Caitlyn’s dad appreciation post

The parenting challenge:

Your daughter dissapears for two days. She turns up breaking into her own room, wounded, and smelling of sewage, brothel and gunpowder, with a complete stranger. Your wife is threatening them with a hunting rifle.

His reaction:

1- Hug. Tight. No questions asked.

2- Give the stranger a good once-over. Like, 5 seconds long. His eyes probably said to Vi thank you ♡ oh… wow, okay… wow… all at once.

3- *Glower* at his wife, upper lip pursed in utter disgust, when she called the person “a stray”.

4- Remove suspicious bits of metal from his daughter’s leg while she rants and curses. Still no questions asked. No eyebrows raised. Only delicately pulling really sharp bits of metal fireflies (okay?) from her leg, while she moves quite a bit.

5- Deploy most powerful weapon in his arsenal, The Puppy Eyes, to obtain permission for his daughter to rest (yes, “rest” with that girl waiting in her bedroom). Of course, The Puppy Eyes work. It gets her an audience with the council AND a moment of intimacy.

[As a side note, Cait is absolutely going to deploy those same Puppy Eyes on Vi, all the time. Vi is so fucked.]

Her dad is definitely where Caitlyn gets *that* attitude from. You know, the “I don’t fear difference and I’m going to treat you like a person and care for you now” attitude? Yeah, it’s from him.
