[look at this finely dressed deer in the headlights. this is the face of a man who's clearly trying hard at something. and while he's still new to much of the technology here, that isn't the problem. (even if the typo in his own name might suggest otherwise.)

he looks like he might turn this off after all, and maybe he's regretting that he didn't go with the texted word, but then he takes a breath and pushes forward.]


I would like to address those out there who are fathers. Or anyone who might have experience with raising a child. Sons, especially.

[a long pause...a man with as much pride as jin zixuan surely finds it hard to ask for help. but he reminds himself of his sole reason, and suddenly it all rushes out.]

How does one...form bonds with them? What activities do they enjoy? What should you talk about? Do you try to be their friend?

How do you inquire about their [his expression twists.] chroma?

Any advice would be appreciated.

[please make him father of the year, it would mean so much.]

I don't have a son, but I do have two daughters and I'm sure it's not that different. Besides each child will be different, Yang and Ruby are completely different. But you're right about needing to find a way to form a bond with them, which is actually the first step, caring.

With Yang, it was hand to hand training and sparring. Along with working on the bike and a few other things. Ruby, on the other hand, took more after her mom, so most of our bonding happened in the kitchen and around sweets.

[He's avoiding the chroma discussion for the moment.]

I found things that we both had interest in. Sometimes with kids, you have to try new things, and no matter what you try or want, there are going to be things that you do just for their sake.

[Tai had learned a lot after what had happened with Raven, and then after Summer and almost losing the girls. It had been a real wake up call.]

Spirited is one way of putting it. There's certainly never a dull moment with them.

It changes a lot of things, but it also helps a little. It brings all of you a little closer, and siblings have a way of watching out for one another that you can't always do as a dad.

It's an amazing thing, I'm sure there are a number of things they have told each other that I don't know about. And they have always been close.

But you know it's never too late.

Well, then all the more reason to make up for it here.
