A man stepped through greeting Charles before turning to look at Ratonhnhaké:ton.
"Who is this boy?" the man questioned Charles.
"His name is Raton and he is Ziio's son" Charles replied.
"It is Ratonhnhaké:ton" Stated Ratonhnhaké:ton, glaring at Charles for shortening his name, receiving a sheepish look from Charles
Ratonhnhaké:ton fidget as the man stared at him, looking out of place due to his native clothing and that caked his body, while the man and Charles Lee were dressed in high standard of clothing. The man was standing tall and proud, hands clasped behind his back, dark hair with small flecks of silver tied back in a manly ponytail. The man motioned Charles to follow him out of the study, leaving Ratonhnhaké:ton to sit on the lounge looking out the window, as the birds chirped in the bare trees. Loud whispers of voices could be heard outside the door, it went on for a while before Ratonhnhaké:ton started to get tired from the long day. Slowly he drifted off to sleep before falling into a heavier sleep. The door opened 30minutes after Ratonhnhaké:ton had fallen asleep. Haytham and Charles stepped into the room looking for Ratonhnhaké:ton before they realised that he was on the lounge asleep. The man slowly an quietly walked up to Ratonhnhaké:ton, picking him up in his arms he turned and exited the study with Charles following close behind him. Reaching a guest room on the second room opposite his own room, he laid Ratonhnhaké:ton under the sheet before pulling the sheets up and tucking him in. Exiting the room, shutting the door behind him, he turned to Charles and directed him to his own room before heading to his own room and settling in for the night.
When Ratonhnhaké:ton awoke he realised that he wasn't in the study. Sitting up quickly with a gasp he looked around the room, realizing that he was in a bedroom. He surveyed the room before a quite cough broke his observation, turning quickly to look at the source of the cough, he almost fell off the bed. The source was coming from the man he meet last night, who was currently sitting in the chair beside the bed.
"I believe you were looking for me" said the man breaking the silence in the room.
"You are Haytham Kenway?" questioned Ratonhnhaké:ton.
"Yes" replied the man known as Haytham.
"You are my father?" Ratonhnhaké:ton asked.
"Yes" replies Haytham in a unsure voice.
"What will happen now?"questioned Ratonhnhaké:ton.
"You will receive a proper upbringing, you will be tutored, you will be taught how to fight, and you will be dressed properly" stated Haytham as he eyed Ratonhnhaké:ton's clothes with a disgusted look in his eyes.
Silence once again came over them, but this time it didn't last long as a loud rumbling broke the silence. Ratonhnhaké:ton looked down embarrassed, Haytham just sighed as he has no idea how to be a father. Standing up Haytham showed Ratonhnhaké:ton the bathroom before telling him that he will be waiting outside the room to direct him to the dining room. Once Ratonhnhaké:ton was finished with the bathroom he headed out of the bedroom and followed Haytham to the dining room. Stepping into the room Ratonhnhaké:ton realised that Charles was already up and serving himself breakfast. Shuffling forward Ratonhnhaké:ton took the seat opposite Charles, looking at the table he realised it was full of fresh fruits, nuts and bread. Ratonhnhaké:ton quickly filled his plate afraid that the food would be taken from him, as the people in the village would take his food if he wasn't careful. Breakfast proceeded in silence with only the clinking of knives and forks, while Ratonhnhaké:ton used his hands, not having used those items before. Breakfast went quickly before they retired back to the study, Ratonhnhaké:ton felt the fullest he had been in a long time. Settling down on the same couch he had sat on yesterday with Charles doing the same and Haytham sitting behind his desk.
"Charles, Raton will be staying here, and he will also be tutored." stated Haytham while receiving a glare from Ratonhnhaké:ton, because he had shorten his name. " Would you like to help?" He asked.
"Yes" replied Charles,
"Good" said Haytham as he stroked his chin in thought before turning to Ratonhnhaké:ton "Your lessons will begin next week" he said.
Thus allowing him plenty of time to prepare the lessons.
"Ok" said Ratonhnhaké:ton with a small nod.
The rest of the day went fast, with Ratonhnhaké:ton spending time with both Charles and Haytham, getting to know them, but it all slowed down when they asked about his village. Ratonhnhaké:ton would answer questions about his mother, but if they asked anything about himself, he would freeze. This drew worrisome expressions from the men, but then they would move onto a question that he would answer. What would he tell them about his life and if he did tell them would they start treating him the same as his village, this was a risk that Ratonhnhaké:ton did not want to take and so they left it. once the night came they once again retreat to bed Ratonhnhaké:ton learning that the bed he slept in earlier was now his bedroom.
The days went fast for Ratonhnhaké:ton and soon it had turned into a week, he grew closer to both Charles and Haytham, but he could not call Haytham father yet. while Haytham did not say anything to Ratonhnhaké:ton about his clothing, his manners nor the way he ate, he knew that once Haytham started to tutor him it would all change. So once the Monday morning arrived signalling that he had been there for a week he was ready for the change and that ladies and gentlemen is where the true story will begin.
