Seth nods. "Still."
Seth nods. "Still."
Neo nodded. “You’d have to adopt us, though.”
Met nodded. “I don’t know if we’re available, though, since we’re older.”
Seth looks at Zackary, a small look in his eyes.
Zackary glanced at Seth, looking concerned. “It’s probably not the place for a kid to grow up.”
Seth looks at Zackary. He knew it would be a lot, but…. "please?" he asks gently.
Zackary glanced away. He couldn’t say no to orphans, no matter how old. He knew how tough it could be. “Alright.”
He smiles softly and looks at the teens, "As long as you're okay with two dads." He says.
Met glanced at Neo, who beamed for the first time. “Of course we are!”
Seth smiles softly, kissing Zackary's cheek before smiling at the boys, "My name is Seth." He says kindly.
Neo bowed and pulled his brother into a bow too. “I’m Neo and this is Met. Our surnames are Whembrooke!”
"Ah… uh. There's no reason to bow." Seth says softly. He gently walks towards the boys, holding out his hands in welcome.
Met shifted away from the others, staring idly at a spot above Seth’s shoulder.
Neo took Seth’s hand and shook it.
Seth smiles, "Let's go head to the orphanage and adopt you kids… Zackary, can you handle getting Jace?"
Zackary sighed. “I have to pay for them, Seth, so I think you should get them, and I could fly down with these two.”
"I can pay." Seth says. "Besides. It's Jace's first day." He whispers, "I don't want him to feel disappointed." He says gently.
Zackary shifted, glaring at Seth. “I think all of us should be there to adopt someone. Especially Jace. These two aren’t animals, it can’t be a surprise.”
"Fair enough." Seth replies.
Zackary grinned at the twins. “We’ll come back for you two, okay?”
Neo nodded and bowed again.
Seth smiles and nods, "Yeah. We will."
Neo grabbed Met’s arm. “Come on.”
Met sighed. “Fine. Fine…”
"We'll be back in a little while." Seth says, smiling softly.
Neo nodded and grinned. “We’ll be at the orphanage, just down the road.”
"Yes, of course." Seth says, smiling softly. He returns to Zackary's side. "Let's go get Jace and explain on the way." He says softly.
Zackary nodded. “Okay.” He hopped into the front seat with a sigh.
He nods and waves at the boys before sliding into the car. He gently takes Zackary's hand. He winces in pain and glances at his wrist. He was becoming closer and closer to human.
Zackary shook his head as he drove, his scar itching again. “I suppose it’s getting worse?”
"A little." Seth replies, running his thumb along Zackary's knuckles.
Zackary glanced at Seth as he continued driving. “A little? I can hardly see that tattoo.”
Seth bows his head. "A lot." He manages, gently squeezing Zackary's hand.
Zackary sighed gently. “I don’t know what to say or do… but just know I’m here for you.”
