Commander's Rounds

Gaiden entry 100.5- A Mature lady

Albert stretched out in Foch's bed as he was greeted by a morning he wasn't ready to exchange pleasantries with. He wasn't in a big hurry to get out of bed, either, but he felt himself being nudged by a pair of small hands. He blinked, and yawned a bit, rolling over to see Little Eugen, the girl in her own set of red and black pajamas. She had gotten out of her bed, based on a very comfy floor mattress that Algérie had procured, as well as some equally cozy spare covers. "Hm?" Was all he could manage.

She smiled. "Algérie is up and making breakfast, so... You should get up, too."

"Right." He soon became aware of the smell of some lovely coffee, and figured that, at least, was worth waking up for.

Albert soon stepped out of Foch's room, and found that Algérie was, in fact, making breakfast- preparing the café au lait for herself and Albert, along with hot chocolate for Little Eugen, and was slicing baguettes down lengthwise to make the toast that would be a platform for all kinds of lovely spreads.

And she was doing this while wearing only her leotard and what she chose to call a shirt, which was... Well, Algérie was quite a bit of woman, in front and behind. She was humming softly as she worked on breakfast, and then smiled as she looked over at Albert. "Good morning~ Did you sleep well?"

He politely sat down before he watched her rather intently. Did she do this every morning without getting dressed? "...Not as well as I would have liked."

The cruiser went about her morning business.

Little Eugen smiled, and hopped into a seat as well. "He's staring~"

Albert blushed, and Algérie smiled. "Oh, Albert just likes looking at pretty ladies, but that isn't the reason he has so many girlfriends. They help him a great deal, and he helps them quite a bit, too. He won't do anything foolish, even if I've also caught his attention."

Albert nodded. "Their assistance has been to an extent that I cannot entirely describe. I think that I am a better person for it. And I wouldn't do anything foolish to one of Foch's friends, especially since..."

Algérie giggled, and went on making breakfast. "I know... It's hard not to see how close that you've become to her, and really all the others. anyway, making breakfast like this shouldn't seem odd to you. I mean, do you put on your uniform before you do anything else in the morning? Foch and I don't usually dress until it's time to leave the house."

Yep, that confirmed it. "...Yes, most of the time. Having a routine keeps me centered and focused. I have duties, after all. But, seeing as I have nothing to do..."

Algérie smiled, and walked over, with that sway to her hips that certain kinds of Kansen seemed to cultivate before placing the toast, the drinks, and at least a half-dozen spreads on the table. "Don't worry, I won't let you or Little Eugen be bored. I know this is a plain breakfast, but I assure you lunch will be lavish- it's our way."

Little Eugen immediately grabbed a piece and started spreading marmalade on it, while Albert spoke up. "I didn't ask you to entertain me."

"Don't think we don't share your worries. Foch is my best friend." She picked up her coffee, and had a drink, savoring it. "Which is why I'm glad you keep her company. She is brilliant, but still a bit immature. It's because I know exactly the worries you're having that I will help you while she's gone."

"I see." He finally had a drink of his morning coffee- the mix of milk and coffee was just right. "So, what do you mean to do with me?"

"I don't think you want too much excitement right now, so I was thinking you could do with a nice, relaxing day with a mature lady." She looked at Little Eugen. "You get to come too, we're not leaving someone so cute behind~"
