[Video]

[First thing you see are two frightened blue eyes, and the picture seems a bit dark. If you look close enough you might see that Tails is hiding under his bed.

He doesn't do very well in thunderstorms.]

C-cube...I...won't be at the hospital.

[squeaks and shuts his eyes at a flash of lightning]

N...not until this is o-over...

Tails?

[Minato's eyes soften, and before the little fox can reply, the human teleports into his lab near his hidden marker.]

It's okay, Tails. Come on out.

[So fast, Minato-papa! And Tails was about to respond to the communicator when he hears the familiar voice in the room.

He peers out from under the bed but another crack of thunder has him rushing to cling to Minato.]

[Minato crouches before Tails can get to him and picks him up into a hug. Sometimes, with all your brains, he forgets you're really just a little kid. The ninja smiles, running a hand over Tails' head fur.]

It'll be all right. I'll protect you from the thunder.

[And he's holding you to that while he continues to cling. A small nod before he buries his muzzle against Minato's chest. The ninja was a lot bigger then Sonic, which helped...a little.]

O..okay...I don't like thunderstorms.

[Minato stands and starts walking with the kid. He doesn't know why, but he knows instinctively to do it. Then again, maybe it was all those parenting books he had secretly read behind Kushina's back....]

Mmm. I can tell.

[He's just going to squeak again at another flash of lightning and close his eyes tightly.

Fear of lightning; it's a pilot thing, and since his first flying escapes weren't inside of a plane...yeah.]

Hope it goes away soon.

[Clinging forever now.]

[Minato's prepared for the long haul. He continues to walk with Tails in his arms.]

It will be all right, Tails. It will be all right. It will be over soon.

[Head shake.]

The average lightning storm can last up to two hours, with continuous atmospheric discharge. It can even happen after the rain has stopped- which is when it's dangerous because you g-!

[Thunder hold on, shaking a little now.]

[Minato shushes him.]

Hush that logic. It will be over sooner than you think, because you won't be alone.

... So, what have you been up to recently?

[Let's get you talking about something as a distraction.]

[But, his logic is what he uses always!

Distraction is good though...]

Helping, Cube. We're gonna fix the boiler in the hospital...

[Yeah, that's not dangerous, right?]

And, Moa's having a party for Halloween.

[Distraction is a logical technique, at least? :|]

... It's not going to blow up is it? [He's teasing.]

And is she really?

[Yes, yes it is, but not when used on a child.

That's just small attention span xD]

H-hey, no! [thunder again and clinging. So he'll nod to answer that last question.]

*muffled against your shirt* 'm taking candy.

[Or Mikey. It also works on Mikey.]

Oh, you're taking candy? I'll have to come, then!

[As if he'd ever miss his girl's party, anyways. Minato continues to walk with the kid, but finally goes over to sit on Tails bed, holding the child in his lap.]

[...yes it does. Anything shiny works too.]

The bags there...you can have some.

[Blinks a little when Minato sits down, but he's not moving away- this is actually a bit more secure feeling.]

[Especially if it's the shiny screen on which a game is being played.]

That's okay. I'll have it at the party where it'll taste better!

[Heh, you're pretty much adopted at this point, Tails, aren't you?]

[Insta!Commentlog] cerebral_foxy October 26 2010, 04:52:13 UTC
[He pretty much is; also he's been replying to Lucca during this whole time; yay multi-tasking ability.]

Taste better? I'm pretty sure that the location isn't going to change the taste...
