"Well... They're not banging on the barrier anymore."

"Did you really have to throw him into a hound of wolves?"

"Wolves? Please, they're quite harmless." Asimov paused. "I think..."

"Well, at least the Commandant is enjoying himself as well." Celica smirked.

"More like hanging by a thread..." Amara sweat drops.

The Commandant is seen inside the other half of the room. The barrier remained up as he is sitting crisscrossed on the carpet floor. The man can only sweat at the center of attention that he is given by the Chibis. All the while he does his best to pet every single one of them alongside communicating with them.

"Commandant I've missed your warmth..."

"Uwah. Nanami missed this feeling!"

"Ugh..." The Commandant snapped out of his shocked state as he feels countless small hands and feet around his body. Not to mention the small lightweight of being sat upon as he then raised his head and stared at the Chibis. As he looked on at the Chibis. Ignoring the ones who climb his back, arms, and overall body. He can't help but feel a small smile form on his face as he pets the Chibi that sits in his palm.

"Commandant... Is everything okay?" The Chibi asked him.

"H-Huh?" He blinked as he saw the Chibi wave around with her small hands. Telling him to bring her closer. He brought his extended palm up to his face as he stared at the Chibi who tilted.

"You look sad... Why do you look sad?" C. Lucia (Lotus) looked at the Commandant with a concerned look. "Whenever I see you sad, Commandant. I dislike it."

"..."

Please don't say those things casually Lucia... You're killing my heart here with how much I want to protect you and everyone else around here.

"It's nothing, Lucia. Believe me." The Commandant said with a small smile.

"Commandant is lying..."

"..." The Commandant blinked as he felt C. Liv (Eclipse) jump onto his palm from the top of his head.

"Liv..." He proceeded to let out a small chuckle as he looked at the two. "Yeah. It seems like I really can't hide anything from you guys."

Original or not. Chibi or not... These two read me easily just like the normal-sized Lucia and Liv...

"Then what's wrong?" C. Lucia (Dawn) asked as she sat on the Commandant's right shoulder.

The Commandant remained quiet momentarily as he stared at C. Lucia (Dawn), then back to C. Lucia (Lotus). Memories flashed before him of Lucia until he recalled recently Lucia who he didn't see not that long ago.

"It's just..." He smiled as he looked at the Chibis around him. They sat happily on the ground and even surrounded him. He sees as some happily used his body as support to rest against. "I never thought I would see your old frame(s) again..." His words specifically aimed at C. Lucia (Lotus).

C. Lucia (Lotus) blinked at the words. She tilted her head in confusion but regardless she smiled.

"Hey, Lucia..."

"Yes, Commandant?"

"Am I... a good Commandant?"

"Of course. You're the best Commandant." The Chibi said with a smile as the Commandant can only look on as his heart fluttered.

I think I'm gonna have diabetes.

"Oi. It's my turn to be pet. You've been petting that annoying bug for too long. You've also been paying attention to her more." C. Karerina (Blast) tugged on the Commandant's thigh prompting the man to look down and softly lowered his hand on the ground as C. Liv (Eclipse) jumped off.
