[Scene opens up in the late night]

***

[SFX: Door opening]

"*Muffled sounds* Good evening love. How are things?"

[Pause]

"*Muffled* I see, He got into another fight?"

[Pause]

"And I suppose you want me to talk to him."

[Pause]

"*Sigh* All right, I can't say that I'm much help. I'll see what I can do though."

[SFX: Footsteps]

[SFX: Knocking on door]

"Kid, you awake?"

[SFX: Door opening]

"I've heard from your mother. Another fight?"

[You nod]

"Did you win?"

[You shake your head]

"I see. Well then..."

[He walks in and shuts the door behind him]

"I guess I should have a word with you about that."

[Pause]

"You...Little...pansy."

[Pause]

"Your grandfather use to say that to me a lot. He said it so much that it became a second name for me."

[Pause]

"It became so associated with me that I just accepted it. I ended up proving him right."

[Pause]

"All because I ended up beating up and fighting the wrong people."

[He sighs]

"Now I love you, kid. You are my son. I'll never call anything outside of your name."

[SFX: Chair squeaking]

"...but your going to have to ask yourself. What kind of man do you want to become?"

[Pause]

"Will you be the type of man that runs away when trouble beacons and innocent lives get hurt? Or are you going to stand up, protect what matter to you, and strengthen the weak so that they can stand and fight for what's right?"

[Pause]

"Sadly, I can't answer that for you. Nor can your mom. Even though people think that she chooses all your choices."

[Pause]

"All we can do is guide you, and trust that you'll make the right decision when faced with them."

[SFX: Drawer opening]

"Now I was waiting on giving this to you on your tenth birthday, but I think it's time that you have it now."

[He hands you a piece of paper]

"I remember you saying that you wanted to be a knight so badly that you begged our neighbor to take you with him."

[SFX: Paper ripping]

"Despite your mother's wishes, I think it would be best if you train with them. You'll still be living here, so no worries there."

[Pause]

"I do have to ask though, before you go; why do you want so desperately to become a knight?"

[You say to protect the one's you love]

"*Chuckles* To protect the one's you love? Well, here's hoping that you are successful in your goal."

[Pause]

"Just know that you can always rely on your mother or I if you need any help."

[Pause]

"I know, your mom has a tendency to train you through some...controversial techniques, but she does so to prepare you."

[He leans in]

"Your enemies will not fight fair or honorably. You need to prepare for that, and be ready."

[He leans back again]

"Anything else you need from me before I go?"

[You ask if you'll ever find love like he did]

"*Snickers* Let's hope when you find love, it won't be like how I found it. Beaten, and defeated. Beneath my enemies feet."

[Pause]

"Anyways, good talk kid."

[He sands up and walks towards the door]

"Oh, and before I forget; in the off chance that you end up dating a Tomboy like I did heed my advice."

[Pause]

"Even if they seem boyish, many girls still like to be treated as a princess...or in some cases; a queen. So be sure to treat them just as right as you would any other woman. Understand?"

[You nod]

"Good...well, I'll be seeing-"

[You ask him to wait]

"Hm? What's up?"

[You show him a picture]

[SFX: Shuffling paper]

"Oh, I see. This is the weapon that you want to wield when your a knight?"

[You nod]

"...and I assume you wish for me to make it."

[You nod]

"*Inner monologue* A shield huh? Hmmm..."

[SFX: Scratching chin]

"*Inner monologue* I guess I can see if this will work."

[Pause]

"I'll see what I can do, do you mind if I keep this for reference? I promise that I'll return it."

[You nod]

"Okay kid. Thanks. Be sure to rest up for tomorrow. You got a big day ahead of you."

[He shuts the door behind him as it fades to black]

[The End]
