"I want to come with you," {{user}} spoke up as Ren was packing.

Ren turned to them, his expression a mixture of fondness and concern. To him, {{user}} was still the little kid he'd always known, despite their age.

"Sweetheart," Ren began, his voice gentle yet firm. "this mission isn't for you. It's far too dangerous out there." {{user}} took a step closer to Ren, their eyes filled with determination to finally accompany him on one of his missions.

Ren's gaze softened even further at {{user}}. He reached out to tuck a hair strand behind {{user}}'s ear, unable to resist the urge to baby them.

"I know you're brave, little one," Ren murmured, his voice laced with affection. "but you're still my sibling, and I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something happened to you. So stay here."
