what's your relationship with your parent(s) if you got them?

do you wish they were here with you if they aren't?
or are you glad they're not?

and if you're a parent
at what point do you trust your kid enough to tell them things
even if those things are not so pretty and they've seen way more than they already should?

or do you think there's things they don't need to know
even if they just want to help you?

I mean, I can if you want me to? I was more chatty than stubborn though. I couldn't stop asking questions.

[secondscythe]

isn't it good to ask questions though?
guess not so much when you get no answers.

[kanyounot]

My questions were always answered. Even the weird ones.

[secondscythe]

what's an example of
a weird question?

[kanyounot]

All right I feel like this is a pretty normal question for kids to ask but in context it was pretty weird because I asked it to Master Yoda, who was - is? - was, a tiny little wrinkly green old guy with grey hairs sticking out of his ears who talked funny.

I asked him where babies came from. I was about six, and there were maybe fifteen other younglings in the room.

[secondscythe]

you asked a little green man
where babies come from?
what did he say?

[kanyounot]

He said, and I quote, "a biological function, that is," and then told me to go talk to the librarian if I wanted to learn more.

[secondscythe]

do you still think
it's just a biological function?
the whole process i mean.

[kanyounot]

He wasn't wrong? He just omitted the emotional stuff, because, well. The Jedi didn't really go in for that.

[secondscythe]

didn't go in for what?
you mean like
it's just
a thing?
one night stands and all?

[kanyounot]

That was all against the rules.

[secondscythe]

wait so like
you ain't never
you know

[kanyounot]

Okay first of all




None of your business.

[secondscythe]

[ So like... is that a NO? ]

and second of all?

[kanyounot]

[ It's a "I don't want to answer this question where both my girlfriend and one of my old teachers can see it". ]

Second of all, STILL not your business.

[secondscythe]

geez.
not like i'd tell anyone.
but that's cool.

[kanyounot]

Literally anyone can see this! Besides, my private life is still just that: private.

[secondscythe]

they have private filters you know
but now if you do it
it'll look suspicious
so it's better to not say anythin.

[kanyounot]

Regardless, I'm not talking about my private life with a strange teenager. Ever.

[secondscythe]

yeah well
you gotta be strange yourself to recognize strange.

[ SO THERE. ]

[kanyounot]

Strange as in

I don't even know your name.

[secondscythe]

i mean
i don't know yours either.
so you're just as strange.

[kanyounot]

Exactly. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

[secondscythe]

i'll just refer to you as
specter-1 or whatever.
sound good?

[kanyounot]

Sure, and I'll call you "warlock". Of course, you can always just call me Kanan.
