Twenty First Race

[ Warden Filter ]

I'm curious. How many of you have kids back home? Or had someone to take care of, anything like that. I'm in a bit of a unique situation because when I first came here I wasn't even in a relationship, and now I'm married with kids, but I think it's done a lot towards helping my inmate. I'm not saying we should treat our inmates like they're our kids, but it's something to think about.

Still grounded, kiddo?

[ Private to Drake ]

I was looking back over our old conversations, and I'd completely forgotten about that assignment I gave you. Made many friends yet?

I'm guardian to my cousin Penny.

Well, there's Elric, but he left. Then there's Marco, and I got along okay with that Wanda girl.

Ever use the things you learn to help your inmate?

I talked to her, she seems nice. That's really all you've got?

He doesn't own quite as many shoes. And I don't believe I'll have to worry about him sneaking off to be with a boy.

But I did learn quite a lot when I was personal guard to his Majesty Prince Alfred, and I am prepared to tackle someone should it be required regardless of their status.

Yeah, I don't think it's exactly the same.

As my cousin? No, she can be quite devious.

I mean taking care of someone, caring about them and... well, raising them, in a way.

Yes, particularly because I'm wardening someone who is older than I am.

Not exactly. But I guess you've got a point, about it helpin' with being a warden.

Costigan's successfully convinced me never to have kids, if that's what you mean.

Trust me, kids are much more rewarding than inmates.

It gives you experience being responsible for someone, I guess.
batmanschmatman: (Smug.)

Whatever you say, I'm still not having any.

At least, not in the next couple of years.

Oh, and Dracula.

I haven't really talked to him, either. So would you call any of these people friends, or just people you've talked to? Because I want you to make actual friends.
knowsthepeople: (Neutral.)

[personal profile] knowsthepeople 2011-07-04 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably. How many kids do you have?

Re: Private

[identity profile] flashy-magic.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd consider them actual friends.

Two, twins. They grow up so fast.

If you ever want to go up in the Warden Only areas with them, just let me know. I can tell their wardens that it's a part of your 'recovery' if I have to.

The difference between them, in my case, could not be more different...

I had six children. All of them are dead, now.

Three children. I'm afraid some of the posts floating around here do rather sound like they come from petulant teenagers.
