MAIN COURSE IN FATHERHOOD • CHAPTER III: Meet the Father (and Vampire Butlers) •
===
// Earlier that Day... //
Ethan groans, Looking down at his Daughter who slept nicely on his side. He smiles, ruffling her hair as he slowly stood up, replacing his arm with a Pillow, UF cuddles close to the pillow, Smiling, Ethan, amused, Ruffles her hair one last time before heading to his Closet.
Changing his attire to a More, appropriate and more Elegant look, he heads out, grabbing for his Coat. Before he heads out, Leopard coughs.
"Master Ethan, please do sit and eat at least" Ethan jumps, he looks behind him and sighs in relief to see the Feline butler. "I need to go now-" "At least eat some Meat" the Vampire's stomach growled at the Mention of Mammal Flesh. With a angry mumble he follows Leopard to the kitchen and eats a short meal that consisted of Raw Lamb meat and some Rice with Curry sauce on it.
Once finished, he looks outside, it was still dark. So, he stands up, thanks Leopard, and heads out- Once outside, he looks around, checking to see if no one was nearby, Once cleared, He takes a deep breath, and counts backwards from 5 to 1
"5.."
"4.."
"3.."
"2..."
— Ethan's eyes glow Black as his figure changes to a Giant Bat. He screeched, before flying off.

Bloodthrust lands back in Snowdenburg in their old Home, a Small abandoned cottage in the Forest, the Blizzard storm was over and it left quite a lot of Snow, he glides towards a Balcony and transforms back to his Human form. He sighs, scrathing the left over Fur of his Anthropomorphic form, but, in a rush, he simply rolled his shoulders and walked off.
He arrives in the Town center, immediately heading for the Old Pub near the Cathedral of Jeremith. As he enters it, A lone costumer sat by the Counter, and a Old Doberman bartender, the Bartender looks at the Vampire and scoffs.
"Ethan, It's been a week" He greeted, Bloodthrust nodded, sitting at the edge and slumping agaisnt the Stool. "How's the buisness, Chase?" "Been quiet, but still good, especially for Travelers and Pilgrimages, want your Usual?" Bloodthrust nods, and The old man goes in to Grab his order. The customer looks at Bloodthrust and snorts, "Ethan, been a while" Bloodthrust looks at them, growling.
"Suzette"
"Greeting, Ethanathos"
"Suzette, go easy on him!"
"I will Baba, I will" Bloodthrust smirks, drinking down some Tequila. "So, How's Ame and Thyst?" "Your butlers that are, Oh so devoted to you and your precious little Princess?? Their well, so is Galahad" Bloodthrust nods. "Where are they now, if not in the Manor, that is" "Probably trying to find you and UF.. Galahad is at the hospital, had a Heart attack and in bed rest" "My.. Send my condolences" "I'm sure he'll be thrilled to hear from you" Suzette muttered, she stands up and Shakes off her shoulders.
"Well, I'd best be off, Enjoy your meal ya' Loff" She fakes a salute and walks out. Chase comes back with a Tray of Baked Mac and some Raw Lamb meat, with some Glasses of Tequila. "Oh, where's Suzette??" "Left, probably back to her post" "Huh" Chase gives Bloodthrust his meal and goes back to Shaking both Wine and Sparkling water.
Bloodthrust finishes the meal and pays, and soon, once again, leaves.

Ethan growls, dropping the dead Soilder on the ground, wiping his Mouth that dripped blood. He hisses, slowly turning back to his Human form, and looking at the Two boys, Unconscious by his Feet.
"Ame, Thyst, rise up" He ordered. The two boys' opened their eyes and shot up, looking at Bloodthrust and Gasping at the Sight of him.
"My Lord!" Thyst and Ame gasped. "Where have you been my Lord??" Bloodthrust sighs, adjusting the Cuffs of his sleeves, "I went to my Brother-in-law for safety, Rest assured, UF is safe there" The brothers sighed in relief. One even praying while sobbing, "Lord Jeremith have answered our Prayers and granted our Masters safety!" Ame sobbed, Bloodthrust rolls his eyes, looking at the dead soilder. "Was he sent after you?" "No, he was sent after Galahad" Ame answered, wiping away his Tears, Thyst helps his Brother up and the Two only stare at Bloodthrust.
"... I'm not sure if Guanyu will agree to taking in more guests"
"Oh please my Lord! We dreadfully miss You and our Little princess!" Thyst pleaded, Ame nods along.
"please!"
"No"
"please my Lord! We'll behave!!"
"Guanyu already has a Care taker-"
"We'll be extra hands then! We can help around the house!"
Bloodthrust looks at them, In Disbelief of their sudden Determination.
"... No"
"But my lord!"
"I said no-" "We'll cut our salary!" "I don't even give you guys a Salary-" "Then We'll help take care of Princess!" "Yes! And we'll make sure to help you Move to Snowbloom quicker!" Bloodthrust looks at the Brothers, both with a Pleading face on, inching close to Bloodthrust.
"Fine" He sighs, The Brothers process the answer and Cheer. Hugging the other as they cried in Triumphant, Bloodthrust tsked, regretting the decision already, He looks at the Two and sighs, "Just behave would you??" He asked, The Two looked at him and Saluted.
"Yes sir!"
"Good grief.."
----
"-And, that's why their here" Bloodthrust ends the story. Guanyu blinks in Disbelief, and Leopard simply hummed, The two look behind them and see the Brothers playing Tea party with UF, with Ame serving UF some Juice in a plastic pot, and Thyst cutting some Cake.
"That's... New" Guanyu mumbled, Leopard simply shrugged. "At least I'd have more help around the House" Leopard said, smirking, Guanyu looks at him, offended, "Excuse?? I help!" "Yes, you help in increasing my work load, Master Guanyu" "The AUDACITY!" Guanyu cried, he goes to UF and weeps dramatically, "Little Chicklet! Did you hear what he said?? He said I'm dirty!" He cried. UF giggles at him, Patting his back, "I'll help you clean up Uncle Guanyu!" "Oh our Princess is so Helpful!" Ame sobbed, Thyst nods along. Guanyu scoffs, Rolling his eyes as he Crossed his arms, "UF is the only Person who understands me!" "That's because your like a Child, for a famous Chef, you sure are Stubborn" Bloodthrust muttered.
Guanyu then proceeds to start a Messy Pillow fight, that ends the night with Ame, Thyst, and Guanyu cleaning up the mess, under supervision of Leopard, whilst Bloodthrust puts UF to sleep.
What could go wrong with taking these people in?
