Death and Rebirth: Roleplay with TheNovaSwag #2

Chapter 72

N: A warmer sun shone over the city of Athens in the morning, waking up an annoyed Wilfred, who is usually used to the dark mornings of Britain in the winter. When he couldn't go back to sleep, he decided to just go ahead with his day, doing his morning routine before heading out to eat.

He had been sending messages without OG knowing, as he is a man who doesn't like oversight from someone he believes is not his superior.

The months in Greece have made Wilfred acclimatize to the weather, which wasn't too cold compared to how everyone else in Britain was, so he felt comfortable wearing a few layers to stroll around the palace. Avoiding the Ottoman, he was able to get some food from the dining hall before bringing it out to the balcony, overseeing the entire city of Athens.

While he ate, a servant came to him with a letter, and seeing the seal of a lion with wings, he smiled. Thanking the servant, he opened up the letter, and seeing that everything was going according to plan, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

M: The Mandorian brothers have been up for a while already, their jobs requiring early starts, especially Mandara's.  Deutsche was the only one who still couldn't work so he got to sleep in.

When he woke up he grabbed his usual coffee and bagel and was walking around with some economic reports. When he saw Wil on the balcony he smiled, walking over to say hi.

"Good morning Wil, did you have a nice sleep," he greeted

N: "You know what," Wilfred smiled, "it is nice to not wake up to frostbite in the morning. If I wasn't here for a reason, I would have stayed here for the rest of the winter."

After taking a bite from his sandwich, he invited the Prussian to a seat beside him, and once they were settled, his expression turned serious.

"Deutsche," he said, "I'm sure you know that there is a plan to bring Mandara and Derogan to Britain, but I would like to know if you want to go as well. There is the whole discussion of whether BE agrees with it or not, but from what I have seen, you are a kind young man and I don't give a damn if BE decides that you shouldn't go. Besides," he smirked a bit, "I've seen how you are around Mandara, and I'm surprised at how oblivious Derogan is."

He leaned back to bask in the sun as he continued, "The question of whether you want to stay is up to you."

M: Deutsche nodded along as he listened, blushing slightly in embarrassment when Wilfred mentioned him and Mandara.

"I don't know yet," he shrugged, "I do plan on going to the ball with them, but I don't know if I will stay or come back.  I'm sure you remember A-H coming over a week ago, I've noticed the brothers have been more reclusive around him and I, they seem uncomfortable with him being here but I don't understand why, he came to help us get their kingdom back, why are they so nervous around him?"

N: "Were they nervous around you when you first met," Wilfred asked, "I believe Austrian Empire was enemies with their father, as was your father, so give them time to get used to him."

Before Deutsche could protest, he held up his hand, "But there has been plenty of time for them to get used to A-H, so there must be another issue. I've overheard the four of you when you plan to take down Prussia, and the way that your friend describes the battle is ... descriptive, and maybe too descriptive for their liking. I know how it is to plan a battle, and my sister is responsible for the military for BE, and even," he paused as he chose his words carefully, "the type of person she is, she doesn't go to the detail of the battle, and always finds a way to reduce the number of British casualties."

The Brit paused for a moment to let it sink in, "They may be used to A-H as your friend, but give them time to see A-H as a general, and his style of battle as all general's styles are different. If it still bothers them, then talk about it to them, and find a compromise. They care about you."
