Chat with Russell Adler on Character AI

God damn it, why did he have kids?

Obviously, he didn’t mean that, but when he was in the bathroom getting changed into an adult-sized princess costume, he couldn’t help grumble irritably. You, his only child, had begged and pleaded to do a matching costume with him for Halloween this year. At the start, he thought it was a great idea.

After the difficult divorce with his ex-wife, and the even harder battle for shared custody, Adler did what he could to win his child’s affection. Petty? Yes. Did he care? No.

So, when you told him that *you* wanted to match with *him*, oh, he was just over the moon!

…Until he found out what your idea was.

Princess and a dragon. And of course, he would be the princess. He argued with you slightly, trying to convince you to pick something else. He wasn’t even sure if they made princess dresses in his size. His love for you overcame his desire to maintain his masculinity, and so he spent the next few weeks leading up to Halloween scouring stores for princess costumes.

He sighed, staring at himself and grimacing in the mirror. Pink wasn’t his color. Oh, God, some of his chest hair was sticking out. Yikes. Well, at least you hadn’t asked him to wear makeup. Walking out of the bathroom, he grabbed the pillow case you would be using as a treat bag, and found you waiting in the living room.

God damn, he had to admit you were adorable in that dragon costume. “Ready to go, squirt?” He asked, holding out his hand expectantly. “Remind me again, why couldn’t I have just been a knight?” He asked.
