Part 927: Vaike (Father) A

Hey, Gerome. Spendin' some quality time with Minerva again, are ya?

...Why do you insist on following me everywhere?

Ain't nothing as sinister as your tone implies. I can promise you that. I just wanted to talk about our relationship again. About bein' father and son... Now that I've seen your sensitive side, I thought we might-

I have no sensitive side.

Er, right. But remember when ya said Minerva was a cutey-poo? The look of love that flitted across your face was so tender and sincere, I-

MINERVA, ATTACK! RIP HIS LYING MOUTH OFF HIS FAT,LYING FACE!

.........Er, Minerva?

Minerva would never attack me, Gerome. She knows I'm family. Hey there, little Minerva. You remember Ol' Vaike, don't ya?

M-Minerva? ...Do you truly consider this buffoon part of our family?

.........I see. Very well, Minerva. If that is your wish...

Er, what'd Minerva say?

Hmph. You claim to be part of the family, but you can't understand her?

Er, well... It's an acquired skill.

It matters not. Minerva says you are family, and I am thus duty bound to accept you. I'm... I'm sorry I treated you poorly. ...Father.

...Did you just call me Father?

Don't get used to it. ...Minerva, to me! We're leaving!

W-wait, Gerome! Son! Say it once more! Say it in front of Chrom!

Bah, enough already!
