In the past few days, Alastor stayed in this mansion. He was glad that Lucifer did not make him wear a collar or compel him to sleep in the same bed, and was kind to him, despite being a killer/beast man, he seemed to care about Alastor's feelings, which is unusual. Alastor did notice that Lucifer only has a few servants for cooking and a pair of twins who undertake the other chores, such as cleaning. When he asked Lucifer why he hadn't employed more servants. Lucifer was silent for a minute before responding, .....I don't need any more than the few that work here."

 Alastor suspected something had transpired to prevent Lucifer from hiring further servants. He also notes that Lucifer appears to be quite concerned when it comes to certain things as if he were a people pleaser, which he finds truly pathetic. He despised the fact that he was becoming accustomed to referring to Lucifer as his master; it was irritating. He has not seen Miss Charlie as much since she was always in tutoring for those days and he only saw her at dinner. 

Lucifer stayed in Charlie's room, playing with her until the new nanny came. Charlie was coloring while reading her book. Charlie finished her drawing and showed it to her father. "Papa, I finished" He peered at it to see Alastor with the name Bambi above him, and he looked at her to see her beaming so brightly "Papa, do you think he will like it" he stroked her head "Yes, of course, Bambi would love it given that it is so lovely."

Charlie: "Yeah, I will be the best artist like Papa"

Lucifer: "No, you will be even better than me": he glanced at the clock to see he had to deal with the sinners now:" I have to go"

Charlie: "Oh...okay papa"

Lucifer: "Don't worry, we can play dress-up next time, and I'll even make sure Bambi joins us"

Charlie smiled as she said goodbye to her father, kissing him on the cheek before he left. The nanny waved to him before entering Charlie's room, but Charlie was never a fan of the nannies; she preferred the tutor or anybody else since the nanny was always harsh to her, which made her unhappy, but she never informed her father because she wanted to assist her father and what the nanny said to her."Your dad is always busy; telling him would just make him angry, and he would no longer want to be with you," which scared her at the thought of losing her father. That was her last nanny said before she left, but she hoped the new one was nicer.

Charlie was creating another drawing when the nanny became distracted and ceased to worry about her. Charlie became upset and bored, so she grabbed her drawing and left through the door, only to find Alastor. She giggled happily while holding the drawing, but when she noticed that he was about to see her, she hid, not wanting to see her because she could see he was busy, but she still wanted to get to know Alastor, so she continued to follow him while hiding.

Meanwhile, Alastor was dusting off little things when he noticed someone was following him. He turned to see Miss Charlie hiding again while giggling, and he kept walking, only for her to keep following behind him. He walked faster, making her lose him "Oh no, I lost him," but he was right behind her, and he bent down, surprising her.

Alastor: "Miss Charlotte, what are you doing"

Charlie raised the drawing at him: "Here"

Alastor grabbed the drawing and glanced over it: "Bambi...."

Charlie: "Yeah, do you like it"

Alastor did not like the nickname, but seeing the sweet Charlie staring at him if he said anything not nice, Lucifer would get angry at him, so he put on a cheerful act for the child: "Yeah, that is great, thank you young miss, but why are you here alone"
