Talking to Daddy
Squall was in his office, working, savoring his last cup of the coffee for the evening. His wife liked to insist on a limit on the coffee after dinner, or he would never sleep. He was working on ways to get support to the city, and out to the countryside. It was busy, important work. And kept his mind off the meeting that he was going to have with his son.
Oh, Sora. Squall hadn't forgotten the act Sora had done this afternoon. That... overt, bold move. And the following questions from important men who had noticed. There was no way that Squall or Sora, or anyone could take it back.
And that really annoyed Squall. This wasn't done on HIS terms. Sora had forced their hand by bringing Riku to lunch. Riku couldn't be put back in a box. By all rights, Squall should punish them both! Send Riku away. Reduce Sora's freedoms. SOMETHING.
But... Squall couldn't do that. He couldn't put Sora back in that position of child. Sora was an adult. If he was going to make these bold and sometimes DANGEROUS moves, he had to accept the fallout for them.
