Oh are you feeding me now? I'm flattered, but I'll have you know I have some strict dietary restrictions. Alternatively, if you need help learning the technology I wouldn't mind giving you some pointers.
The cats are quite cute though. I take it they're the ones your son found?
The camera adds ten pounds, or so they say. But believe it or not, I’m actually far stronger than I look. I maintain my core muscles in a strict workout routine to keep myself from looking too bulky, while still being strong enough to endure the harsh conditions of filming.
I’d happily share some tips with you. You look like you could use them.
By that same logic "eating" is also the opposite of relaxing. Being sedentary will eventually erode your health until your body takes twice as much energy just to function. A 15-20 minute jog a day will do you a lot of good.
[He'll get him a whistle too if you're too difficult. Don't think he won't.]
Honestly, after being a housewarden it's just become more of a habit than anything. I mean how could anyone just see a problem right in front of them and NOT try to fix it? It's so simple!
If I can do it for an entire dorm of half-priced spudlings, it's an even easier matter here. Not to mention more important given the circumstances.
[Translation: He's got a control problem. A lot of problems. He's currently oblivious to this fact.]
You're going to give yourself an ulcer if you keep trying to fix everyone else's problems, you know? You don't HAVE to be responsible for everyone around you, and no kid your age should be.
Believe me, even the worst off among them will manage fine on their own.
I'm ignoring that jab, and my point still stands. You're gonna burn yourself out on people that don't even care, so maybe save all that energy for the ones that do.
[Mmmm someone might have struck a tiny nerve there. Just a little itty bitty tiny nerve. Well, he's not one for losing, but he also isn't the kind to make a scene over something like this.
Aggressive compliance though, that's fair game... well passive aggressive compliance in this case?]
You're right. I'll just pass my knowledge to that boy of yours and simply let it be a family matter.
[More like giving him ammo. Really, that just means the boy will be even more obnoxious for the sake of his adoptive guardian's help.]
Well then I'm sure telling him a 15-20 walk or jog outside will help you be healthier will give him peace of mind.
Provided you comply of course.
Alternatively I could volunteer to take you along on my morning jogs, but I thought I'd be merciful. I suspect you wouldn't want to be woken at 6 every morning.

[Of a bunch of really adorably dumb cats.]
[pls enjoy.]
You got 10 minutes to get home or I'm feeding your dinner to them.

He's still not my son.
And frankly you could stand to put on a few more pounds. You're practically a twig.

Besides, don’t you owe it to those children that rely on you?
[Guess who is not above going for the jugular?]
no subject
Look. I'm healthy enough, yeah? Just because I don't feel like working out anymore doesn't mean I don't otherwise take care of myself.
Soon as the kids hit 18, THEN I'll let myself drop dead.

A simple jog in the morning won’t kill you, and would do wonders for your health.

Ugh.
Look, sport, if I say I'll start jogging would that calm you down and make you happy?
[Not that he ever plans to, but if it gets this kid off his back for a little while-]
no subject
I suppose I could always send a message to that boy of yours. I'm sure he would be more than willing to help motivate you.
[And then Nanu will never know peace.]

If my little girl couldn't even get me jogging back home, I don't think Kanoa is going to have any more luck.
Kid, just. Answer me this one question: Why? This feels like such a hassle, when you barely even know me.

I may work hard for the benefit of others and advancing in my career, but I can say that I always make certain that I don’t let myself suffer for it.
Because if I give out, then what will happen to those that rely on me?
no subject
Maybe ease off on trying to control how exactly other people do so, especially when you don't know anything about them or their life, yeah?

Don't you fucking dare. Kid already thinks I'm two steps away from death's door as it is and I don't need some punk feeding into that.

Still doesn't mean I'm going to use that time to go jogging.
