Cafe Fina was Walter's last stop before leaving. There would be a car waiting for him on the causeway, from there, it would be a remarkably short trip home.

He let himself into the restaurant and found Alfred under the lone light on in the closed establishment.

"Sir?"

"Ah, Walter," Alfred said, standing up. "Have you eaten yet?"

Walter shook his head. "Not since the beach, sir. I had an evening workshop."

"Ah, well, in that case." He reached behind him on the table and tossed a wrapped Cafe Fina to-go container to Walter. "For the road."

Walter caught the package and smiled. "Thank you, sir. I will not have to touch the MREs after all."

Alfred nodded. "I remember British MREs. Death before I let one of my pupils survive on one of those."

He motioned to the table. "Sit with me for a moment. You have time before you leave."

Walter took the indicated seat. "Yes, sir?"

Alfred sat down and sighed. "Sir Hellsing told me where you will be going."

walter_n_wires July 4 2006, 23:13:00 UTC

"Ah." Walter nodded carefully. "It will be..." he groped for a word that didn't seem too cocky, "...challenging."

"That's putting it mildly," Alfred said. He cocked his head to the side. "You know that your greatest weakness is your overcondfidence. And that you've killed many a vampire and demon and monster in your time here. But I'm an old man. And I worry. And you are going out to face a monster capable of far greater evil than any demon could hope to be capable of."

"Yes, sir," Walter said slowly. "I have learned a lot from you and my time here in Fandom. I will be careful."

badassbutler July 4 2006, 23:51:55 UTC

Alfred nodded. "Here." He slid the package across the table. "Take this."

walter_n_wires July 4 2006, 23:55:27 UTC

Walter took the package but didn't open it. "Thank you, sir. Should I open this now?"

badassbutler July 4 2006, 23:58:35 UTC

Alfred shrugged. "It's your package. You may open it now or open it on the car ride over."

Walter nodded and opened the package, pulling out a well-made waistcoat, that nevertheless had the soft feel of a piece of clothing that had been worn and well cared for before.

Walter turned it over, examining it carefully before smiling at Alfred. "Thank you, sir. It is a very thoughtful gift."

Alfred nodded. "Wore it myself on my first undercover mission."
