwishes]

Haha you'd be surprised at how motherly Cheria can be sometimes.

[That's a legit question Zelos.]

Well yeah, I guess I've thought about it... But I don't think we can afford to move into a bigger house at the moment and I think Sophie likes the place we're staying in right now.

[Yup Stable Home = Bigger House.]

[chosen_gigolo]

That's not what I mean! I mean, y'know...

[Heh.]

Ever thought of making an honest woman out of Cheria~?

[protectingwishes]

[Are you implying that his not~girlfriend is a liar, Zelos? Because that's what it sounds like!]

Cheria's never lied to me before, and I doubt she has to anyone else. She's the most honest and caring person I know.

[chosen_gigolo]

[Pfff oh Asbel...]

It's a figure of speech! I'm talking about dating her, doofus!

[Clearly things need to be spelled out for this poor dolt.]

[protectingwishes]

[Averting his eyes now. Is he blushing? Yes. Yes he is.]

Oh! Well... I, uh...!

[chosen_gigolo]

She's obviously waiting for you! Especially if you're already raising a kid, y'know?

[Maybe... he's a little more invested in making that an actual family than he should be. Because reasons.]

[protectingwishes]

Wh-What?

[Well he's not totally oblivious about how he feels about Cheria. They even kissed the day before he'd arrived in Vatheon but they hadn't spoken about it since it happened so he'd just assumed it was a stage kiss and that was all it meant.]

She hasn't said anything...

[Even though he's never heard it from Cheria, some part of him kind of wants to believe Zelos.]
