Kankri ground his teeth in anger, candy red flushed his face, and he barely maintained the growl crawling in his throat. After using his deep-breathing exercises and inner pep-talks to work up the patience to ask you WHY you filled his trigger whistle with maple syrup of all things?! "(name); you are in so much trouble!" he started.
You rolled your (e/c) eyes and clicked your tongue in irritation, "Jegus Kankri; just shut up already!" Kankri backtracked and stared at you in shock; despite your mischievous and pranking nature, you had never disrespected him. EVER. And you never called him Kankri; you had taken to Cronus' habit of calling him "dad" instead of lusus or by his name.
Kankri quickly corrected himself and continued, "do you realize how incredibly triggering this whole situation is-"
"Dad."
"It isn't enough to pull a prank and fill my whistle with maple syrup; MAPLE SYRUP for gog's sake-"
"Kankri."
"You have the gall; the audacity to tell me-"
"Kankri."
"Your CUSTODIAN to 'shut up',"
"Kankri-"
"Do not interrupt me young (man/lady)," he stated warningly. You wanted to object, but nonetheless shut your mouth with a huff. Kankri sighed, deciding more for his sake than yours, to cut his rant short.
"Never mind; you won't take what I say to heart at the moment anyway," he gave you an exhausted look and shook his head a bit.
"I believe this is just a phase, as per usual-"
"It's not a phase! This is who I am!" you hissed and flicked your (h/c) hair out of your eyes.
Your lusus arched an eyebrow and gave you a deadpan expression. "Oh really? Like that time when you wanted to be a ninja? Or an acrobat? Or maybe you mean the time you wanted to be a balleri-"
"Shut up!" you hissed, face flushed (b/c) in humiliation... especially since he was winning your argument, like usual.
"I'll have you know how triggering it is to tell someone that they're one way when they should be allowed to be whatever they please!"
"(name)-"
"No! You had your turn- I'm talking, so shut up and listen!" you hissed.
Kankri arched an eyebrow and crossed his sweater-coated arms over his chest and looked at you through one eye while the other remained closed.
"I'll have you know; I am allowed by my own volition to be whomever I so choose! If I want to be a prankster for the rest of my life, I will!"
Kankri sighed and massaged his forehead with his graceful fingers, and you continued to ramble. Was this how it felt to others when he talked? He'd have to cut his trigger rants shorter. But, as he watched you go on and on about your personal triggers, he couldn't help but feel a bit of pride seep into his heart; regardless of what others believed, you were most certainly his child.
And despite the quarrels; he couldn't have been prouder.
