[there's a large bam as this grown man bursts out of the ballroom and slams the doors roughly behind him. he stands with his back to the doors, gasping for air.]

There's a .. there's a dinosaur in there.

[pauses, still leaning heavily against the doors -- as if doing so would actually stop a dinosaur from barreling through. he certainly doesn't look as alarmed as he probably should.]

... That is so cool!

And here I was thinking you just aged really well!

Your son's wedding was over ten years ago for me.

[royal-thief.livejournal.com]

Flattery won't get you anywhere. The idea of me aging more than this is something I'd rather not think about.

How have you been?

[alldadsareold.livejournal.com]

I'm doing well!

[beams.]

Kairi's expecting.

[royal-thief.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, congratulations! I'd give advice but....yes, you've seen how bad I am at this.

[alldadsareold.livejournal.com]

As long as you try your best, Cassim. That's all you've got to do!

[royal-thief.livejournal.com]

And if I make a mistake again? No, I would rather not risk it.

[alldadsareold.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[royal-thief.livejournal.com]

I'll just attend that wedding, and then I'll be out of his life forever. I almost ruined his life, I'm not ruining it again.

[alldadsareold.livejournal.com]

Cassim ...

You ever stop to think that leaving him again might be a bigger mistake than staying with him?

[royal-thief.livejournal.com]

Sora, you saw what happened. He almost lost everything because of my selfishness.

[alldadsareold.livejournal.com]

I know.

But it might hurt him more if you just up and left, after he finally got to see you after all these years.

[royal-thief.livejournal.com]

I won't be leaving without good-bye, that's for sure. But you must understand that I can't stay there.

[alldadsareold.livejournal.com]

That's just the thing, I guess. I don't really understand.

[royal-thief.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[alldadsareold.livejournal.com]

I guess we're kind of different, in that sense.

I don't think I could ever leave my kids alone for more than a week -- probably even when they grow up.

I guess I'm just overprotective.

[royal-thief.livejournal.com]

Don't even think about leaving your children, Sora. That is the biggest mistake anyone in any worlds out there can make.

[alldadsareold.livejournal.com]

... Don't worry. I won't ever leave them.

[royal-thief.livejournal.com]

Good.

[ah damnit. he can't resist.] ...Sora, did he ever had....? [oh God, did he ever became a grandfather?]

[alldadsareold.livejournal.com]

[sooo not catching on, just staring blankly at Cassim.]

Huh?

[royal-thief.livejournal.com]

You're from the future, correct?

[alldadsareold.livejournal.com]

Uh .. Compared to you, I guess so! Why?

[royal-thief.livejournal.com]

How is Aladdin's life now?

[alldadsareold.livejournal.com]

He's doing really well! I actually haven't caught up with them in a few months, though.

[royal-thief.livejournal.com]

Does he have his own family now?

[alldadsareold.livejournal.com]

Er ...

[pauses, frowning. is that really his place to tell? he half wants to tell Cassim to stick around and find out for himself.]
