Legacy of a Star Child

Chapter 78: Leg Day

-It was the morning of the day of the concert, and things were a mighty bustling as they were every morning. Shade hummed along at the stove as he made up the large platters with Xaldin for everyone to indulge in. He had decided to make stuffed french toast this morning along with some fresh maple syrup the man had brought to the castle as a treat to all of his new associates. The sugar addicts at the table were practically flooding there plates with the refined sugar sap over stacked high cream and fruit filled pan fried bread.-

15.

Hm? Yes Xaldin?

We have a container of Mulberries inside the fridge. Would it be too much trouble to request mine be made with those?

Oh! Of course not Xaldin~ Huh...strange, has anyone seen my sibling? They should have been up by now, they love french toast...

Lexaeus is absent as well. Zexion, Vexen, where is 5?

-The pair of lab workers blinked and looked to one another, they had been so distracted by the delicious breakfast spread that none of them had even noticed the Silent Tacticians absence till Xaldin asked about him. Vexens skin then pricked with concern.-

You don't think... No, preposterous. 5 isn't that easy to bait. Zexion do you believe he would-

Lexaeus had told me he was beginning to neglect his morning training regimen and had wanted to get himself back on track in preparation for our mission soon. Perhaps he's in the tra-...oh dear.

-Shade overheard the conversation between the Schemer and Academic, sighing softly, his sibling had mentioned they had wanted to get in some more training themselves.-

I doubt Shaddow is giving Lexaeus um... too much trouble...Perhaps someone should go check on them.

I will go.

-Everyone presently at the table blinked when they saw whom had offered to go check, it was The Superior of the in-between himself. He smiled and rose gracefully from the table after wiping some cream filling from his lip daintily with a napkin. Shades cooking was truly something to marvel at, and he was thinking of requesting a copy of his cookbook for the Organizations kitchen and personal use. However, before the man could leave to go summon the pair, there they were in the doorway, Shaddow a giggling mush, and... Lexaeus... He was smiling! Xemnas's eyes widened mildly as the pair continued along to there seats, instantly attracted to the food. Xemnas slowly sat back down, his brow furrowing.-

5? 16?

Nyah? Oh! Ello bossman~ Wud up?

Where were you two?

-Lexaeus grunted softly trying to wipe that dumb ass grin off his face, but failing.-

16 apparently is a very, very invigorating training partner. I'm almost disappointed I will be off on a mission soon and have put off training with them for so long.

-Saix whom was across from the pair snorted and rolled his eyes, yeah so "invigorating". More like a first class trip to a headache for many of reasons when working with that beast. Xemnas blinked slowly seeming to be trying to process what 5 said, genuinely surprised.-

I see. I am astonished, since when do you get along with anyone 16?

Huh? Me? I'mma tryin's ta be good!

-No one bought that for 2 seconds. Shade smiled shaking his head some as he just finished Xaldin's requested mulberry filled toast. Xaldin had crushed and boiled down the berries into a jam before he had allowed the blond to use it as filling, and the smell had the ex-commanders mouth watering. He took the plate and both men sat down after turning off the burners, getting comfortable in there seats. Shade sighed softly as he finally sat, looking over to his sibling with a smirk of his own.-
