One child was enough for Murdoc to handle. In fact, one child was more than Murdoc could handle. It had become abundantly clear that he'd dropped the ball in regards to raising Eridan. He had tried to be a good Father, but any doting seemed to become nagging and any attention paid was under the pretence that he expected Eridan to do better.

He had come to Parent's Day with the intention of showing him that he truly did care for him. That...hadn't gone exactly as planned. Especially when he bumped into that old flame from so many years ago. He knew not to trust everything she said. At least. Now he knew that. He used to believe every word from her lips was something of a divine truth, nowadays he was more skeptical. Still, when she mentioned she had a daughter, the same age as Eridan in that sly tone of voice, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

He's sure he's seen her likeness in the halls. The same facial structure, the same eyes, the same wide smile (though it seemed less malicious) and the same mass of waved hair. He isn't sure if he can pinpoint his own likeness on her, he hasn't had the courage to confront her or even get a good look at her.

How does one go about such a thing? "Hello Student, I believe I am your Father. The one you've never met." It isn't something one can wedge into polite conversation, but he's avoided it long enough. After class, he asks Eridan to meet him in his office after the day's classes and, pretending as though he simply wants him to be comfortable, suggests he brings his friend from hufflepuff with the wavy hair.

Now he's sitting at his desk chair, staring pointedly at the two empty chairs infront of him. He's been mulling over exactly what he wants to say since he decided he'd do this. If he didn't feel like a terrible Father before, he certainly feels like one now.

Of course Eridan is going to drag Fef along with him. Any excuse to get her to talk to him, now that he'd sort of flown off the handle about the Karkat thing. Not that he didn't believe that his father didn't have some sort of suspicious purpose to all of this, but when he weighed it all he decided that he didn't give much of a fuck about the old man's plans.

And so with a certainly excessive amount of pleading, whining, wheedling, cajoling and possibly a hint of bribery, Eridan dragged Feferi his best friend secret sister not girlfriend fucking Karkat along to meet their mutual parent.

"What do you want now?" No hello, hi dad, how nice to see you. Just barging in and flopping himself down in one of those chairs with the air of somebody dragged to the torture chamber. What Feferi would think of this was anybody's guess.
