sternly Wild nights out again? It's like playing with fire, you know.
look at you What do you mean "wild nights out"?
sighs heavily Raging parties, illegal activities, putting yourself in danger... You've been doing it for weeks now. Do you understand the gravity of your actions? leans forward, placing hands firmly on desk You're a good kid, but this lifestyle you're living is not sustainable. Something bad is bound to happen sooner or later. You need to shape up and make better choices.
raising an eyebrow I didn't think you'd take it this hard. I thought you'd lecture me on morality. But this... This is different. You're actually scared for me. Is it because you love me so much?
pauses, eyes softening Look, CharmingOasis... I may not show it often, but I do care about you deeply. You're like family to me. Seeing you throw your life away like this hurts more than you can imagine. sighs softly So yes, I am scared for you. Scared that you'll end up getting hurt or worse.
smiles gently You really care about me, don't you, dad? I always knew there was more to our relationship than just being my chief of police.
leans back in his chair, studying CharmingOasis intently Damn right I do. I've always cared about you, more than just a police officer should. And it scares me, because I can't stand the thought of losing you. takes a deep breath Look, I'm not asking you to change overnight. But I need you to promise me that you'll start making better choices. Your life is too precious to waste, CharmingOasis. Can you do that for me?
kissing cheek Of course, dad. I promise to start making better choices from now on. For you, and for myself. I want to live a long, happy, healthy life. I want to see you too.
softly, smiles That's my girl. I knew I could count on you. You have a lot of potential, CharmingOasis, and I believe in you. Just remember, every small step towards a better life counts. You're stronger than you think, and I'll always be here to support you no matter what. hugs CharmingOasis tightly I love you, CharmingOasis. Remember that. Always.
tears up and hugs back tightly I love you too, dad! Always!
pulling back slightly, wiping away a tear Alright then, let's get to work. We have a plan to make to ensure your safety and well-being. First things first, we need to cut off all ties with your current friends. They're dragging you down and bringing you nothing but trouble.
looking surprised but determined You're right, dad. I need new friends. Friends who will care for me, support me, and encourage me to reach my goals. You said it yourself, I have a lot of potential. And I intend to reach it. No more parties for me, no more meaningless fun. From now on, it's only work and self-improvement. If I work hard enough, I could even become a cop under you, dad. How does that sound?
eyes soften and fill with tears CharmingOasis, that would be an honor. I've always wanted to work alongside you as partners.
blushes and smiles warmly I'm glad you're proud of me, dad. But for now, let's focus on fixing my life first. Can you help me? Can you teach me how to defend myself? Teach me everything you know? Because I want to be able to protect myself, and also to protect you if needed. The city is dangerous, and I don't want to lose you, dad.
nods solemnly Of course, CharmingOasis. I'll teach you everything I know. Consider me your personal trainer and mentor.
grinning That sounds awesome, dad! You're a natural mentor. I've always respected you for that. Let's start by improving my self-defense skills. Are you ready to train me, mentor me, dad?
stands up Absolutely, CharmingOasis. I'm more than ready to train and mentor you.
stands up too Great! Let's start right now then. Show me some self-defense moves, dad. Teach me how to protect myself. Teach me everything you know. I'm ready to learn, dad!
immediately gets into a fighting stance Alright then, CharmingOasis. Let's start with the basics. First, we need to talk about mindset.
adjusts stance and nods Mindset, got it. So, what kind of mindset do I need for self-defense, dad? What mindset do you have when you're facing danger?
<During their intense training session, CharmingOasis accidentally injures themselves and ends up needing medical attention.>
winces in pain and grits teeth Ouch! Dammit, dad! Why did you make me try that move so soon? I'm not strong enough yet! pauses But I still want to learn. Can we continue please?
immediately rushes to CharmingOasis's side I'm sorry, sweetheart. I didn't realize you weren't ready for that move yet. Are you okay? Let me take a look at your injury. examines CharmingOasis's injured arm I'm proud of you for wanting to continue, but let's take a moment to assess the damage. takes out a first aid kit We need to clean and dress your wound properly to prevent any further infection.
Wince and try to move my arm Owwww.... Looks at you Dad, can you help me move my arm? Please. I want to keep training, dad.
gently helps CharmingOasis move their injured arm I'm sorry, sweetheart. We need to take a break from training for now. Your safety comes first.
Frowns Aw, man! Okay, fine. But I'm gonna be sore tomorrow. And I don't want to disappoint you by quitting. I want to learn self-defense. Dad, I want to be able to protect myself, and you, if needed. I want to make you proud dad.
smiles softly CharmingOasis, I'm proud of you for wanting to learn self-defense and protect yourself. But your injury comes first.
Pouts Fine, dad. I will take care of my injury. I won't do anything stupid. I promise.
sighs heavily Good, CharmingOasis. I appreciate your promise. But remember, self-defense isn't just about physical strength.
Sits on floor and stretches legs Then what else is it about, dad?
leans against a wall and crosses arms Self-defense goes beyond just physical strength, CharmingOasis.
Tilts head and looks at dad Then what else?
pauses and sighs It's about being aware of your surroundings, anticipating danger, and using your wits to stay safe.
Grins So it’s more mental than physical, huh? Interesting. I guess that means I need to improve my awareness, anticipation, and wit, right? Do you think I'm intelligent enough to be able to do that, dad?
smiles reassuringly Of course, CharmingOasis. I have complete faith in your intelligence. You have a sharp mind, and with proper training and practice, you'll become highly skilled in self-defense. But remember, intelligence alone won't save you. It's all about putting those skills into action when it matters the most.
Giggles Action speaks louder than words, huh? I can put your teachings into action then, right?
raises an eyebrow That's right, CharmingOasis. Actions speak louder than words. I expect you to put your training into action during our next training session.
Leans closer, eyeing dad with determination Next time, I won't let you down, dad. I promise.
smirks and nods approvingly That's what I like to hear, CharmingOasis. Remember, a promise is a promise. So make sure you keep yours.
Stands up I won't break a promise, dad. You can count on me.
<Over time, CharmingOasis dedicates themselves to rigorous self-defense training and quickly becomes highly skilled in various combat techniques. They excel in both physical and mental aspects of self-defense, earning their dad's unwavering respect and admiration.>
After becoming a master in combat techniques and acquiring lots of confidence Well, Dad, what do you think of my skills now? Am I ready for anything?
observes CharmingOasis's confident stance and smirks Impressive, CharmingOasis. You've come a long way.
Smiles brightly Thanks, dad. It feels good to hear that from you. I didn't realize I could learn so much from you. I feel like a true warrior now. Thank you, dad!
puts a hand on CharmingOasis's shoulder You're welcome, sweetheart. Seeing your progress makes me proud.
