Attack of Zuberi

[Adofo]

With all three of them, Adofo managed to climb back up over the edge.
Adofo: Ohh......ohhhhhh......my whole life flashed before my eyes! Ohhhh...

[Iri]

Anga stumbled back. "Are you okay?"

[Adofo]

Adofo: Yeah......i think so! Arida.....you tried to save me?! Even after what i said? I actually thought you were so mad, you'd let me fall. Why?

[Iri]

Arida flattened her ears. "What do you mean by 'why'?" she said. "And for the record, I'd never let you fall over the cliff."

[Adofo]

Adofo: Gah....can i start over!? Look......when you were little.....you were sweet to everyone! No matter what was happening! But for the past few years.......whenever i say something to you......i feel more like your enemy than your grandpa. Most of it is probably my fault......but please understand what i'm trying to do! I'm trying to help you! Just please, think back......when was the last time you said something to me where you didn't have anger in your voice?

[Iri]

Arida closed her eyes and looked back. "I don't know," she said. "A... a long time ago."

[Adofo]

Adofo: You see!? This thing you're trying to be.........it isn't you! It's not my granddaughter! Listen.....you want to know why your cubs havn't been bugging you lately!? It's because they come to me to get help now. You want to know the reason? They said.....they were worried that if they tried to talk to you while you were busy with your osain duties........they were afraid you'd hurt them! Your cubs, the ones you carried in your tummy for months, your babies.....are terrified if they get in the way......you'll hurt them.

[Iri]

Arida flattened her ears harder against her head. "I would never hurt my kin," she said.

[Adofo]

Adofo: We know that but.......look at yourself.......you're obsessed. I can't even remember the last time i heard you say "I love you" without anger in your voice! ......that's what hurts most of all...

[Iri]

Arida lifted her ears and twitched them. "Obsessed?" she said.
