Girls Und Panzer Parabellum

NONNA AND HAMMOND (part 2)

Most guys wanted to be the big spoon, but he wanted to be the small one. Most attractions have underlying reasons, and Conqueror knew this about Hammond.

"So what was growing up like for you?" Nonna first asked, stretching Hammonds heartstrings.

"I mostly hung out with Conqueror and my sister."

"I mean like your family" Nonna adjured.

"oh, I don't want to talk about it"

"Ok then" Nonna decided that instead of his family, what about his sister he clarified.

"So how about your sister," Nonna asked first again.

"She was amazing, beautiful, comforted me, and protected me." Hammond smiled just thinking of it.

"How so?"

"On nights after my parents were done given me smacks, she would spoon me until I fell asleep, and when the yelling began downstairs, she would stroke my hair and cover my ears"

Some dark clouds began to surface over the horizon, and they looked to have the temper of a bad chained up beast.

"I miss, I miss her so much," Hammond said as he propped up his back on the front of the turret.

Nonna thought that was one of Hammonds's fighting reasons for surviving the Parabellum, and decided to tell him hers, but was met the brick wall of reality.

"I love my family, and I miss them too, but It won't change anything when I come back"

"I don't understand," Hammond said confused.

"My family is rich"

"oh" Hammond was still bit confused. The facts in his mind had not quite connected yet.

"or so it was. I am an only child, but never showerd with riches. My only purpose to them was their ticket out of debt"

Hammond then added in happily with his past "And my parents said I was slip up"

She let a small giggle but instantly took it back with a low sorry.

"They are determined to find a man rich enough to marry me against my will. To avoid such fate, I made it harder on them by asking them to find a man a head taller than I was."

"I'm taking it they found one"

"Yes, and now I'm torn between making it out of the Parabellum, or dying in it"

"fates an ass huh. Just like the cancer that took my sister six years ago."

Nonna felt a heartstring pull, but contained any outside emotion that would say so. While Hammond came to a realization of what he had to look forward to after, not that he didn't have his sister, but the best and only friend he had, Conqueror.

A low rumble of thunder could be heard.

"Is there any way we can go around the storm!" Hammond called out to his crew.

"No sir, using my binoculars, it is too wide from side to side to go around, we're gonna have to go straight through it" His loader who was also a surveyed on the battlefield said.

"Why do you ask that Hammond?" Nonna questioned.

"for the past six years, I have had nightmares and sleepiness nights during thunderstorms. I haven't told anybody this so their worrys aren't heightened"

Nonna felt a surge of electrical emotion in herself, but she couldent quite put her mind on it. That feeling at the bottom.

"We better get in our tanks before the rain pours on us"
