[Well, time to let the wife-he-never-married know what he did. More importantly, he's hoping this voicemail is cause Jaime's REALLY not at his phone right now. That way he can think up a game plan.]
Yeah, key word there? Mentally. He fights because he has to, but... there's a reason why kids usually aren't pulled into war, and that's not just because of their minds. They're more delicate than we are, too. He's still growing, man.
I trust him to do what he thinks is necessary, especially when there are other people looking out for him -- not streets full of drivers who might mow him over, or on a bike where he'll go through a growth spurt and have to learn how to lean in the turns again, or, you know, just get it taken away entirely by the cops.
Trusting him doesn't mean I trust everyone else on the road. I'm not planning on taking it away from him, even if I could, but I don't think it's a good idea.
[It's whispered, muttered, even. Honestly starting to regret even telling Jaime. Why DID he? Some kind of unspoken vow about keeping in contact whenever it had something to do with Ken.
Look at him, trying to actually reason with him. When did he start doing this? His voice when he speaks up next is muffled, as if running a hand over his mouth.]
Soooo put elbow pads on him. [A little too cheerily.]

Date: 2016-06-25 01:47 am (UTC)Hey, why'd ya let it go to voicemail if you were already here! That's deceiving.
[That's how this stuff works, Kaneda. Roll with it.]

It's...what do they call it? Vespa?

You know how dangerous that is, right?
[He's not one to talk; he was taught how to drive by Shepard of all people.]

C'mon, you trust him to travel halfway across the world to Antarctica but a scooter is too much for him?

Date: 2016-06-26 05:02 am (UTC)I'll be teaching him--and if there's one thing I know how to read, it's the road.
[There's a soft little hmph.]
Even this world thinks so. It gave me my bike as a power. It's a part of me.

I'm not happy 'bout it, but I'm not about to change your mind. And if your mind ain't changed, Ken's sure as heck won't be.
[Darn it. He' misses Minato.]
