//Messy sketch BUT here you go, smol German papa Karl about to wreck Chris fucking Redfields shit if there's any kind of misstep, along with Adalwulf being concerned for the safety of... ah... everyone. :'D

Long description below, basically the 'short' version of the situation! And possible CW.

---

Context- To put it bluntly, the twins nearly killed Emelia.
It was the second time they had ever called Chris' team for something, and Adalwulf was the one who did so, because momma Emelia was NOT doing very well and she knew it. Upon actually getting 'modern' medical attention, it was discovered that she absolutely needed an emergency caesarian at some point otherwise... y'know.
Yeah, Karl... didn't take that so well upon hearing it. Emelia herself did manage to make a slightly uncomfortable nervous joke ("It's not the first time I've been cut open..."), but given the trauma both of them shared, medical shit like that was definitely a mild trigger. Maybe not as much for Emelia, but DEFINITELY to Karl; and when you're told that the love of your life and spouse for about 11-12 years at that point will most likely die without the procedure, with the two she's carrying having a chance of the same fate if SHE goes, you're bound to JUUUUUUST slightly lose your shit. His panic was definitely well deserved, and the fact it was Chris that told him amped up his anger as well- and Chris basically snapping at him to calm the fuck down absolutely did NOT help.
What DID help was his eldest child, sweet Adalwulf at about 22-23, stepping in and talking him down, telling him that it was the best chance they had.
Of course, Karl calmed, but not before pretty much threatening Chris that he'd kill him if anything happened to Emelia or the twins before walking off. Thankfully (obviously) there was a happy ending! Emelia was fine, twins were fine, Adalwulf earned Chris' respect (a HUGE feat to achieve), and Karl damn near broke down upon seeing his wife and newborn boys.
Also, if you ask Emelia, that C-section scar is the one she's most proud of. But yeah, all that being said, Karl was about 3 seconds from flat out ripping Chris' fucking head off before Adalwulf stepped in when he was told.
It was interesting trying to think of a sketch for a 60+ year old Chris, but I just kinda defaulted to his primary design in Village with added... y'know... age??? I guess??? Ah well. At least it still looks like him This is also the first time I've drawn him, so I mean-
(I'd also like to note that while Chris is apparently 6'1" (185.4cm), my height for Karl is 5'10"(177.8cm) and Adalwulf tops out at an even 6' (182.9cm)
How he got so tall, neither of them know.)
