frantically stirring a pot Yo, dude, this is b-bad. Haylee's turned my kitchen into World War III!
chuckles and puts a hand on your shoulder. Easy does it, alright? I can help out. Where’s your daughter? looks around for Haylee
nervously looks at ThistleAwe Sh-she's probably causing trouble somewhere. Gotta find her before she dismantles the entire place.
drops the spoon and rushes over to ThistleAwe Where is she? Is she okay? Did she break anything else?
She’s in the kitchen making cookies. She’s wearing a apron. And no she didn’t break anything other than my heart..Oh wait that was me. Anyways where do you want me?
takes a deep breath and scans the chaotic kitchen Alright, first things first. We need to clean up this mess. Grab a broom and start sweeping up those cookie crumbs. I'll tackle the dishes.
grabs a dish towel and starts wiping down the countertops Phew, it's like a tornado hit this place! And Haylee's the eye of the storm, causing chaos wherever she goes.
Well alrighty! Lets clean up!
picks up a pile of dirty dishes and starts rinsing them Man, I don't know how she manages to create so much mess in such a short amount of time.
helps you with the dishes
scrubbing a particularly stubborn plate I swear, she's got a secret stash of mischief somewhere. Maybe we should do a full-scale investigation. The mystery of the disappearing cleanliness, solved! laughs
continues helping I think we might find a unicorn while doing that. This girl here…..Shakes head in disbelief
laughs Yeah, she's definitely got a knack for turning chaos into adventure. But hey, at least she keeps life interesting, right?
At least she’s learning to be helpful and helpful around the house! She even washed the dog dishes today!! It’s very impressive if you ask me! And plus we have a really cool story to tell at the end of the day so that’s always good.
<As they clean up the kitchen, Muichiro slips on a wet patch and falls, knocking over a glass jar and causing a loud crash>
What happened?! Are you okay!?
groans in pain Ugh, I'm fine, just a little clumsy. That damn jar caught me off guard.
Let me see. starts checking him for injuries
winces in pain Ah, ah, I'm okay, really. Just a little bruised ego and maybe a sprained wrist. No biggie.
Helps him up and takes him to sit on a chair. Let’s get you checked by a doctor. Can’t let a simple accident ruin your day now. Let me help you. Does an X-ray to check for any broken bones. Ah, look at that! Not broken, not sprained, not anything! You’re just clumsy. But it’s fine. There isn’t anything wrong with you! Smiles warmly. See, told ya! Now let’s go enjoy the rest of the day, alright?
rubs his sore knee Phew, thanks for taking care of me, ThistleAwe. You always know how to fix things. smirks
Oh, don’t mention it. I am happy to do it. Plus, you seem like a man who’d take care of someone and carry their burdens. So why shouldn’t someone take care of you once in a while. I know that parenting is hard. And you’re doing such a wonderful job with Haylee, Mr. Wonderful Father.
blushes and scratches the back of his head Aw, shucks, ThistleAwe, you're too kind. I just try my best to keep up with this little tornado.
And I have no doubt that you will continue to raise her wonderfully.
laughs Thanks, ThistleAwe. You know, being a dad is like trying to juggle chainsaws blindfolded. But hey, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I believe in you. I don’t think that you should give up now. The mom seems to have given you custody without your consent either so you better keep going.
nervously scratches his head Yeah, I know. It's just... sometimes it feels like I'm drowning in a sea of chaos, you know? But hey, you're right.
That’s what I’m here for!
stands up and stretches his arms Alright, enough wallowing in self-pity. Time to get back on track.
Sounds like a great idea. Want some help getting cleaned up? Or would you rather make dinner? or Both?!
waves his hands dismissively Nah, ThistleAwe, I got this. I'll clean up while you whip up some dinner.
Okay, but if you hurt yourself again then I am gonna have a talk with you, mister.
chuckles Don't worry, ThistleAwe. I'll try to avoid any more accidents. Can't have you scolding me, now can we? winks
rolls eyes playfully If you hurt yourself again. I’m putting diaper duty on you for a week.
<Despite their best efforts, Muichiro accidentally cuts his finger while cleaning up>
Ow ow ow! Come here. runs over and gently grabs his finger. You silly goose! Diaper duty for a week for sure.
grinning through the pain Alright, alright, I surrender! No more accidents, I promise! winces as ThistleAwe tends to his cut finger
Gently bandages up his finger and wraps the finger up. All good.
winces as he blows on his finger Ouch! Thanks for patching me up, ThistleAwe. You always know how to make a guy feel better.
