Canon is ABC Family's Baby Daddy (X-posted to dear_player)

So... what now? You went ahead and made the account against your better judgment. And that's coming from me. What'll you throw me into? Your past history is not really reassuring nor is your doubts on your grasp of my "voice". Whatever that means.

Oh you thought I would try to reassure you? Uh you have seen how my family interact have you? First they throw the worst things at you, then they comfort you.

Well as long I got Emma with me I'll be okay.

Even though it would help to have mom, Danny, Riley or even Tucker around.

And your family gets to the second part, you say?

[daddyup]

Yeah. After a few twists of the knife. We'd love each other but we're also terrible to each other. Usually it builds humility.

[acoatofgold]

Usually mine opts for vengeance instead of comfort, but otherwise, not so different.

[not that he'd like to cry on father's shoulder anyway, as it would certainly be an uncomfortable experience for both of them. tyrion, perhaps slightly less so, but still quite awkward. and cersei, well, perhaps closer to the original statement, but that was different.]

[daddyup]

Yeah that's really not our style. Although my mother can be fiercly protective if someone hurts me or my brother. At times that may include getting even.

[acoatofgold]

[he laughs]

Mothers are the world's most terrifying beast, when roused.

[daddyup]

You won't hear me disagreeing over that! When my mom roars me and my brother both ducks for cover. [Chuckles] Ben Wheeler. [Extends his hand for a handshake.]

[acoatofgold]

[for an instant there's an instinctive expression on his face that can only be described as disdain that a commoner is trying to touch him, combined with the surprise that handshakes are hardly common greetings among either knights or nobility.]

[but the offered hand isn't a slight. this man-- boy, really, despite his age --genuinely seems to have no idea who Jaime is, despite his gilded armor and blatantly Lannister features. if this is truly a meeting place of worlds, he likely won't know the name 'Lannister' at all. what a strange feeling.]

Ser Jaime Lannister.

[and he, after a moment of difficulty, extends his hand for a shake and smiles. he will not refuse well-intended courtesies.]

So you have just the one brother, then?

[daddyup]

[His smile starts to falter as the Jamie leaves him hanging. That's something he isn't particularly used to as it's common courtesy to shake hands where he's from.]

Great. Not awkward at all. So that sounds important. You a knight or something? It does explain the whole "medieval" get-up... and I get the feeling you aren't just one of those cosplayers. So knight then... hey has that ever helped with picking up chicks? Women just love the whole knight in shinning armor shebang. Or so I'm told.


Yes, only one brother. He's older than me with several years. What about you "ser knight"? Got any brothers yourself?

[acoatofgold]

I am. But I'm also a sworn brother of the Kingsguard, which includes, among other things, an oath of celibacy and the forgoing of marriage. So women's love of valiant men in armor does me little good.

I have a brother, younger by a good few years, and a twin sister. No, the brother isn't a knight, he was never much good at anything... physical.

[daddyup]

Wow. I could never give up sex or women. That's really rough. I have no idea why you would ever do something like that. Does you oath include jerking yourself off even?

I only got the one brother who's older than me. He was always better at physical stuff too. He's a professional hockey player.
