[Locked to Alfred Pennyworth]
Mr. Pennyworth,
Sorry I forgot to tell you this earlier, but when I got back home after meeting you, I made the cocoa recipe that you gave me. My ward (Buffy) really enjoyed it, so thank you for that.
I know this is probably a stupid question (because I can't imagine it would be at all easy to answer), but... I know that you took care of the Waynes for a long time, and you were always able to help them in little ways that didn't really require you to be able to kick ass or be really brave or anything.
I want to be able to do that.
It's just, I'm a big guy, but I'm not brave, and I'm not good at fighting, and Buffy doesn't need me to protect her anyway (she's the Slayer, back in her world - destined to hunt vampires and demons and stuff. She's good at her job.), not like most Guardians do, but I don't want to be just this useless... puppy trailing after her for the rest of her life. And that's really all I am right now.
So, yeah, if you could just... give me some advice, or some pointers, or just an idea of where to start, I'd really appreciate it, and would owe you big time.
Thanks. And thanks again for the cocoa recipe. :)
