Contemptuous Exemplar

I directed and written the script for a theatre play and co-directed and co-written and played the lead role of another theatre play today and they were both great - the one I played in was obviously the better of the two. I'm so proud of my co-director & co-script writer & the actors and actresses for their dedication in these plays we developed in only 2 nights.

Summary: Yui... may have taken something by less than righteous means... in which Kirito is proud and Asuna froze upon the implications that her daughter might be following Kirito's more terrible quirks.

"Yui? Where did you get this bow?"

Yui looked bashful, "… I… I stole it from Aunt Beth."

Now that got different reactions.

While Asuna froze in horror, Kirito picked Yui up and everyone could see sparkles of admiration and pride shimmering around him, "Heck yeah! I can't believe it! Now that's my Yui! How did you do it? I tried once but she's always so overprotective of her weapons! Please tell me, Princess!"

Yui enthusiastically answered, "While she was in the bathroom I sneaked out to the supply room! I wanted a sword, but I figured Papa will be really worried all the time so I picked a bow instead. I always watched over everyone, so being an archer suits me I think!"

Kirito grinned and twirled her around, "Ah~ I'm so proud of you. I didn't even sense your presence entering the dungeon and your aim are so much better than mine! And you haven't even practiced! You're such a natural like your Mother."

"Kirito-kun…" Asuna had been shivering cold the whole time, "Stop spouting nonsense! You're corrupting our daughter! How could you encourage her to steal from a friend?!"

Kirito just hugged Yui like she's his teddy bear and nonchalantly retorted, "Some things just can't be mentioned for borrowing purposes," he nodded sagely.

"That is not an excuse, young man! What kind of Father are you?!" She began to chase Kirito and Yui who was piggy riding her Papa around. The silly and comical atmosphere did wonders on the players' moods. They soon forgot about the depressing reality, but the majority of their thoughts were gobsmacked.

"Father?!"

"Mother?!"

"The Beater has a daughter?!"

"'PAPA'?!"
