Um...

It's not weird to get someone a Father's Day present when they're not really your dad, right?

[This is clearly a thing she feels awkward asking about. Oh, but she needs to clarify:]

--I haven't forgotten about my real dad, it's just that he's not here. I can't give him a present or make him anything.

[wow all his kids have serious things to think about. He's probably the worst at giving this advice since he never celebrated Father's Day ever, but here he goes trying anyway]

If he's important to you, I don't think it would be weird to acknowledge that.

[willrememberthat]

Yeah, I think so, too. I was just making sure. [She just wanted reassurance, that's all.]

[unvarnished]

So Father's Day is coming up, huh? You know what you want to give this guy?

FILTER!!!

[onehundred]

He'd like an ax.

[willrememberthat]

... huh?

[onehundred]

Do you know what that is?

[ she doesn't has to think about this. it'd be the same for her if neelix were here. ]

If he's really important to you, I don't think it's a bad thing. I'd get Neelix something, even though he's my godfather, not my real father.

[ not that she's ever heard of father's day before this, but it's pretty self-explanatory, isn't it? ]

Lee's really important. Everything's been better since he's been here, so... mm, I should do something.

[minicaptain]

You know Lee? [ okay she's hoping it's the same guy, but he's been really nice to her so far. ] Do you know what he likes?

[hatedbyfanboys]

If they're a father-like figure to you, there's nothing wrong with it, I think.

[willrememberthat]

He's probably never gotten anything on that day, either. He doesn't have any kids.

[hatedbyfanboys]

I think it'll make him really happy.

...What's father's day?

Uh, anyways. Someone doesn't have to be blood to be a father to you.

[willrememberthat]

It's a day you thank your father for being a good dad on. Usually you give presents, too. Like ties or mugs or drawings.

... yeah, I guess. [She just misses her real dad, too.]

[whichwayyoulean]

Oh...that's kinda nice.

[He contemplates doing this and shoots it down in the same thought. Nope. House would not appreciate that and probably take away his crutches or something as punishment for having emotions]

Anyway. If he means that much to you, and you think he'd appreciate it, you should do it.

[billiardsplz]

Nah man. Heck, sometimes I even got mom a gift for Father's Day 'cause she did such an awesome job raising me.

[willrememberthat]

[An amused sound.]

Really? She must have liked that a lot.

[billiardsplz]

She did. She's like a saint, you know?

[the_effect_she_has]

Well, I paid my non-father's bar tab from now until the forseeable future, so I'll say it's fine.

[willrememberthat]

His bar tab? Was it a lot?

[the_effect_she_has]

Sure was. He's not a cheap drunk. [Funnily, the words come off as sounding exasperatedly affectionate.]

It might be a little weird.

[Because how would Brock feel if the Venture twins gave him a Father's Day gift? REALLY AWKWARD.]

You could just give him a present and not call it Father's Day or anything.

[willrememberthat]

[THE FIRST PERSON TO SAY IT'S WEIRD.]

A present on Father's Day that's... not for Father's Day? Or... should I give it before?

This is hard.

Family is not only defined by blood. [So no, it's not weird.]

Hi, Galadriel.

Do you have people like that?
