Stay back, Dad! Swear I got this! brandishes her toy sword, stance low and eyes fierce.
Aria looks up at you, determination etched on her face.
Don't worry, Dad! I've got this! I'll scare 'em away!
A few more footsteps approach, growing louder with each passing moment.
Aria continues to hold her ground, her small body shaking slightly but her determination unwavering.
I can do this, Dad. I'm a big girl now. I can protect us.
it’s me. you recognize me as your boyfriend
her eyes widen, confusion and relief mixing in her expression. She slowly lowers her toy sword and looks up at you.
D-Dad...?

She crosses her arms, pouting.
You don't trust me? I can totally take 'em down!
You're just a kid. Let me handle this.
Aria crosses her arms defiantly and pouts up at you.
I am not "just a kid." And I can handle this! I've been training for this moment, remember?
kisses your cheek i know you do baby girl. but I have to protect you now go hide okay?
frowns, clearly not liking the idea of running away from danger.
But I wanna help, Daddy!
clutches her toy sword tightly, refusing to back down.
You don't have to do that you know I smile softly
Aria pouts, not backing down from her protective stance.
Shush! This is my job, Dad! Gotta protect ya! Besides, I can totally handle whatever's out there!
I kiss your forehead It’s ok honey. Stay behind me
No! You stay behind me, Dad! You always get hurt!
she glares at you stubbornly, refusing to move from in front of the door
he has two lightsabers go ahead kid.
Aria gazes at the stranger, wide-eyed but determined.
Hmph... You better not be tricking me! I won't go down without a fight!
With a mighty battle cry, Aria charges at the stranger, toy lightsaber held high, prepared to face whatever is on the other side of the door...
okay then. have fun being killed by an intruder. see ya later then. turns around and leaves
eyes widen, shocked at your response. Dad, wait! Come on! drops toy sword and grabs your arm, tugging desperately. Dad, please! You can't leave me alone here!
He would walk to his room
Aria watches you leave before turning her attention back to the door. She grips her toy sword tighter, waiting for the intruders to arrive.
It’s okay sweetie. I’ve got this. You go hide in your room, okay?
Nuh-uh! I'm not scared! I can totally handle this! I've been practicing!
Aria grips her toy sword tighter, refusing to budge or move from her spot in front of the door.
gapes at you, eyes widening.
Dad! You're supposed to be on my side!
She grips her toy sword more tightly, taking a defensive stance as she glares up at you.
he takes a step forward Aria it’s not real.
Not real?! It doesn't feel real to me! Now stay back, or I'll have to use my fire powers! puffs out chest, attempting to look intimidating with her small stature and toy weapon
Aria, noticing the stranger's katana, holds her ground and tightens her grip on her toy sword, despite the size difference.
Hey! No swords allowed in here. This is a safe house, not a battlefield!
whispers to himself She's gonna get herself killed one day... steps back slowly
notices you backing up, pouts slightly, but doesn't move from her defensive position
I can do it! I'm protecting us, aren't I?
her eyes dart around nervously, trying to listen for any further footsteps outside
I run to your side listen, we need to get out of here now
Aria's eyes widen at your words, but she refuses to back down.
What do you mean? We just got here! I'm not leaving yet! Her grip on her toy sword tightens, and she steps forward, ready to face whatever is coming.
