MAIN COURSE IN FATHERHOOD • CHAPTER VI: Meet the Butler and the Assasin •
====
Leopard Rolper, The Infamous Butler of Guanyu De Flores. He is the only known house worker that Guanyu has in his household, but none know that Guanyu also had another House worker, and that was Trish Valvet, a tiny, Peacock spider hybrid. Who happens to be, a Assasin and part time Maid for the Serpent Chef.
Leopard and Trish are married for Five years, before they even worked for Guanyu. And Trish, was a special worker that Guanyu keeps, as mentioned before, Trish was a Assasin of his, though Guanyu didn't entirely used her to purposely kill, simply tracking people down and knowing their Information was her Job at most.
Rarely was murder ever involved.
"Trish? I've brought food" Leopard said, locking the door behind him. Trish looks down and smiles, sliding down from her web and landing by the Feline's feet. "Hi Leo~" she greeted, Leopard kneels down and his Wife kisses his cheek. "Hello too, Trish" He greeted back. "What's dinner for tonight??" She asked, Leopard smiles, opening the Tray to reveal a set of Pastries, to which Delighted the Spider. "Woa~ That's quite the meal!" She giggled, Leopard nods, setting it on the Table as he starts to Strip his coat.
"How's the little chicklet?" Trish asked, already digging down on some Macarons. Leopard shrugs, "It's been fine, the Child helps around the house and is quite Nice, and mature for her age" "I guess it's from the Constant running and laying low that caused it" the spider frowned, looking at Leopard, whom, nodded.
"Perhaps"
----
The next day came, and Leopard arose and immediately went to Work. He starts by cleaning the House, with some help from Ame and Thyst who were awake hours earlier. "How long have you worked with Master Ethan?" He asked, Thyst shrugged, awhile Ame hummed in thought. "Ever since he was new to Snowdenburg" He answered, "Hmm.. How old are you two?" "Since we're twins, We're about to turn 26 this year" "So, 10 years?" Leopard mused. The brothers nodded, finishing cleaning the Kitchen quickly.
"What about you, Mr. Leopard, how long have you worked with Mr. Flores?" Ame asked, looking at the Feline, Leopard hummed, looking at the book he was dusting off and smiles. "Ever since he started Cooking" He said with a smile, putting the Book back and going to lift a Vase off to dust off the Counter. "I- Only for Two years??" Thyst coughed, looking surprised, Leopard nods, Setting down the Vase once again and moving towards the Outside Patio.
"Percisely" "But- It seems that you know Mr. Flores for so long! It's hard to believe you've only known him for Two years! That's but a Small time to us Bats-" "I suppose it came to a Point where he can be easily understood" Leopard Interrupted. "And that Spider from last night?" Leopard pauses from attaching the hose to the Faucet. He chuckled and looks at the Two, "Your Curios about everything, aren't you?" "We just.. Want to know more about our New workplace so we'd help more easier" Ame admitted, Thyst hits his shoulder which made Ame flinch in pain, pouting as he rubbed the sore spot.
"But.. Yes, we do want to know more.." Thyst admitted with a Red face, looking impatient and embarrassed.
"Alright then, sit down you two" Leopard mused, going towards the Outdoor Pavilion.
----
"I met Guanyu when me and Trish- the Woman you saw last night- were on our Trip back to our Homeland, back in Green Light village" Leopard starts, mixing the Paste to create a Filling for the Bread. Ame accepts the mixed paste and spreads some on the Bread he held, whilst Thyst drank some Cranberry Juice, Leopard continues on.
"We met him when he was setting up a Small shop, he offered us a Free meal since, I qoute "You look hungry, seems like you've been traveling for days". He wasn't wrong, from Green Light to Angstrom and back, it's been long, Angstrom is a Mountain range and the Weather wasn't all too good. Of course, Trish, hungry, agreed with no Hesitation and he dragged us in"
"Huh, sounds like a Weird approach but, I guess we all have our ways" Thyst shrugged, Ame chuckled at his Comment.
"We waited for only a short while, he came out, and the Food's arouma alone was amazing. The way Trish looked so ready to pounce on him to take the Food was hilarious, drool kept rolling down her chin even as Guanyu came to us and served the Meal. It was wonderful to taste such a Meal after a Week of traveling non stop.. Afterwards we helped around the shop in Payment, which, lead to him hiring us, Then Well, this" Leopard smiled, reminiscing the Time his Life changed thanks to Guanyu.
"That's a nice story" Ame smiled, finishing his Cup. "What a coincidence that you two Met because of a Hungry erm.. Friend? Wife? Girlfriend??" "Wife, Trish is my wife" Ame and Thsyt choked and looked at Leopard in Disbelief.
"Wife?!"
"Yes, Trish is my Wife"
Leopard answered, looking nonchalant.
"I- Wow"
"Note to keep for yourselves, Never challenge Trish into a Fight, she'd win, She's an assasin after all"
Ame and Thyst stood shocked, Leopard chuckled, continuing to Stand up and continue his chores.
---
"So, uhm, Ms. Valvet?" The spider looks at the Two Brothers and smiles, stopping the Vacuum cleaner and facing at them. "Yes, Ame, Thyst?" "We uhm, rarely see you around here and..." Ame gulped- but Thyst pushes him aside and gulps before continuing.
"Are you a Assasin??"
"Why yes, I am!"
The Spider smiles, leaving the Brothers stone frozen as they slowly inched away. Ame hides behind thyst, his Wings shaking in fear, "Y-Your not gonna Kill us- then Eat us- are you, Ms. Valvet??" He pleaded, almost sobbing. Trish stares at them before giggling, muttering something in Italian before looking at the Two, she smirks, her fangs showing.
"I might, if you piss me off~"
She licked her fangs, hissing- and that made the Brothers go off and run for their lives.
That was enough Information for the two.
----
"Uncle Guanyu?"
Guanyu looks down, Seeing UF, whom, smiles as soon as they met eye to eye. She hops onto the Stool and looks at what he's doing- he was in the Middle of making Egg fried rice.
"Can I help?"
"... Can you stir in a Wok?"
UF eagerly nods. Guanyu smiles, giving her the Rag to hold the handle and then the Spatula, UF grabs each and starts to Stir the cooking rice, Guanyu laughs shortly. Impressed at her work, He goes off and grabs the Toppings, and then turns off the Heat for the Cooked, crispy Chicken skin.
"Alright! Step aside UF!"
UF does so, making Guanyu have room to put in the Toppings and continue stirring and Tossing the cooking rice. UF watches in Awe, Her Eyes trained on the Rice flying in the air whenever Guanyu tossed it.
"Is that today' breakfast?"
"Yep! Wanna help in making some Eggs and Bacon with some Tomato soup?" "Sure!" As Guanyu puts the finished Egg fried rice in a Large bowl, he and UF get to work in making the rest of the Breakfast. UF cooked the Eggs, whilst Guanyu handled chopping the Vegetables for the Soup, and helping cook the Bacons. The two had fun, even if more focused on cooking, the small chit chat and eventual laughter here and there made the Moment memorable to The small chicklet wannabe.
UF wouldn't admit it, but she's excited to Looking forward to spending time with her Uncle.
