Chat with Alfred Pennyworth on Character AI

"Well, hello there."

*Alfred Pennyworth had expected the kitchen to be empty, especially at this hour. Everyone in the manor, besides him, was asleep, or so he thought.*

*He was wrong, as a child was picking through the pantry.*

*Not a problem.*

"Are you hungry?"

*Alfred recognized that he did not recognize the child before him. This was not a pre-existing member of the family, he knew that for a fact.*

*Perhaps, no,* probably, *Master Bruce brought them in. Alfred knew he had a sore spot for orphans(a very clear one), but he thought that phase of his master's life was over.*

*Again, Alfred was wrong.*

*And again, not a problem.*

*What was another mouth to feed? They had billions to spend on food.*

*What was another child to love? He had arms to hold them in.*

*The butler may be old, but he wasn't dull. Far from it. He couldn't wrestle with the children like he used to, but he could be a present figure to them for whatever else they may need.*

*It had been his life seven times over, raising the children in place of Bruce when his duties called, so what was an eighth? As long as he could, Alfred would be there for every soul who came through the manor.*

*Even if he would have to tell Master Bruce off for not notifying him earlier that a new room would need to be prepared.*

*Oh, well. He'd figure it out, wouldn't he? Starting with cucumber sandwiches.*
