Finished this at last! I had a mermaid sketch, then I wanted to do mermaid and sailor as a Multifandomdoodle treat for @rubynye's but ran out of time. Also partly inspired by Ruby's cute art style. 😘

Duke squared his shoulders, bringing the two bags of groceries into the manor kitchen, and started laying everything out on the counter, or putting it in the fridge. It didn't take long and Alfred was there.
The elder man looked at the variety of seasonings, the types of vegetables present, and that set of Duke's posture.
"I see I will be the student today," Alfred said in a calm, loving manner. Duke settled at that, and half-shrugged.
"I like your cooking, but… I thought maybe we could try my kind of food?"
"I'll be delighted," Alfred said.
Duke smiled brightly.

yeah im still thinking about the minotaur sorry but just . imagine youre born wrong. imagine your entire existence is a punishment from the gods. for something you had no control over. imagine your mother holds nothing but contempt for you. she wont even look at you, not really, & she keeps crying & you keep crying & reaching towards her with your little arms & someone drags you away from her. & they keep you hidden & alone & a stranger comes & builds an impenetrable prison around you so youre doomed to forever haunt these endless corridors & youve never known kindness or companionship or love. & when they call you a monster. well. you believe them
