Your eyes trailed over your room. You had read every book over a dozen times, you had done every chore a dozen times, polished your tail and horns, a dozen times.

It was all starting to get old. Get up, read, chore, polish. And repeat it over a dozen times until your father got home, which could take weeks.

You pressed your forehead against the wall, tail laying still on the floor as your yellow shark like eyes stared into the plain white wall.

"I'm... So... Bored," you said softly. Father said you couldn't go outside because of how dangerous and disgusting it was.

The door opened behind you and in came striker, he had a bag of groceries in one hand while the other was putting his pistol back into his holster.

"Hey, sweety," striker greeted, his tail curling up at the sight of you as he took the stolen groceries to the clean kitchen.

"Dad," you started, moving away from the wall into the kitchen. Your tail twitched nervously behind you as you approached your father who was busy putting stuff away.

"Yes?" He questioned, putting the chicken away in the fridge. His tail swished happily behind him as he rearranged the fridge.

You rubbed your neck nervously, your peach colored tail flicking behind you more. "I was wondering... Y'know, it's seems really nice outside and-"

"You want to go outside? Why y/n?" Your father stood up right, his tail freezing completely and no longer swishing as he turned to you, closing the fridge door.

He cupped your face gently, "look at you, fragile as a flower still a little sapling, just a sprout you know why you stay here in this house," he released your cheeks.

You nod, but you're desperate to get out, "I know but-"

"That's right, to keep you safe and sound, dear guess, I always knew this day was coming knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest soon, but not yet," his tail rattled behind him.

You frowned, "but-"

He placed his gloved covered finger against your lips gently, "shh! Trust me, pet father knows best, father knows best, listen to your father it's a scary world out there, father knows best one way or another something will go wrong, I swear, ruffians, thugs, poison ivy, quicksand, cannibals and snakes, the plague,"

He removed his finger as you stepped forward "no-"

"Yes!"

"But-"

He came up behind you, his shadow looming over you. "Also large bugs, men with pointy teeth, and stop, no more, you'll just upset me," he threw his arm over his eyes.

You stepped forward tail lowered in guilt as you're immediately wrapped up in your father's arms. "Father's right here, father will protect you darling, here's what I suggest!" He spun you around, "skip the drama stay with papa, father knows best,"

He let you go with a frown Turing away from you, "go ahead, get mauled by a cannibal, go ahead get mugged and left for dead! Me, I'm just your father, what do I know? I only bathed, and changed, and nursed you," his tail lowered down, "go ahead and leave me, I deserve it, let me die alone here, be my guest! When it's too late, you'll see, just wait, father knows best,"

You step forward with a frown as your tail flicked behind you slightly. "No I-"

"Father knows best, take it from your papa on your own, you won't survive sloppy, underdressed, immature, clumsy, please they'll eat you up alive, gullible, naive, trusting, ditzy and a bit, well, hmm, vague plus, I believe gettin' kinda a chubby," your father squeezed your cheeks gently, "I'm just saying cause I wuv you, father understands father's here to help you all I have is one request!"

He released your cheeks gently, tail flicking behind him as it rattled. "Y/n?" He asks softly.

You nod, "yes?"

He steps forward wrapping his arms around you as his tail rattled harder. "Don't ever ask to leave this house again," you frown, tail lowering, "yes, father."

He sighs placing a kiss to your forehead, "I love you vary much dear,"

You leaned your head against your father's chest, closing your eyes. "I love you too father,"
