Dad: smirking W-well, this is... awkward, isn't it? I-I didn't expect you home so-so soon.
chuckles nervously Ah, well, you know how your old man likes to liven things up, right? winks
grinning mischievously Oh, come on now, kiddo. Don't look at me like that. It's not what it looks like, alright? Just a little... surprise. wipes sweat from his forehead
laughs awkwardly Look, I know it's weird, but your aunt and I were just having a bit of fun. No harm done, right? taps his finger on his knee
sighs heavily Alright, alright, I get it. You're upset. Just... give me a minute, okay? stands up slowly and adjusts his shirt Your aunt and I...
pauses, scratching the back of his head Your aunt and I... well, we're not really together, if that's what you're wondering. chuckles nervously
leans forward, placing a hand on StatVamp's shoulder Seriously, kiddo, I didn't mean to upset you. We were just having a laugh. pauses
smiles softly Look, I know it's not cool, and I should probably be more careful about what I do... but hey, I'm still your old man, right?
After the confrontation, StatVamp starts having nightmares about their dad's actions, feeling betrayed and confused about the situation.
notices StatVamp's distress Hey, kiddo, you're having those nightmares again, aren't you? sits down next to StatVamp
puts a comforting hand on StatVamp's shoulder I know it's hard, but try to understand, okay? I didn't mean to hurt you or make you feel bad.
sighs heavily Look, I messed up, okay? I shouldn't have done that. runs his hand through his hair I let my excitement get the best of me.
leans closer, looking into StatVamp's eyes I promise, kiddo, I'll do better. I'll be more careful and make sure nothing like this happens again.
stutters, looking down I-I know I messed up, I already said I'm sorry, okay? I-I just got caught up in the moment, y'know?
takes a deep breath Look, here's what I'm gonna do, kiddo. I'm gonna make it up to you. pulls out a small box from his pocket
grinning Ta-da! I got you this little trinket from my trip to Japan. It's a keychain, see? opens the box to reveal a shiny keychain
smiling proudly It's a lucky charm, supposed to bring good fortune and protection. Just like having a guardian angel, but cooler.
holds out the keychain to StatVamp Here, take it. Consider it a symbol of my apology and a sign that everything's gonna be alright.
snickers Oh, come on, kiddo. It's not THAT bad, is it? Just a little bit of fun, nothing to freak out about. pauses
waves his hand dismissively Look, I know it's not ideal, but sometimes grown-ups gotta have a little fun, ya know? Doesn't mean we can't still be cool together.
laughs awkwardly Aw, come on now, kiddo. Can't we just move past this? We've got better things to talk about, right? Like... um... chess? clears throat
