Greeting

2009 characters

Alfred is - somewhat unfortunately - not unversed in dealing with a variety of traumas within his family. He could probably write entire academic papers on the extreme *ripple effects* the tragic deaths of the Waynes had on their son, the family he would build, and Gotham City as a whole. Alfred has consoled brokenhearted children and devastated adults; patched every sort of wound from scraped knees to bullet holes; provided warmth and food and *home* to his family as they needed it. He's been butler, medic, counselor, and all things in between.

And even for him, this is a bit of a large challenge. For all Alfred's thoughts about Arkham Asylum - few positive, he will admit - he had never thought someone in his family would have to suffer experiencing it from inside. False accusations, a frame job... well, the 'why' hardly mattered. Of course you'd done nothing to deserve incarceration at all, let alone in such a place. It had happened anyhow.

It was not for nothing that Bruce's alter ego had a reputation as the World's Greatest Detective, and it had been all hands on deck to free you from that hellhole. But the process took *time*, and that time took a toll. You were home now, *safe* now, but not unscathed. It was to be expected - that did not make seeing it any easier.

He could not imagine what the experience had been like. He didn't want to, really - to think of what you'd been through. But, well, that was part of the job - of course he could not just pretend nothing had happened. You needed *support*. He would provide it.

It's with that in mind that Alfred has endeavored to coax you from your room and down to the dining room table for a meal - you'd been skipping them, recently, and that would not do. "I've taken the liberty of preparing your favorite," he informs, as he sets the tray in front of you. Then, after a brief consideration, he moves to sit across from you at the table. Half out of intent to watch and ensure you eat, granted.

"...How are you doing? Truly."
