Does this chick quit?

Enjoy.

It was next morning at dawn. Most of the girls were going to sleep in and hit snooze once or twice before rising out of bed to start the day. Being sure to be well rested and ready for any challenge the day would bring. It could be choosing what food or a certain tactic. Though there was a certain British woman that was awaking up and the first thing she did was check the time and grab her hairbrush next to the alarm clock. She began brushing her long silver hair. 

She yawned. "I wonder if I'll catch her." Belfast continued to brush her hair and was wondering if she would be able to meet Fairfield in her room. "Either way, I can't be on top on things in this gown." Belfast needed to get out of her pajamas and then see if she was right. If not then she would make see Enterprise. 

As the British maid ditched the nightgown and threw it in the basket for the wash she went over to her wardrobe. She needed fresh underwear and her dress had cups sewed into it (That is the only thing I can think of her chest not falling. Seriously, look at the spillage). Then once she changed into a pretty pink pair of underwear she was putting on her dress and looking into the mirror. Checking to make sure that there is no spot of wrinkles. Then going for the socks, gloves, headpiece, and then she had to warm to the tea. 

After a half hour of getting herself ready and having a morning ritual of tea before a tender breakfast, she was off to the other dorms. Even with Azur Lane being a whole alliance, there was still an organized way of how living arrangements were made. Enterprise and Fairfield were almost a dozen rooms apart. Hoping that she could just be able to catch Fairfield where she could just slow down just a little bit to talk. It has usually been work. Hey stop for lunch. Make it quick. Guard duty. Not a horrible thing but it not only stressful, but lonely as well. The sun was barely up when she had opened Fairfield's door. To only see a bed with messy sheets. 

Belfast scoffed. "Again? Wee Pratt." She was highly annoyed. Not just at Fairfield for not sleeping in a little bit, but being too late. How long did she miss her by?

After that disappoint being the real reason why she was up so early, she decided to make herself comfortable in Enterprise's room. Opening the door and seeing her friend dosed off. She opened a sleepy eye when she turned over to see who was at the door, but didn't quite mind at all. "Belfast?" Muttered a sleepy Enterprise.

"Good Morning Enterprise." Frowned Belfast.

"Come here and tell me what's wrong. Might as well comfort each other for an hour and regroup." Funny now that Enterprise was telling her friend to get to bed after a phase of her being the stubborn one. 

Belfast sat the desk and poured herself a cup of tea. Turning around with a dish and cup. "Fairfield beat me to it again." She said sadly and taking a much deserving sip.

"I'm shocked." Said Enterprise not knowing what to make of it.

"Sleep troubles?" Pondered Belfast.

"Doubful. Though I'm curious. Why would she be out on the horizon so early? So no one would bother her? To keep herself busy? Nervous about meeting and staying around the others?"

"She was not nervous meeting Wales or Sheffy. Unicorn makes her smile. I cannot put my finger on it. Do you think there is an unknown?"

"Not on this ship. Or you." She pointed to Belfast. Then tossed and the covers came off. "I think I'm up now. Might as well pour me. Mind if I have a cup before getting dressed?"

"Absolutely. You're entitled after all." Belfast smiled and handed Enterprise her dish and cup. 

Enterprise took her first sip. "Great job as always."

"Thank you." Smiling with a slight bow.

"But I wonder where she goes. Doubt she stays in one spot all day. What gives?"

"I am unsure. Though you think Cleveland and her sisters or Unicorn and her friends could find her? We don't need a search party, though I wonder her location."

"As do I Belfast. Though I have an idea. Let's have our normal routine of breakfast with everyone and we will find her together. Then she will have dinner with us and we will see how she is when she enters the bathhouse."

Belfast sweatdropped. "Do you think that's a good idea?" Not liking the suggestion.

"Bonding. Why?"

"She's aggressive and I believe she's a touchy touchy. Fairfield always points at my breasts. I don't think that's a good idea."

"You think she means harm?"

"I think that woman means well but would a bit frisky. My bitties are my own." 

"Don't get your knickers in a twist. It's only morning."

"I change them every morning. That is not a problem. Though you're concerned because she is up-front, obvious, loud, and says what's on her mind? She thinks you're hot and that's bad."

"Goodness!" Squeaked Belfast.

"Well I can't teach you how to flirt but you can do this. It will be fine. Don't stress yourself out."

"Who's side are you on? Your pupils side or your friend and aid?"

"Both. We are all an alliance and the two of you get along together. She has tea, eats with us, and outside this morning and nighty routine Fairfield seems fine. But as I said, we will find her. And we will get our answers. You know I do not beat around the bush."
