[>Tickets to a show?]

Well, you're certainly plenty excited.

[Athrun closes the door behind Midori.]

There was a show you wanted to see, wasn't there? Did you get some tickets?

[prettytamer]

Yep! Two tickets, one for me and one for you! They're not front-row or anything but it's totally worth it!

Athrun couldn't help but wonder when he agreed to go, but it wasn't like he cared. As a matter of fact, he really enjoyed spending time with Midori, despite how eccentric she could be at times.]

That's fine, I don't care where we sit as long as I can make out detail. But what about the show itself? I don't know a whole lot about it, so would you mind explaining about it a bit?

[prettytamer]

There's a toku show called Steel Rider that went off the air, but they're bringing it back for another season, and to celebrate they're doing a show with a live audience!

My daddy used to be a stunt man in the first season. [She tries to sound casual about this, but it's not hard to guess that it's her main reason for being interested.] Thanks for coming with me.

[>Ask her about her dad

Athrun's a bit skeptical, but he's perfectly willing to go so he and Midori can spend some more time together. Plus to make Midori happy. They haven't talked about their parents much, though (and deliberately so in Athrun's case), so he's curious about that.]

Really? I think that's the first time you've ever mentioned what your dad used to do. How long was he a stuntman?

[prettytamer]

Years and years and years. Not for the same show obviously, but for a lot of stuff with superheroes and action men. He told me stories all the time about the shows he was in.

[Midori seems to be reminiscing...

>Ask more
>Talk about your parents
>Ask why this hasn't come up before
>Just let her talk]

[infinitejustice]

[>Ask more

Looking back into the past...well, she's gotten into it. Might as well prompt her to help her along.]

Got any particular favorite stories? I've got time to listen.

[prettytamer]

Of course!

[Midori goes into a long story about actors on a set, the fans, and how superheroic some actors can act even off the air. I'm too lazy to make anything up and nobody rescued a cat from a tree, but it's a feel-good story okay.]

[infinitejustice]

[Athrun listens intently. He doesn't interrupt, and only speaks when she expects him to.]

I can tell that this means a lot to you. You speak of this with such...adoration.

[prettytamer]

Daddy's my hero.

[That's the long and short of it.]

[infinitejustice]

That's good. It's always good when you're able to look up to your parents.

[Unfortunately, Athrun can't do that anymore.]

[prettytamer]

Yeah. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't.

[Probably the lockdown would've gone way differently...]

[infinitejustice]

Well, you can, and that's what matters. There's no use dwelling on the what-ifs in life.

[prettytamer]

What about your parents?

[The inevitable question.]

[infinitejustice]

...I...

[Awkward pause.]

I...don't like to talk about them.

[prettytamer]

...I'm sorry.
