Well, I decided to become a bishop because I didn't want to become anything like my father -- that counts, doesn't it?

[halfcocked]

I guess so . . . you never want--things? People? Dumb shit? It's just weird! Is this a priest thing?

[a_holy_oak]

I wanted to become a priest because I wanted to. But ... my family was rich, but my father was more interested in grooming me than in spoiling me.

[grooming him . . . ]

[ . . . eying Hakuren's hair]

My mother would try to buy me things, now and then, but most of the finances were controlled by Father.

[hair things? like a dog show? like a poodle . . . ]

[s . . . snickering]

[a_holy_oak]

... what's so funny.

[halfcocked]

Your dad played with your hair that much?

[a_holy_oak]

... what?!

[halfcocked]

You started talking about grooming!

[a_holy_oak]

To be his SUCCESSOR.

[halfcocked]

There's a certain hairstyle--?

[a_holy_oak]

...

My father was essentially training me to become a proper successor to his position and the Oak family name.

[halfcocked]

Oh. Right. . . . What kind of position?

[a_holy_oak]

He's a well-known figure in our local politics. It's part of what our family's known for.

[halfcocked]

Ugh. Us too. Wish I could run away! That shit's so boring.
