Teacher..or Father...??
(Kirby / Meta / Bate)
I don’t…get it.”
Kirby speaks as he stares across the table at Meta. The elder sets down the paper he was reading, and raises a brow at the young child. “What don’t you get?”
Kirby promptly points down the hall where his grandfather was just at. “How come you call Grandpa Bate ‘Teacher?’ I don’t understand, isn’t he your dad?”
Meta ponders for a moment, before going back to his paper. “He is.”
Kirby huffs from the lackluster answer, and crawls on the table to rip the newspaper away. “So then whyyy????”
“K-Kirby” Meta ushers the child off of the table. “Manners.”
“Sorry….” He goes back to his seat before letting out a frustrated shriek. “I just don’t understand!”
“Understand what?” Bate’s voice rings from the hallway as he returns to the group. He promptly takes his seat and gives his attention to the child. “What seems to be troubling you?”
The little warrior angrily crosses his arms and glares at Meta. “Why does dad call you Teacher?”
Bate’s reaction is the opposite of Meta. The old warrior gives a laugh, and gently pats his head. “Is that all? Nova, I though it was something a little bit more urgent.”
