The Talk


A/N:Well, somebody had to do it! Partially inspired by a Dragonlance fic.

Kain: (seated at the head of a round table, around which are seated Rahab, Dumah, Zephon, and Melchiah) Boys, there's something I need to talk to you about. *clears throat*

Dumah: Whatever it is, blame it on Zephon. It's all HIS fault!!

Zephon: Hey!!

Rahab: *rolls eyes and goes back to translating Greek to Latin to French to English*

Kain: You boys remember what I talked to Raziel and Turel about last century?

Rahab: Are you sure we need to hear this, Father?

Kain: ...Yeah! You gotta know where little humans come from...

Dumah: ...I know this one! Forty-two!!

(Dumah gets stared at)

Dumah: Or not...

Melchiah: *covers ears* I do NOT need to hear this!!

Kain: ...Hm. Maybe you're right..maybe you are too young, Melchiah..Zephon, take him out!

Zephon: What? Why me?

Kain: You're too young, too.

Zephon: *throws Melchiah out a window and walks out the door, muttering darkly*

Kain: And don't you dare slam that--*door slams*...door.

Rahab: Once again, I ask, are you sure we need to know?

Dumah: Yeah, I mean, Raziel already told us EVERYTHING!

Kain: ...*makes mental note: Toss Raziel in the Abyss. Am getting annoyed with him and his wings already anyways.*

Rahab: ...Dad? Are you okay...?

Kain: Yeah, I'm fine. Just making a mental note.

Rahab: Oh.

Kain: Now, when two people, human or otherwise, love each other...

Dumah: Do they have to love each other? *shudder*

Rahab: *rolls eyes and resumes his translations*

Kain: Well...not always, but it helps...

Dumah: ...Oh. I didn't know that...

Rahab: Why don't we make the safe assumption that you don't know anything, Dumah? *smirk*

Kain: ..anyways...

Dumah: So how do humans...?

Kain: *looks annoyed* The same way we do, I imagine...

Dumah: You mean you imagine doing stuff like that with us? That is SICK!

Rahab: *sigh* I'm going to my Abbey now...

Kain: SIT DOWN, YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL I FINISH THIS LECTURE!!

Rahab: ...damn.

Dumah: What happens if you don't like women?

Kain: Then you do it with a man, not a human.

Dumah: But--

Kain: I don't want you boys picking up my bad habits. Now shut up and let me finish my lecture.

Rahab: Can't we just leave and say you lectured us?

Kain: NO! *slams fist on table*

Dumah: ...Don't hurt me, Daddy..

Rahab: Dumah is older than me...but has the I.Q. of a two-year-old. That is sad.

Dumah: I'm gonna kill you, Rahab.

Rahab: Go for it. *holds up book* I'm armed.

Dumah: Me too! *draws sword*

Kain: Well...*draws Soul Reaver* LET'S HOW WELL YOU BOTH DEAL WITH THIS!!

Dumah ...meep! *puts sword away*

Rahab: Forgive me, Father, I lost my temper.

Kain: Next time you piss me off, you're toast. *puts the Reaver away*

Rahab: Understood.

Dumah: ....

Kain: Now then...*goes on to explain...uh, you know.* Any more questions?

Rahab: ...That was waaay too much detail there, Father...I didn't need to know all that..

Kain: ....Questions, not comments.

Dumah: I will never look at humans the same way again...
