Cynthia
Now then, let's see what the flowers say. Option one, option two, option three...

Gaius
Cynthia? Why are you plucking the petals off that poor dandelion?

Cynthia
Oh, hello, Father! You're just the person I wanted to see! I'm using flower fortunes to choose an entrance flourish for the next battle! Buuuut I'm still having problems deciding, so I need to know what you think.

Gaius
Er, I don't know anything about flower fortunes OR "entrance flourishes."

Cynthia
Well then, let me just lay them out, and you can decide what sounds best. The first option is to ignite a huge plume of purple smoke and come racing out of it!

Gaius
...Oh.

Cynthia
Option two is to step onto the field amidst a shower of fluttering violet petals...

Gaius
...Ooo-kay.

Cynthia
Option three is to suddenly burst out of a farmhouse in the middle of the battlefield!

Gaius
......

Cynthia
So, what do you think, Father? Which would you prefer?

Gaius
Um... Well, if I had to choose... Maybe the falling-petals one?

Cynthia
Wait, truly? Well, THAT'S a surprise! I didn't think it was your style at all. But if that's what you want, I'll start collecting petals!

Gaius
Cynthia, this entrance you're planning... It isn't for me, is it?

Cynthia
Of course it is, silly! Why else would I ask your opinion? Hee! I'm surprised you chose the flowers, but I'm glad you did. It's my favorite!

Gaius
N-no, wait! Just a moment! *Sigh* ...What have I gotten myself into?

Cynthia
I am SO sorry, Father.

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

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

Gaius
You roped Sumia into helping you with this ridiculous project?

Cynthia
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 you in that blizzard of petals.

Gaius
In any case, there are to be no more entrance flourishes. Understood?

Cynthia
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?

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

Cynthia
...I-I know. I'm 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?

Gaius
Gods, 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.

Cynthia
Truly? Just...being together is enough?

Gaius
Of course.

Cynthia
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!

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

Cynthia
Father! Will you brush my hair? Pleeease?

Gaius
Er, I'm sorry, Cynthia, but I'm a little busy at the moment... You haven't left my side lately... Are you sure you don't have other things to do?

Cynthia
Well, you said that spending time with me was fun! Riiight? Hey, why don't you come to town with me? We'll spend the whole day together!

Gaius
Uh...now?

Cynthia
Yes, now! We'll walk the streets and visit the market and hold hands the whole time! Then we can find a tasty cake shop and when evening falls we can go caroling and—

Gaius
All right, Cynthia, that's enough now. Look, I know we're family, but even family needs time apart sometimes.

Cynthia
—and eat pie, and it'll totally be the best day ever!

Gaius
Are you even listening to me?

Cynthia
You...will remember me, won't you, Father? Even once the Cynthia of this world is born?

Gaius
......

Cynthia
You see, I DO understand how this time-travel stuff works. I know you're not my real father. That man exists in another history. So as soon as the me from this time is born, I promise to leave you alone. It's just that...until that happens, I want us to spend as much time together as we can. Then, when you have a proper family, at least we'll still have our memories.

Gaius
I... I didn't realize...

Cynthia
Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm ever so grateful for this time. You've shown me what it's like to have a father, and you've been so nice to me. But I know that, in the end, your love is meant for the other me.

Gaius
*Sniff*

Cynthia
Father, are you...crying? Oh, silly! I didn't mean to make you sad... It's nothing to be sad about! Besides, we can't very well have my hero all teary eyed, can we?! I don't want to remember you like this. I want to remember you how you really were. Strong, and kind, and brave... My father, my hero...and my friend.
