[ Patrolling and training….he really took it seriously, huh. ]

You don't have to listen to me, you know. [ He is just a guy!! Listen to your own heart, Hunter!!!! ] But I'm glad you've found something to occupy your time with.

[ Even if a kid his age would normally be interested in other activities. Which begs the question: ]

Say, do you usually find yourself in situations where you have to prepare for some kind of attack?

[newphew]

[ to be fair, his own heart is also saying patrolling and training!!! so he can be useful. and he likes rules and authority, like any normal teen! ]

[ these are all normal things, right ]

[ hunter just shrugs at that ]

Doesn't everyone?

[ even hexside is dangerous ]

[frostfist]

[ This is not a normal thing for most kids, no. But is anyone here really normal?? ]

Depends where you're from, I suppose. I didn't do much patrolling when I was your age.

[ Because he was in JAIL but that's besides the point. ]

But as long as it's not impacting your health, then there's nothing wrong with keeping up the habit.

[newphew]

What did you do when you were a teenager?

[ the scars, scratches, and permanent eyebags seem to indicate that perhaps his health my be a tiny bit impacted, but hunter clearly does not see an issue ]

Of course it's not! I slept in until 6 am.

[ he's so proud of himself ]

[frostfist]

[ He did many things as a teenager, but instead of answering with any of the myriad options he chooses to deflect and ask: ]

And when did you go to bed?

[ 6 am ain't sleeping in, bud. ]

[newphew]

The same time I normally do. I'm not slacking off.

[ has he ever gotten a good night's rest in his life? sources point to no ]

[frostfist]

Oh, I'm not worried about that. If anything, I'm worried that you might be doing the opposite.

[ Spit it out, bud. ]

[newphew]

What are you talking about?

[ is this a compliment.... wrio are you complimenting him... ]

[frostfist]

Overexerting yourself, working yourself to the bone without enough rest…

[ He ticks off the answers on his fingers. ]

It's all good and well to be hardworking [ is this the compliment hunter wanted ] as long as you're taking care of yourself in the process. Which includes sleeping enough, might I add.

[newphew]

[ blank stare as if he's never heard of this in his life ]

[ probably because he hasn't. this is all normal? who sleeps anyway? pshh ]

I'm fine! I can handle it. Anyway, weren't we going to eat?
