34th Devotion: They don't call, they don't write...

[favoritetraitor]

My children... and just what have you been up to lately? Cain, Luke, my wayward sons. I think it's time you came home...

[Attempted filter to ARTEMIS]
Carl, Jezebel, Billy, Zexion, Xemnas, Clow, Lyle, Temperance, Lavi, Artemis, Basene, Kincaid... you are taking care of yourselves? With all the incidents occurring in the city lately, I have worried... they say to let your children make their own mistakes, but perhaps there's such a thing as having too much. Dear ones, forgive me for not being there when you've needed me. I shouldn't have spent all my time at the office... but I'd hoped to give you all a better life... have I failed? Is there still time to make amends...

How many in the extended family is there?

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Just a handful... but of course, there would be more if you kids would finally get to the point of settling down. Is there even any special someone in your life right now, Luke?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Not at the moment.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Now you see? This is what I'm talking about... perhaps I can find a nice young lady for you...?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

My tastes are ever changing and so no one will do.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Well, certainly not if you set your standards so high, my son. But I'd rather not die before getting the chance to see grandchildren...

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid you're in for a long wait.

Don't tell me you're against the idea of having a family with some young lady?

..... er. Oh dear. Unless... ah...

I am not a judging father, Luke. You have my complete and utter support no matter what lifestyle you choose to have.

It has little to do with sexual preference.

Solomon has 'the Talk' with Luke XD *dies*

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Ah, I do hope I'm not embarrassing you by having this talk with you. I would feel remiss as a parent if we didn't speak about this topic.

Now, there's nothing wrong with being shy, Luke. But I'm certain that there's someone out there for you. You have many qualities that a... partner would find desirable.

Can assure you, I'm not a wallflower.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

So you say, but have you ever introduced me to any of your 'dates'?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

None were the sort one introduces to parents.

... I see.

Luke, do you really think that's wise? Haven't I taught you better than that?

Re: 2/2

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Not to worry, there's no illegitimate heirs running about.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

I'm merely concerned about the quality of... people you are spending your time with, Luke. You could do so much better for yourself if you'd only try...

Are you sure you don't want me to try to find a suitable date for you?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Alright, pick someone out for me.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! I'll start looking for suitable candidates immediately...

Ah, it might help for you to tell me what types of... people you're attracted to...

And I'll 'refine' the choices based on your preferences.

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Surprise me.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

... uh... women? Men? Either? Just trying to narrow down the odds...

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Either will do.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Very well. I'll see what I can do...

I do have one stipulation, however. I will set you up with a few people whom I deem worthy. But I want you to promise me that you will be a gentleman, and refrain from biting them on the first date.

I do hope that you will give this a chance, Luke. All I wish for is your happiness.
