So, I hear you've got an uncontrollable motherly instinct?

Excuse me?

[... And thus, it was so. Axel glares at the local who just spoke to him and then narrows his eyes.]

Don't you talk to me with that attitude. C'mon, your room. Go. And no coming out 'til I say so!

[And he points off camera to send the local pacing off. Now from there he'll turn to his SFC, because, nope, don't think the rest of you aren't let off the hook.]

And what about the rest of you? Shouldn't you be doing something more productive with your life? Honestly, do I have to tell you everything?

((OOC: Mommy Axel expects you to respect him. B| And pick up after yourself. HE'S ONLY TELLING YOU THIS BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU.))

Who's been taking care of you?

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

[Ky legitimately bristles at the question.]

I'm an adult. I take care of myself.

[Video]

[flared]

Says you. I doubt you can do much with just one arm, let alone on your own.

[Sigh... then a little softer, because mommy instincts]

It's ok to ask for help.

[Video]

[Ky spent what felt like a long time trying to prove that he was adult enough to be considered an adult -- from the age of ten onwards, really -- that he's not about to settle into the role of a child easily.]

I don't need it.

[Video]

[flared]

[... Pout]

Are you sure? 'cause I'm not sure.

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

I am.

As soon as my arm is healed I'll be back to normal, and there's nothing to do in between beyond let time pass.

[Video]

[flared]

But that's still not very fun. [Think think think] Are you right or left handed?

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

Right-handed.

[Which would be the arm in the cast. But it might be for the best that Ky's prevented by it from pushing on, because otherwise he would just try to pretend even more so that he's completely fine.]

[Video]

[flared]

[Gasp] Then how do you get anything done?

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

At the moment there really isn't too much I can be doing. It's unsettling.

[Video]

[flared]

[Frown, but he's still being as sympathetic as possible]

You should read. Or... try baking stuff.

[And now a laugh]

That would be precious.

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

[Why is Axel laughing at him?]

I'm not really very good at baking. But I'm doing some reading, and I'm trying to still take walks.

[Along paths he might expect to see the murderer, but he suspects saying he's going on patrols might get him scolded.]

[Video]

[flared]

[Beause the image of you baking thing is too cute!]

But what it walking gets you in trouble? What if you hurt yourself again?

[Forlorn sigh as he places a hand on his head]

More things indoors would be better. And safer.

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

[Ky would object on the grounds that he's not cute. Gosh. He's a police officer.]

Then better me than someone I'm supposed to be protecting.

I'm being somewhat careful about it, but being careful can't be my biggest priority right now.

[He has a duty.]

[Video]

[flared]

[Being a police officer doesn't mean you can't be cute, dude! Come on.]

Can you protect well enough with a broken arm?

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

[ Adulthood precludes cuteness. Clearly! And being a police officer implies adulthood. ]

I can do something, even if I'm not as effective as I would be with it healed.

[Video]

[flared]

[Especially if you're a stripper cop. In which case that's not even cute; that's sexy.

Axel's silent for a little while but then he sighs, defeated.]

If you say so. [And then shortly after that with the best mommy pout which should be exclusive for babies:] You grow up too fast.

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

[Ky would probably spontaneously combust in anger and embarrassment if anyone suggested such a thing as existing.]

I... I've been grown up for a while, and it took plenty long enough.

[Video]

[flared]

But you've still got a baby face, y'know. Not to say you should be hiding it, but, come on, you look way younger than you probably are.

[Still pouting.]

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

That's....What?!

[All the indignation now.]

[Video]

[flared]

[Smile!]

Hah! So cute.

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

I'm not...cute!

[Video]

[flared]

Don't deny it! You should be proud of it. [Finger wag] Show it off, you know?

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

I don't think it's anything to be proud of.

[Now he's confused.]

[Video]

[flared]

What is it with people and not accepting compliments? [Huff!] Just take it for what it is! You're precious and you need to flaunt it.
