A Roleplay with Mittens365

A New Sister

M: Eclipse was in the kitchen with Niko, he was making breakfast and was teaching the boy how to use the stove to make french toast, he was fairly certain that Niko remembers how to cook but most likely not on modern appliances.

"-And when you hear the clicking sounds, that's the sparker trying to light the gas, but you don't want to leave it on light for too long, or the gas could blow up a bit," he instructed, "as soon as the flame pops up you want to turn it to high, then you can put your pot or pan on the stove. Now repeat to me what we never ever do when it comes to cooking spray and the stove."

N: "'Never spray near the open flame'," Niko answered. Due to his height, he had to stand on a stool just so that he was at a comfortable height to cook.

Once he got the flame working and was sure he didn't just start a fire that would burn the estate down, the Saxon boy carefully made the French toast with Eclipse's oversight. Once he was sure it was ready, he got himself a plate and transferred the toast onto it, then proceeded to get some blueberries and strawberries.

"Cooking is an art form," he muttered as he placed every berry, "appearance is as important as its taste. Perfekt."

Just as he was done, Wolfgang walked into the room and was confused at the sight of them, so Niko offered his father to try out his French toast.

"Shame it's associated with the French, but it looks appetising," the older Saxon commented, and after he ate a bit, he smiled, "woah, this is delicious. Who made this?"

M: "The little man is a natural, unsurprising since he has a whole lifetime of experience," Eclipse proudly declared, "He'd make his mother proud, I remember how good her cooking was."

He helped himself to one and was certainly impressed by it, "gosh, I oughta hire for my bakery, bud, these are heavenly."

N: Niko smirked, "my rates are high, so if you want me, you better get ready to pay a lot. Got to get paid somehow and these skills aren't cheap."

"Look at you activating your inner businessman," Wolfgang chuckled, ruffling his hair, then he genuinely smiled, "your Mutter would definitely be proud."

"She would," the Saxon boy asked, his tone indicating his slight surprise, "I learnt a lot of my cooking skills when-"

For a moment he hesitated, realising he was going to slip up, so instead he quickly hugged Wolfgang, "danke."

Wolfgang was taken by surprise for a moment, but quickly regained his senses and embraced his son. After hugging for a moment, he asked, "could you make more of those French toasts for the eternal girl. She hasn't eaten and would probably need me to help her eat. Could you make more and join me in the infirmary?"

Niko pulled away from the hug, and for a second Wolfe thought he failed, but then the boy vigorously nodded. "I'll do it," he replied, "and Eclipse can help me."

M: Eclipse smiled at the boy's enthusiasm, "It's good to see your caring side is still there, you always wanted to protect those who couldn't protect themselves.  I'll be happy to help, we got some extra bread in the freezer, let me heat it up."

While he did that, he took the opportunity to inform Wolfgang about something, "hey, you remember that raid we were talking about the other day, the one where Poldara and MA are going to Russia to possibly rescue Saxon and HRE?  Well, Rus has given us some new information to confirm that they are there, and that they are gonna be moved to a different facility at the end of the week.  So we're hoping to get to them before that happens, and we were hoping that you and/or Johann could come with us.  You won't be doing any fighting and you will be protected, we just realize that Saxon at the very least is gonna be stand-offish, and we're hoping that having a familiar face will help keep him calm."
