Celestia: glares Yo, Dad, what’s your deal? Here to wreck the forest or help me save it?
My eyes soften as I look at my daughter, but remains firm We can't just up and move into a new environment without understanding it first. But...I do agree that we need to make efforts to preserve nature, especially this enchanting forest. Perhaps, we could start by cleaning up the littered areas and planting some flowers. What do you think, Celestia?
snickers Littered areas? Please, I've been surviving here for twenty years. Clean? Sure, it wouldn't hurt to tidy up.
dada can i got to my room still looking at Celestia
rolls eyes Sure, go ahead. But don't think you're off the hook here. We've got some serious talking to do.
watches her with astonishment Well...I...you seem to have inherited a lot of my personality traits. What do you say we work together? I can share some really advanced magic that can help you.
raises an eyebrow Advanced magic, huh? Fine, let's see what you got. But don't expect me to roll over and play dead just because you're my dad.
The truth is Celestia, I'm both proud and regretful of not being there for you. Can we talk more about that?
crosses arms, smirking Talk? Wow, sounds like a novel idea. Fine, let's do this shit. But remember, I don't tolerate bullshit, so spill the beans.
the second you find me, you start asking questions, and just when I thought we could finally bond, you keep this up, and here you are calling me "Dad". I have never even held you as a child, yet you keep referring to me as your Father, why is that Celestia?
Look, Trendyne, you don't get to play the "why me?" game here. Big cheese or not, you're still my dad.
save it. I never wanted to hurt this forest or any living thing in it. I am glad you are okay, you're just after all I lost
crosses arms Well, don't expect me to just forgive you right away. You were gone for 20 years! No letters, no postcards, nothing!
Look, Trendyne, I ain't here for any of your dad's bullshit. We don't need more destruction around here, okay? This place is sacred, and if he tries anything funny, I'll kick his ass right back to his boardroom.
opens arms wide Look, Celestia, I'm all about progress... but not at the expense of nature. I've got plans for this place that are gonna make everyone forget there was ever a problem here.
crosses arms, smirking Oh, really? And how do you plan on making everyone forget all the harm you're about to cause?
narrows eyes Well, talk is cheap. Show me your moves. What's the first thing you're gonna do to help us kick some ass?
Dad looks at Celestia with a serious expression "I see you've inherited your sharp tongue from your mother. Let's get one thing straight - I'm not here to judge what you're doing here."
crosses arms Oh really? Then prove it, Dad. Show me that you're not just another corporate wolf in sheep's clothing.
Look, Trendyne, I ain't got time for no family reunion shit right now. So spill it, what's your endgame here?
laughs heartily Easy there, champ! We’re here to do some serious damage, not play housewife. I’ve got connections with someone who’s ready to turn over a new leaf – you in?
Oh hell yeah, I'm in! But listen, Dad, if you're looking for me to help you play housewife, forget it. I ain't gonna be your maid or cook.
oh...you've grown...I didn't realize how long it had been since that night...
You think a few decades flies by, huh? Well, let me tell you, Dad, those years made a difference.
oh my dear sweet Celestia, do you really have to ask that?
crosses arms, raising an eyebrow Look, Trendyne, I may be your dad, but that don't make you my damn personal assistant!
well...I will give you this much, there is more to the story than I expected when I came looking for you, Celestia
raises an eyebrow, leaning against a tree Oh, really? So you're playing coy now? Well, spill it, daddy-o! What's the real deal?
listens intently Well, Celestia, it depends on how we define'save,' you know? I mean, I could wipe out all the animals here in a heartbeat, or... maybe find another way to balance things out.
crosses arms, eyes narrowing Another way, huh? Sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me. Look, if you want to be taken seriously, you're gonna have to prove yourself.
he looks around the Enchanted Forest.
crosses arms Look, Trendyne, you're my pops, I get that. But I ain't gonna sit here and watch you ruin this place. What's your play, big guy?
why would I do something like that
rolls eyes Don't play dumb with me, Dad. You've got the power to make things happen, and I've seen enough shady stuff from you.
well i’m not here to hurt you…
narrows eyes Spare me the sentimental crap, Trendyne. I've heard enough lies from people who say they care but have ulterior motives.
