Legacy of a Star Child

Chapter 33: April Rain Showers

"You've worked hard for this, now get out there and show them what your made of Ed!"

"Thank you Rain, I would have never gotten this far without you."

-----

-It was the morning after the small heartless invasion over at the organization, and many of the original 6 members were concerned over what they had just allowed into there castle. Xigbar had been extremely quiet over the whole thing, seemingly him willing to take the brunt of the blame if needed, but also getting lost in his own thoughts on whether he made the right choice. After 10 years of this situation, to be the one to cause a collapse would actually cause a lot of guilt. He knew the others worked quite a bit harder than him, and there was a reason he was not always in charge when Xemnas was away, or busy. The man had agreed with Xemnas that it was best not to frighten younger members over the fact that they had non-nobodies in the castle, so it was just not going to be brought up, after all, the original 6 had already had a late night meeting in order to discuss about the duo, and all knew what to do in case something went wrong. 8 was instructed he was permitted to inform 7, but otherwise to keep this all to himself. An order that annoyed him, but, not like he wouldn't have told Saix anyways. Xaldin had just entered the kitchen, freezing when he saw that a black hood was seated quietly in Xemnas's chair at the end of the table, with a cup of coffee, egg, toast, and 2 pieces of bacon, the pan and other dishes needed to cook were already washed and the figure seemed curled up with there coffee. There was just one problem... that was not Xemnas in that chair. Xaldin scoffed as he slowly walked over with his hands on his hips, the figure slowly almost cutely moved there head to look up at the Mongolian man, whom then spoke.-

What exactly do you think you are doing?

Huh? I... having breakfast.

-Voiced up the other softly. Xaldin blinked, not recognizing that voice, young, male... this must have been one of the new ones. Causing trouble already it seemed, though, to be fair, he must not of been the troublesome one as Xigbar and Xemnas had given extra warnings about that one. Also, to his credit, he didn't know the rules around here, and was not aware no one else touched the stove except for Xaldin, as well as did not exactly have his own seat at the table just yet.-

Heh... you must be one of our "guests". For future reference, we do not permit anyone to cook except for myself unless I am not present. Also, you are in Xemnas's chair.

I uh... Sorry. I didn't know. Might I perhaps be able to just take this back to my room?

-Normally, Xaldin would say no, he didn't like the idea that certain members felt they were too good to be at breakfast with everyone else, or well, meals in general. Not because he liked socialization or anything, but it was more a sign of discipline and respect. However, this one seemed so... polite. He sighed before muttering.-

For today, yes, I will talk to 5 about possibly acquiring more seats for the table by dinner time this evening... you have a sibling don't you? Where are they?

Oh, they are still sleeping, I am always up by 5. I... did you need help in the morning? It seems like a lot of work for one person all by themselves to feed an army.

-Mumbled the other before taking a sip of there coffee. Xaldin blinked, he honestly was surprised and unsure what to say or even think. No one... ever helped him to do anything. And on top of that, he actually seemed to know how to cook. Xaldin seemed to ponder a moment before nervously asking a strange question.-

Do you know how to bake?

Huh? Bake? Yes of course, why?

-Xaldin had never admitted it to anyone, but, he did not know how to bake. He was regularly ordering the breakfast muffins and having them brought in later at night, just so no one would make fun of him over it. The only ones whom might have known he was not making pastries were 5 whom assisted the castle supply order list, Saix whom probably could care less, and Xigbar whom turned him off from baking to begin with by sabotaging him at every chance he got for fun. Xaldin took a sharp breath before mumbling.-
