You are now DAD EGBERT. It is your son's FIRST TIME meeting a close friend of his. You are SO PROUD of them both.
You know well how EXCITED John has been for his arrival. You were never entirely sure about John's decision to make friends over the internet, but he is almost a man now and you respect his decisions and trust that he knows best.
However, what kind of FATHER would you be if you didn't question him at least a little? NOT A PARTICULARLY GOOD FATHER AT ALL, THAT'S FOR SURE.
"Nice to meet you, Dave," you say, offering a hand. He looks at you blankly, before hesitantly shaking it. "How was your flight?"
"Eh, it was alright. Food was crap, but who really gives a shit? Like seriously, jokes about airline food are so old they're not even funny anymore. Like not even in an ironic lame kinda way. They're just dumb."
You nod seriously. "And how is your brother?"
He shrugs. "Fine, I guess."
>John: This is boring. Interrupt and start talking about all the awesome stuff you're gonna do together!!
==> Dad: politely inquire about wellbeing of Son's best friend. (FILL: team Jade<3Kanaya<3Rose)
