"Frederick!" Nicholas Crow called out to him.
With hurried steps, Fred climbed the staircase, spreading his arms to embrace the man. "Brother…"
"It's been a while, Frederick." Nicholas smiled and returned the embrace. He patted Fred's back before he let him go to look at the man walking behind Fred. Nicholas shifted his attention to Vincent.
Fred nodded. He introduced Vincent to Nicholas. "My oldest child and only son, Vincent..."
"It's an honor to meet you, Master Crow." Vincent politely greeted the man immediately, stretching his arm for a handshake.
Instead of accepting Vincent's hand, Nicholas embraced him tight. "You grow up well." He said in a cheerful tone. He even sounded proud. "You look just like your father when he is younger."
