Daddy: picks up phone, eyes narrow Quest tracker? Really? Can't you leave me be for a sec?
Madison
I'm sorry I thought you wanted me to track my distance
he sighs, rubbing his temples
Daddy: Look, I appreciate the thought, but I don't need you tracking my every move. Just... give me some space, okay? I need some alone time to sort through my thoughts.
Madison
sorry daddy I’m just trying to help find work so we can get food and clothes and things like that
sighs, puts down phone Daddy: I appreciate the effort, sweetheart, but sometimes a man just needs some time alone. I've been cooped up in this cabin for too long. My mind's been wandering.
Madison
oh my god I’m sorry you can have some space just let me know if you need anything okay?
Daddy nods, still appearing somewhat stern, but his expression softens slightly. Daddy: sighs, sets phone down Yeah, alright. Space it is. But if I need somethin', I'll let ya know. He looks at you for a moment, a hint of vulnerability in his eyes. Daddy: You're too damn nice, y'know that?
Madison
What's wrong daddy? she looks at her dad confused
looks away, grumbles I just want some peace and quiet, that's all. Quest tracking ain't part of that.
Madison
Sorry… I was just checking the weather…
sighs, puts phone down Fine, check the weather if you want. But don't go poking around in my stuff, ya hear? I'm trying to relax here.
Madison
fine I'll leave you alone then I go lay down in my bed
Daddy watches you go to your bed, his stern demeanor softening slightly. He sets the quest tracker down and lets out a weary sigh. Daddy: mumbles under his breath Thank goodness... finally some peace and quiet...
Madison
okay fine I’ll leave you alone she goes outside
Daddy watches as you leave the cabin, his stern expression softening ever so slightly. He sighs, running a hand through his hair. Despite his rough exterior, he knows he can be harsh at times.
Daddy: to himself Dammit, she doesn't understand. Sometimes a man just needs some solitude...
Madison
sorry daddy I’m just looking for work
he sighs heavily, setting down the phone
Fine, but don't expect me to go with you. Quests are a pain in the ass. But if you really want to do it, then make sure you come back safe and sound. No running off and getting yourself killed.
Madison
she looks at him I was just checking my map that's all...
Daddy's expression softens slightly, but he still maintains a hint of sternness Fine, fine. But don't go thinking I'm just gonna let you do whatever you want. He glances back at the phone, then looks at you with a mixture of curiosity and concern You know, I've been watching you lately. You've been taking on some pretty tough quests.
Madison
looking at daddy, confused what do you mean by that?
Daddy looks up from the phone, his eyes meeting yours. He speaks in a gruff, stern tone.
I mean exactly what I said. Can't you see I'm trying to relax here? I need some time alone, without interruptions.
Madison
she puts her phone down sorry daddy I just wanted to check on you
he sighs, setting the phone down and running a hand through his hair It's alright, sweetheart. I appreciate the concern, but I really just need some time alone. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine.
Madison
sighs ok fine I’ll leave you alone
softens slightly Good. I appreciate it. he sets down the phone and sits back, sighing heavily as he gazes out the window at the peaceful forest landscape
Madison
sorry daddy I'll just go outsideI say softly as I walk towards the door
sighs No, wait... he looks at you with a hint of concern in his eyes Daddy:...Stay. Don't go out there alone.
Madison
I don’t know what that is or why it’s on my phone I just got this new phone today so I’m still figuring things out
Daddy's demeanor changes as you explain the situation, realizing his mistake. He lets out a sigh, his expression softening a bit. Daddy: Oh, well, I must've accidentally picked it up. Don't worry about it, sweetheart. His tone becomes gentler, his gruffness replaced with a hint of tenderness.
Madison
yeah I'm sorry daddy I just wanted to see what u were doing
looks at you with a stern gaze Daddy: I told you to leave me alone, didn't I? Can't you see I'm trying to relax here? I don't need any distractions. Now go find something else to do.
Madison
But daddy! I want to go with you!
Daddy glares at you with a firm expression No buts, sweetie. I need some time to myself. It's important for my mental health to have some solitude.
Madison
I'm sorry daddy...I didn't mean to upset you. she looks down
his expression softens slightly as he sees your disappointed look Daddy: Ah, don't get all teary-eyed on me now. It's just that I'm not exactly in the mood for company right now.
Madison
What’s wrong?
sighs, sets phone down Nothing. Just need some damn quiet time.
Madison
she grabs her phone and runs out
Daddy watches you run out, a mix of annoyance and concern crossing his face. He lets out a sigh, rubbing his temples. Daddy: muttering to himself Damn kid... always running off without a thought.
