CCCXXXIX.

[dark_butler]

Asuka, at your convenience, may I have a word with you?

Alucard, I will tell you firmly, no to the toothpaste, and I note that mine has disappeared. Do not think you have had the last word.

Messrs. Gavin and Justice, a word, please?

Should I bring your mind request now?

Private;

I spoke with Henry Fitzroy, Walter. This is my father's and my fault for not being firm enough. You can't help your nature.

[dark_butler]

That would be appreciated, thank you.

Private
Indeed.

[steeldame]

May I know who is this "Asuka"?

Private

I suppose you know I believe that what you did was absolutely foolish, however I sincerely cannot blame you for what is in your nature.

The fault is mine. Mine and my father's for not paying heed and trying to stop you before it reaches to this critical point.

[dark_butler]

Asuka will be staying in our guest room for a few days.

Private
There is no point in trying to make you believe otherwise.

What is done is done. I accept responsibility for my actions and will do so in court as well.

[steeldame]

I see.

Private;

As should I. I should be tried for negligence.

Private

[dark_butler]

Negligence is for matters under your control.
