Godric, Eric, and Milo arrive at the nest ahead of everyone and head to his room. "You can borrow some of my clothes Milo," Godric says

"Thanks, do you think I can sneak a quick shower too?"

"Yes, there are towels and everything you need right through there. Here you can wear these." Godric walks out of his closet holding a folded stack of clothes out to Milo and pointing towards an on-suite bathroom.

Milo smiles gratefully and runs off closing the door behind him. Godric and Eric wait in silence until the shower starts up and Eric speaks.

"Far, hvem er dette mennesket?"(Father, who is this human?)

"Han heter Milo. Han ble holdt i kjelleren med meg." Godric responds in Norwegian(His name is Milo. He was kept in the basement with me)

"Hvordan vet du at han ikke er en del av fellesskapet? Han kunne bruke deg til å komme til flere vampyrer!" Eric asks passionately (How do you know he isn't a part of The Fellowship? He could be using you to get to more vampires!)

"Ser jeg ut som jeg lett lurer, min sønn? Stoler du ikke lenger på dommen min? Jeg stoler på ham og det er nok."(Do I look like I'm easily cheated, my son? Do you no longer trust my judgment? I trust him and that is enough.)

The shower cuts off and the two vampires hear Milo humming under his breath. Godric has a small content smile on his face.

"Godric, I'm stuck!" Milo says

"Do you need help little one?" Godric asks

Milo opens the door to the bathroom and walks out. He's got a pair of pants on and a shirt stuck halfway on. "I forgot to undo the buttons and now I can't get my head through"

Eric stares at Milo in shock for two reasons. One, his scars are in plain view and Eric didn't expect them. Two, he got Godric to laugh and Eric can't remember the last time he has heard it full of such genuine joy.

Godric helps Milo pull the shirt down and they smile at each other. "I hear the others arriving, let's head down there."

The trio walks down the hall and arrives in the living room where the party is getting started.

"Sheriff, you have a few people who want to thank you for waiting." One of Godric's underlings announces.

Godric sighs and turns to Milo, "I'm sorry I have to go accept their well wishes, I will talk to you later."

"Go on, I'll just mingle till then" Milo smiles and they walk their separate ways.

Godric sits in his chair absently nodding to all the vampires and pets that approach him. He's watching Milo wander around and talk to others. He turns to face Eric when he kneels at his side.

"I've arranged for an AB Negative Human for you, extremely rare," Eric smirks

"Thank you, but I'm not hungry for AB Negative."

"I can get you any blood type you want, just say the word."

Godric turns back to watch Milo who was at the snack table smiling as he ate a cookie.

"Oh, I see. You hunger for his blood" Eric says as he watches Godric smile at Milo.
