oaths are a big deal
but family should be more important

[Sons should be more important.]

he abandoned me
Finn
Finn in the forest when he was a baby
i met him for the first time a couple years ago
when i was still Finn
he tricked me into breaking him out of cosmic prison with a bunch of other criminals, ditched me when the Lich broke out and took my right arm

he isn't a good guy
downright negligent

[Dads amirite.]

[droptheious]

[He doesn't respond to that first part. He knows he should be angry at his father- for all the ways he failed him. It was deeply frustrating- and yet he can't find it in him to blame Quirin completely. He still made his own choices and they were terrible ones.]

That's... really awful. I mean. I think that's beyond negligent and goes into abusive territory honestly? I'm sorry that happened to you. It's crappy that it happened at all.

[laminae]

[Abusive, not negligent. That's the first time he's heard Martin described like that, and he isn't sure how to feel about it.]

ha ha well
i haven't had much luck with the wizard who made the grass sword either
he still considers me his property
and my adoptive dad died years ago

i think we both have bad luck with dads

[droptheious]

Yeah okay, but mine was... not this bad? I mean. He never called me his property. Fern, that's deeply worrying are you okay?

[Fern is very clearly not okay, they have already established this. ]

I'm sorry you've had a really bad time with dads. I mean mine isn't perfect but at least he cares?

[laminae]

yeah i'm fine

[He's really not, but yanno.]

it's cool
my adoptive dad wasn't perfect either but he cared a lot too

[droptheious]

Well. I'm glad you got ONE not-terrible parent. That's got to be worth something, I guess.

it doesn't really make up for the terrible ones, but it's better than nothing.

[laminae]

it's worth a lot

[Finn wouldn't be who he was - and by extension Fern - if it wasn't for Joshua. His love for his adoptive dad are some of the few feelings he knows how to handle.]

i miss him pretty much every day

[droptheious]

I can understand that. Decent people are few and far between sometimes, huh?

[He's not without his own parental loss, but he doesn't remember his mother. It's hard to miss what you never had. But he remembers how it felt when he thought his dad was gone forever. He'd do anything to avoid being in that dark hole again.]

[laminae]

yup
there are a few good people here
some real jerks too

[Some people who deserve to die.]

[droptheious]

Yeah. I've found some really good people here. Not too many jerks unless you count the giant robot.

[laminae]

oh yeah i heard about that guy
there's another
well he isn't a robot
he's an android
his name's K something something something
a bunch of numbers and letters
he's cool

[droptheious]

He wouldn't explain anything about himself, which quite frankly, is rude. I only wanted to learn. Is the K -numbers guy happy to talk about himself? I honestly just want to learn more about robotics- it's not a lot to ask for.

[Maybe he shouldn't yell at them when they want some privacy, but whatever. ]

[laminae]

probably, he doesn't try to keep it hidden, you know?

[Not like these two idiots and all the secrets they're trying to keep on the down low.]

i'm pretty sure if you say you're a friend of mine he won't have a problem

[droptheious]

That makes a refreshing change. And cool, thanks, I'll check in on him.

[Turns out not everyone is full of depressing self-loathing secrets. ]
