It appears I have a question that I do not have an answer to.

If you and another have been referred to as family, but are not siblings due to that I made him. What does it make such a relationship?

[He has so many questions--]

I guess you could say that makes him your son?
But I think it depends on what kind of relationship you have outside of that, too.

[formyeternity]

My son? Really?

We live together and he is responsible for cooking the food in our home. He is quite reliable. Does that answer anything?

[brilliantdiamond]

[What is this ominous feeling--]

Well, that sounds like a dutiful son to me.
How do you feel about him? Does he feel like family to you?

[lyingstars]

Ignore what he said. We are not family.

[formyeternity]

I would believe we are.

We share a resemblance, a connection and live together. Is that not family?

[lyingstars]

No. That's just you trying to make up for something far too late.

Made him...? Who? I was not aware you had reproduced.

[formyeternity]

It is... complicated to put it simply.

Kunikuzushi. He may go by a different name but we share a physical resemblance so it is hard to miss. I am living with him at the present time and he is quite a talented cook.

[negeotiation]

Ah. To answer your question: Someone who has created a life is generally referred to as a 'parent', 'mother' or 'father'.

[A physical resemblance... and someone present here.

That narrows it down considerably, though it is rather surprising considering--]

...You are referring to the harbinger titled Scaramouche, are you not?

I am rather surprised a child of yours ended up working for the Tsaritsa, so far away from Inazuma.

[formyeternity]

Which part of my question was not clear? Do I perhaps need to clarify?

[thescorpionking]

Forgive me, you made him?

Family can be a rather broad term.

[formyeternity]

That is correct.

Oh? How so?

[thescorpionking]

In that case, you are the one who can determine what relationship you have. You could be his mother, his sister, his father, his brother or simply his friend.

Family is often about the type of bond that one has not the blood relation.

[formyeternity]

The type of bond? What do you mean by that?

[wu_xi]

The connection and feeling between people.

[dreamvour]

either it makes him your son
or it makes you his boss
that's my understanding of it anyway

[formyeternity]

His boss? He does not work for me so I'm not positive that would work here.

[dreamvour]

the gods who made me are my bosses
but if that isn't the case i believe he's your son
i don't know if there are other ways to describe it

[There's a lot to unpack here and reading the post a couple of times only adds to the number of questions she has. Hmm.]

When you say I made him... are we talking about a baby, or?

[formyeternity]

Hm. He is not an infant, so it's different in the way he was created but he still bears similarity to my image and I am responsible for his creation.

Regardless as to the means at which he was made, if you made him you are his parent. You are the reason they exist and live.

[formyeternity]

Someone who understands. Yes, that is indeed exactly how it is.

Yet he continues to insist we are not family.
