Ad Victorian (On Hold)

Chapter 4

Just a heads up, towards the end of this chapter, there is going to be some very restricted material.

"Alyssa, Let's go. We need to be there in a few minuets." Maxson spoke, glancing at the wall mirror and fixing the red tie on his suit.

"Maxson, calm your dick." Alyssa spoke from behind the bathroom door. 

Maxson huffed and took a seat on the edge of the bed, waiting for Alyssa. She opened the bathroom door before stepping out in a sparkling red dress. Maxson glanced up at her before widening his eyes and standing quickly. 

"You alright?" Alyssa spoke, crossing her arms over her chests. "My eyes are up here." She put her finger on Maxsons chin, tilting his head up, glancing into her eyes. 

"C-C'mon." Maxson spoke, grabbing her arm and starting out the door. 

The halls were empty, except for the squires that were running down the hallways and the knights guarding the halls. The Scribes were in their bedrooms, working on their terminals. The two headed down the halls towards the hall where all the Elders were meeting. 

Maxson bit his lip before reaching for her hand. She blinked, glancing at their hands. "Just, make it seem like we're actually a thing." Maxson spoke, holding her hand gently. 

Alyssa sighed a bit and nodded before watching Maxson pull open a set of double doors. The room was lit with candles, lighting a large table in the center of the room. Around the table sat Elders as well as a few woman and children. 

"Elder Maxson, so nice of you to join." McNamara spoke, standing from his seat at the end of the table and walking towards the two. 

Maxson extended his hand before shaking Nolan's. The two exchanged deep glances at one another before Nolan glanced at Alyssa and blushed a bit. "Wow. Well hello beautiful." He spoke, taking her hand and placing a kiss on the top of her hand. 

She blushed before being pulled by Maxson into the room. The two took a seat beside one another. Nolan huffed a bit before returning to his seat. "My brothers and sisters, Elders of the Brotherhood, and their lovely ladies or their handsome husbands-" A few of the woman around the table laughed a little bit. "I welcome Arthur Maxson, A high Elder of the Brotherhood, son of Jonathan and Jessica Maxson. We all know about the Maxson timeline and how Roger Maxson had started the Brotherhood of Steel. I will also send a huge welcome to the girl beside him. Sentinel of his airship, badass of the wasteland. A beautiful girl indeed. Maxson, will you please rise and do your speech." 

"Speech?" Alyssa glanced at Maxson, whispering the word. 

"High Elders always give a speech." Maxson whispered back, standing as Nolan sat. "My brothers and sisters. I welcome you all to the Citadel here in D.C. I know that since the Great War, things haven't been easy for all of us. I know your kids and possibly their kids will all be raised the this desolate place. But, with the Brotherhood of Steel rising in every state, and more troops being sent everywhere, I will assure you, the Brotherhood of Steel will put an end to all these creatures and make the wasteland a home again. The Brotherhood will conquer all that stand it it's way, from Synths, Ferals, or Super Mutants. I will assure you everything will be under way to making everything safe once more."

The people in the room clapped quickly before watching food be placed in front of them. "W-what is this?" Alyssa questioned, looking at the food on the plate in front of her, whispering to Maxson as he sat down. 

"Cooked Brahman and RadStag with roasted Tatos and Mutfruit." Maxson replied. 

"Oh, that sounds good." 

"It usually sounds better then it tastes."

Alyssa laughed a little bit before picking up the silver fork in front of her. Maxson smiled a little bit before picking up his own fork and and starting to eat his food. Alyssa glanced at the food in front of her before starting to eat.
