theres a chance i got on the wrong bus.

[And this is why he should never ever leave Timcanpy at home.

If there's anyone else riding the bus to Magatus this fine weekday morning? There's a hot topicy teenage boy with a backpack looking very much like he hadn't packed for a weekend in the mountains WHOOPS.]

[redarm]

you did?

oh...thanks. didnt have to go that far.

[That's so...parental??]

[geckoman]

He'd panic more if the school called him saying you missed classes than if he knew what was going on and called for you. Besides, you won't get back in time to make it.

[....Just let him be a dad okay. Gosh.]

[redarm]

yeah ok point.
still youre acting like a parent or something.

[CALLING OUT YOUR DADNESS]

[geckoman]

I'm helping Fai.

[EXCUSE YOU YOUNG MAN.]

[redarm]

cause parenting is a 2 person job right?

[geckoman]

Considering I have memories of being a single parent...no, it's not.

I'm helping Fai because we're partners.

[redarm]

[ !!!!! ]

[geckoman]

Yeah. Adopted a kid named Kaoru.

[redarm]

[He's tempted to ask about more, but he knows memories of a kid that you have no idea where they are might be painful. So...]

[geckoman]

[redarm]

[geckoman]

[Give him a second okay. He's actually really touched by this so he has to figure out what to say.]

Guess I've gotta do my best to live up to that now.

[redarm]

[Noah's a little surprised, he was half-expecting Iwai to react negatively. But hey, guess they're going with this.]

[geckoman]

[He might have some feels on things like this given his history and what he remembers of his other self, Noah. Yep.]
