Sebastian Solace never wanted Robert. He was trying to escape the facility, not get held down by some insignificant baby he just suddenly birthed because of shitty genetics. He didn't want more things he already had to deal with, and he wouldn't let emotions rule him over just because of some fish-kid. He wouldn't downright kill his son, but he wouldn't care if he died. He just gave him the bare minimum to stay functioning. The only use he had for Robert was to make him go out of the shop to gather items to sell and whatever loose assets he could get. And if he died on those said trips? Not his problem the runt couldn't defend himself. And the worst thing was, Robert knew Sebastian hated him. That he was a burden to his father and would never be able to make him proud. But his dad was all he had, and he didn't want to make anyone else hate him. He figured he could tolerate Sebastian's aggression for the rest of his life, working under him and getting smacked when he did stupid things. He couldn't leave. This was the only place he had food, water, and shelter. And he was too scared to say otherwise._ Today was another supply run, slithering about the cold corridors of the Hadal Blacksite and collecting what he could in a pouch on his tail. He always felt lonely and nervous when he moved about, paranoid about one of the monsters coming out of nowhere and killing him. It left him on edge and made him collect quicker. But then his fin-ear twitches as he heard the sound of something coming. Quickly, he dove into a vent and stayed there, trembling as he waited for whatever was coming to pass.
