I enjoy running as much as the next girl, course I do, but this has gone far enough. The next one of these savages that tries to shoot me, hit me, or chase me from the streets is going to wish they hadn't. I might do my very best to avoid violence but I've certainly no objections to self-defence.

My only real issue is that I don't understand why they've so much hostility but it's quickly reaching the point that I don't care. You can't help someone if they won't let you, yeah?

	They're going after kids, Dad. Young children with no means of defending themselves. I can't just sit back, safe and sound, and let that happen. I can't. Besides. I'll be fine. Perfectly, absolutely fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are a kid. My kid, and I won't have you getting shot! ~~Not again.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not a child, though! I'm a fully functioning adult. I can dodge bullets and rocks and other potentially deadly projectiles. They haven't hit me yet and they won't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh yes you are. You can be old enough to dodge bullets and rocks and anything else someone cares to throw at you and still be a child, especially by Time Lord standards. How do you know they won't hit you? Hmm? Can you see your own personal timeline? I don't think so, young lady, and if you get shot, I'll more than ground you. ~~I have no idea what, yet, but I'll think of something.~~

	At least I'm doing something about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Something that's going to get you hurt or killed and trust me when I say that you are way to young to be regenerating already! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilovetherunning 2011-08-31 05:05 pm UTC (link)
	But it's something, at least. I can't just sit around, hoping this place sorts itself out while other people who aren't equipped to handle these kinds of things are being hurt or worse. We're supposed to help people who need it. You taught me that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, but that was before I realized I was going to have a stroke watching you do it! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilovetherunning 2011-08-31 05:10 pm UTC (link)
	~~You can't just~~ ~~It isn't right to ask me to~~ I'm going, Dad. I'm sorry, I really am, but I have to do this. And I'll be careful. I'll be fine. You'll see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh no. Not by yourself you aren't. If I'm going to have an aneurysm, I'm going to have it where I can keep an eye on you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She won't be by herself. She has me for back-up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	handysparehand 2011-08-31 05:48 pm UTC (link)
	And who exactly are you? I hope you'll understand that I'm not just going to trust my daughter's safety to some stranger without so muc as a name to go on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kate Freelander. And your daughter seems pretty capable of making her own decisions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	handysparehand 2011-08-31 05:51 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, she is. I know that. Doesn't make me worry any less. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	soundsmadeup 2011-08-31 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	There's worrying and then there's acting like you get to control her life. The second one isn't usually appreciated. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Oi! What do you mean, trust my safety to some stranger? I can take care of myself, you know! It isn't as though I haven't been trained in precisely this sort of thing, Dad.

Really. I promise. I won't take any unnecessary risks and I won't engage them if they don't engage me first. I'm just going to do what I can to make the streets a bit safer for the people here who can't take care of themselves. And if you want to come along, I've certainly no objections, but I most definitely do not need anyone to keep me safe!

	No. You were trained to fight a nonexistant war with the Hath and repurposed that training to stop said war. Completely different. And I can't help the worrying. I'm your father, not to mention part human, which really doesn't seem to be helping. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilovetherunning 2011-08-31 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	It's still a war. Non-existent or otherwise, it doesn't matter. People out there need help and I, for one, am not going to simply sit around and not do a thing to help them. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that girls seldom listen to their fathers when it comes to telling them not to do something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	handysparehand 2011-08-31 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	Particularly when their fathers never listen to anyone, either. Blimey. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're welcome to join me in my lab if it will help take your mind off it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	handysparehand 2011-08-31 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	I rather doubt it would. (Reply to this) (Parent)
