FASH: Just something I've been musing about.

Disclaimer: I don't own 1/2 Prince.

-x-x-x-

It was something he'd been wondering about, perhaps because all of his thoughts seemed to be centring around Xiao Lan recently, and it was inevitable that sooner or later he'd get to this topic.

It was a trifling matter, really, about the pet owned by Prince, aptly named Meat Bun, and it's recently gained ability to speak. Or, more specifically, the title it called Prince by.

Mummy.

Zhou knew that there was no need to be concerned about the pet, whether it somehow knew Prince's gender in real life or if it was just the programmed title Prince had been given. But still...

If Prince was Meat Bun's 'mummy', then who was it's 'daddy'?

One thing was for sure, it had better not be Min Gui Wen. Gui was enough trouble as it was without having another excuse to get closer to Prince.

He decided to bring the topic up while their teams were training together in Second Life, although he waited for Gui to do his inevitable, excessive gushing and after the wandering poet was KOed he made his move.

"Hm? Is there something you need Wicked?" Prince asked as he stepped away from Gui's prone form.

"Your pet, it calls you 'mummy', so do you suppose it has someone it thinks of as a father?" He asked, cutting to the chase, knowing that Gui would recover quickly and not wanting him to be a part of the conversation at all.

"Well, considering when Meat Bun hatched, and who seems the most like a father figure..." Prince tilted his head to the side in thought, tapping at his chin lightly just like Xiao Lan would in real life, unaware that her usual mannerisms made her that much easier to identify.

"I guess that Meat Bun's daddy would be LoliDragon!" Prince said, appearing quite proud of himself at the deduction.

Wicked tried not to sigh and easily held in the protest that he'd be a way better father-figure than the thief.

LoliDragon, however, wasn't content with keeping her protests silent.

"What? How could you even suggest that I was the man in our fake relationship?!"

Well, as long as it wasn't Gui, or any male for that matter, he supposed he could live with it.
