Raphael looked at the little kid in front of him who refused to head inside the inn.

By now, he has already deduced that he is Cale Henituse. Same eyes, looks like him when having black hair. And a disguise.

For context, he also has red hair, wearing a disguise to make it black. He had gotten the disguise necklace when he had first opened his eyes in front of that bastard God.
He figured it had something to do with the 'Thames' in his name. Cale's mother's name was Jour. Jour Thames.

What's the connection between us?

"Why do you not want to go in?"
He asked the pouting kid who was glaring at the ground as if it had personally offended him.

It probably did considering his appearance...

".... They said, beggars aren't allowed inside." Came a small reply.

"But are you a beggar? Also, have you tried asking at this inn?" Raphael asked even though he already knew the answer after seeing Cale's ears becoming red.

"Haahh... " If Raphael's sigh made Cale fidgety then he didn't comment on it.

"Come on in." They walked inside the rather lively hall, with an open dining space to the left and a reception area to the far right.

Freesia came to greet them when they crossed the reception area.
"Welcome back Boss!" Her eyes seemed to be asking about the little boy following him like a duckling.

"Let's go to my room, bring in dinner,.....for two." He said to Freesia and a passing waiter before taking Cale with him.

Freesia followed from behind, occasionally stealing glances at the boy, who looked like a carbon copy of their boss.

The room at the top most corner, wasn't anything special but it wasn't bad either.
There were minimalist decorations and the room had more of an office ambiance than a bedroom..

Cale looked straight at the man, who went to sit at the sofa in the corner.

"Oh! Before eating, do you want to take a bath?" Raphael asked, unsure of what to do, since he never took care of a child before.

"Ah! That's right, do you want to take a bath, child? You seem battered!" Freesia also looked at child who was now looking at her with eyes the same shade of brown as their boss.
Now that she's looking closer, he also has that hint of red in his eyes like their boss!

Is he really his secret love child or what?

".... I" Cale opened his mouth but before he could continue, his world tilted and without his control, his body fell down.

"?!" Raphael immediately got up to run to the child's side. Freesia had already held him before he could touch the ground.
"Hey! Hey child, are you ok?!" He patted the kid's face but he was already unconscious.

"He must have fainted out of hunger! I will call for a doctor." At Freesia's words, Raphael nodded and pulled the child into his arms and picked him up.
While Freesia ran out to call for a doctor, he put the child on his bed to tend to him.

He noticed the necklace that fell off of Cale and noticed him getting his red hair back. But he ignored it and just put the necklace back around his neck and hid it beneath his little white shirt.

Now that i think about it, he is too small for a ten year old child. Huh.

He will not be Raphael, if he did not master the art of ignoring things that are of no use to him, even though he still ends up recording it and thinking about it later... (😒🙂)
