Yeah. Well, not that he doesn't help us get stronger too, if that's what we want. But it's not what matters.

[disingenuous]

He sounds like the ideal father figure.

[selfimmolation]

I don't think any person's ever ideal. But he's as close as anyone could get to me.

[disingenuous]

You don't have to be perfect to be ideal, but if he's given you happiness and protection, isn't that better than most?

[selfimmolation]

[ certainly better than HERS ]

If that's the criteria, then yeah, I'd say he's ideal.

[disingenuous]

[ unquestionably better than hers ]

It's good that you found him, then. Or he found you.

[selfimmolation]

[ thinks about how he was basically a feral animal destroying whitebeard's bushes ]

Eh, kinda both.

[disingenuous]

[ he really got domesticated. ]

Fated, if you believe in that kind of thing.

[selfimmolation]

[ he is a feral cat being picked up and tamed at all times ]

Hm... No, not really. Fate, destiny, I've never liked that junk.

[disingenuous]

No? I do think choice has more meaning. Choice has more intention.

[selfimmolation]

Yeah. [ intention is important!! ] Choices are better. If everything's already been predetermined by fate or destiny or whatever... no one's really free. They're just following a script.
