Yo. So I've kinda got a question for people who've done this whole [waving a hand] "hero thing" before, or gotten involved in these sorta fights. What do you tell your family 'n all that about - this whole mess? Do ya tell them anything? 'Cause ma came to the big city for New Year's, an' we were talkin' about things... I just wasn't sure what to say.

I don't wanna go scarin' her, or get her involved in this mess. But I don't wanna lie.

Any thoughts?

[Locked to his team:]

And by the way, ma brought a hamper of stuff to share with friends. Shit, you'd think she was trying to make me explode: I've got enough here to keep me goin' for weeks. So... I wanna split this with you guys. You up for it?

Some plans do, but it becomes second nature when you start to run several companies and attend university.

If I didn't think ahead I would get bored anyway.

[realmenknitplushies]

[Yeah, he's probably not looking all that enthusiastic here. So, is she going to actually give him advice or just keep on saying how awesome she is?]

Eh, closest I'm gonna come to that is the family business. [Shrug.]

[divine_spirits_universe]

[She always had to spend some time on saying how awesome she was.]

The best advice I can give would be to consider what sorts of things you expect yourself to end up doing, and then giving your parents the light version. Tell them the truth, but if you're worried about them being concerned downplay the parts you think would trouble them.

[realmenknitplushies]

[Yeah, okay. That sounds pretty reasonable. He nods along at the suggestion.]

So, say... don't mention the fighting side of things so much?

[divine_spirits_universe]

Pretty much! Or downplay them to a level you think they can easily handle without worrying.

[realmenknitplushies]

Heh. I'm pretty sure she stresses out if I even think the word 'fighting'.

[divine_spirits_universe]

Then best to avoid that topic altogether~

So I take it by the concern you plan to be actively seeking out issues to solve?

[realmenknitplushies]

[He scratches his head for a moment.] Maybe. I don't really know what the plan is at the moment.

[divine_spirits_universe]

I would think about that carefully before you think of what you're going to tell your parents.

[realmenknitplushies]

Yeah. Guess I'm gonna talk it over with the rest of the team.
