Part 740: Frederick (Father) B

I am SO sorry, Father.

I should hope you are! You nearly buried me alive under all those blasted petals!

I know. I asked Mother to help out, and we ended up collecting thousands!

You roped Sumia into helping you with this ridiculous project?

Of course! We wanted to do something special for our dear father and husband! But you DID look really dashing and heroic out there in the field!...At least, you would have, if anyone could have seen ou in that blizzard of petals.

Well, in any case, there are to be no more entrance flourishes. Understood?

Aww, but I had SO many more wonderful ideas! ...Can I at least pick a special catchphrase for you to shout at the start of battle?

Cynthia! War is a serious business. We're not playing games out there.

...I-I know. I'm so sorry. I just want to make you happy and give us something fun to talk about and... Oh, pegasus poop! I just don't know what to do! I mean, what ARE fathers and daughters supposed to do together?

Cynthia, don't be silly. You don't have to make such an effort to think of fun things for us to share. Just spending time with you is enough for me.

Truly? Just... being together is enough?

Of course.

Oh, Father! You're SUCH a great guy! It's no wonder Mother fell in love with you! Even if you're just being polite, you're doing it because you like me! You're the BEST!

Unnngh... Cynthia... D-don't hug...so tight... Can't b-breathe... C-crushing... ribs...
