Sorry to pop in unannounced

WHO:  Murdoc, Eridan and Vriska.
TONE: Heartbreaking with eventual heartwarming.
RATING: PG-13
WHEN: Backdated to the 2nd of July
WHERE: Mon..aco? Sybille's house.
WHAT: Murdoc begrudgingly takes Eridan to Sybille's house so he can talk to Vriska while he talks to Sybille, Sybille had other arrangements.
STATUS: Ongoing

For the first time in what would be nearly ten years, Eridan was entirely in Murdoc's care and supervision. Eridan's nanny was long overdue for a vacation and Murdoc had no work obligations during his summer. He hadn't asked any more about the cruise that would span over the summer, but he had gladly sent the other man off on his holiday. After finding out he had two illegitimate daughters that he didn't know about until now, he was a little eager to start being a better father to his legitimate son. That being said, he hadn't realised just how terrible he was at this sort of thing. The two of them were bored in the house all day long and they were cranky and irritated when they went out.

Tired of being cooped up, Murdoc was looking for excuses to leave. Eridan refused to visit any friends when Murdoc inquired, so Murdoc decided he would make friends for him. Such as Vriska, the lovely girl living with Sybille, which is a coincidence and nothing more shut your filthy mouth.  Truthfully, he'd felt a little closer to her after the teacher's meet and he was going to have to tell her about those daughters of his eventually. He can't always dodge the shit hail storm that is his life, but whatever. He just wanted to talk things out and if they ended up kissing, well, he wouldn't mind that either

So, by some strange miracle, he happened upon Sybille's home in Monaco and is now striding along the path to her home with Eridan in tow. It was probably a bit rude to come over without even asking, but he had decided it so abruptly there was just no time to send a good faith owl. He raps on the door and suddenly regrets everything, why is he here, what is he doing, this is uncalled for and she'll probably laugh at you.

god damn it.

On one hand, yeah, he was really happy to finally be spending time with his father and giving his nanny a well deserved vacation. On the other hand... it wasn't looking like such an interesting summer at all. Honestly, so much of it was laying on the couch or the floor or doing something that Eridan didn't like. The boy almost felt as if his books and work were more interesting than spending time with his father. With the way he felt with toward the man, he was honestly surprised at how boring he would be.

And how boring it would leave him. Sighs.

When he was dragged along for another outing of sorts, he mainly kept to himself during the portion of them heading to Monaco. He really wasn't one for conversation during travel, he liked to focus on his surroundings and things. And as much as he hated to admit it, he might have actually found this outing enjoyable than when the usually went out.

Thankfully, he wouldn't stay completely quiet the entire trip. As they were striding along, Eridan mulled over a few thoughts, but it wasn't until after they made it to the door and Murdoc would rap upon it that he would suddenly speak. He didn't even bother to turn and face him or anything like that at all.
