"Oh! Good morning. And... er... Fried," she said, quite vaguely
knowing the difference. Her brain was a bit muddled still, so she
just blurted the first thing to mind. Adeline moved over next to
Raven so that Allium could sit, and she gratefully took the spot.
"No problem," Adeline hummed, smiling.
"Scrambled for both," Adeline called out happily. Raven looked up a
bit but remained silent, almost eerily still. Adeline dipped her
head and murmured something to him, so softly that even Allium
couldn't hear. He only shrugged and leaned back into the corner of
the chair, a more lax and comfortable-seeming position than before.
''okay'' Crystal said, already finishing up the batch of scrambled
eggs ad put them onto a plate.
Matthew knocked on a door that seemed to actually be fully closed
and crossed his arm's.
''hey Rogue you in there? breakfast's being made'' he said, then
went out to go sit at the table.
Rogue's eyes snapped open at the sound of someone's voice. He
groggily slid out of the bed, opening the door and making his way
to the living room. Allium saw him and laughed lightly, her eyes
glimmering. They looked like a pile of sparkles to him, the way
they glittered. "Good morning, Rogue. You look half dead," she
said, covering her smile.
Rogue sighed and sat in a spare loveseat. "Morning," he said, his
words still slow and a bit more baritone than usual.
Crystal soon finished turned the stove top off for the time being
and sat the pan aside, picking Ent up with surprising ease before
going out into the living room with him.
''what kind of egg's do you want with your pancakes Rogue? i've
already got some scrambled egg's and a few fried and sunny-side up
egg's ready, i've not made any omelettes yet though and i could
make hard boiled egg's as well if you want, i don't mind cooking a
big meal for everyone and giving them they're food of choice'' she
said, setting Ent down near Adeline, Raven, and Allium.
"Scrambled is fine for me... thank you," he said, resting his fist
under his chin and rubbing the bridge of his nose.
Allium looking over at Ent, a little bit tempted to pick him up.
Adriane had said he had his own consciousness, though, and she
didn't want to alarm him.
''alright, then breakfast is ready'' Crystal said, smiling brightly
as she hummed and went back to go set up the plates of pancakes and
egg's everyone.
Ent looked up at Allium and gave a happy expression, waving up at
her.
Adriane wandered out of her room and yawned, hugging one of her
pillows without seeming to realize it in her groggy state.
Allium gave a little wave to Ent, smiling brightly. She snapped her
head up as Adriane entered the room. Everyone gave unsynchronized
"good mornings" to her, all of them a bit happier than they were
when they woke. At least, Rogue definitely was. Adeline and Raven
took a seat next to each other in the dining room, Allium sitting
in between Rogue and a free chair.
Adriane jumped a bit as she looked at everyone and blinked, then
waved before she sat down at an empty spot at the table.
Matthew perked up as he seen the empty chair next to Allium and
decided to get up and swap sits, going around to the empty seat
next to Allium and sat down.
Crystal hummed as she went around serving the food herself and
seemed surprisingly calm despite how she acted when they, excluding
Matthew and Adriane, had gotten there.
Adeline thanked Crystal when she came around and lightly nudged
Raven. He perked up slightly and this and murmured a small thanks,
shifting in his seat. He seemed a bit more uncomfortable and silent
then he did the previous day. Which didn't mean much except that
his few soft sentences had turned to no speaking at all. Adeline
saw the gulp of air that he took and traded her spoon for his fork,
patting his arm reassuringly and turning away.
She did this swiftly and with confidence so that it only seemed
like a normal gesture; confidence lets almost everything go
unnoticed, as she had learned. Adeline silently began to eat,
lifting her head a bit. She noticed Allium's small smile and blush
when Matthew sat next to her, but made nothing of it.
Crystal smiled brightly at the thanks and playfully ruffled up
Raven's hair to show him that he was alright, then continued to
serve.
Matthew blushed faintly and smiled a little as well as he looked at
her.
Adriane leaned back in her chair and simply rested her head onto
the pillow she was hugging, slowly dozing back off.
Raven flinched, shrinking back into his seat. Adeline forced his
crimson gaze to meet hers. He straightened back up and she offered
him a weak smile. She could still remember the murder in his eyes
the first time she had met him; they had pierced fear through her
and almost screamed with bloodlust. She glanced over at Adriane and
smiled, returning back to the food.
Crystal served Adriane her food and shook her shoulder with her
free hand.
''hey, wake up and eat... then you need to go shower cause your
hair is a mess, and just to remind you Adriane you have to meet up
with one of your clients about that small supply of healing tonics
they requested.
Adriane's eye's shot open and she sat up.
''oh toadstools your right, i completely forgot! thank's Crystal
otherwise i'd have a seriously angry customer at the door'' she
said, then quickly started eating.
Allium tied her hair up in a swift motion, her side-swept bangs
still a bit fluffy as an after-effect from pulling all of the water
out of it at once. She flexed her shoulder slowly but it was
healing well. It felt more sore than injured. She continued to eat
slowly.
Matthew glanced up a bit since he noticed the movement that Allium
made out of the corner of his eye and blinked, reaching up as he
played with her bangs a bit.
''fluffy....~'' he hummed while blushing faintly as he took a bite
of his food.
Allium only chortled and reddened, pulling away playfully and
batting his shoulder lightly. Well I wonder when that
happened, Raven thought, realizing he was staring a bit. There
was a look of misunderstanding and confusion from Raven, to which
Adeline told him to just 'shrug it off' with a simple look. Allium
was the last person that Raven thought would fall in love, although
he didn't know her all too well. She was vague in that of
expressing herself and was conservative of her past, but he
respected that.
Matthew blinked and soon realized what he did, and his face erupted
a bright red.
''u-um, s-sorry...'' he stammered, rather embarrassed.
Crystal and Adriane both were whispering to each other and grinning
as they giggled, watching the scene unfold between Allium and
Matthew.
''you know Allium, there is a bathroom further down the hall that i
chose to tweak a good bit and make it large with a large bath big
and deep enough for a dragon to lay in, but not too much to where
in human form there's no footing, and the giant bath's edge is
floor level so you can just walk right in, Matthew can show you
later'' Adriane said.
Matthew perked up and blinked, looking over at Adriane, but nodded
and went back to eating.
Crystal simply ate quietly and contently, happy with what she made
for everyone and that everyone liked it.
