 What...

I feel like...I've been sleeping for a very long time...

[The feed shows Alice, half-awake and reaching for her dreamberry. She had turned it on right when she was trying to find it, accidentally hitting record. 
It takes her a few more tries for her to properly pick it up...]

Well since I still have this......................It means I'm still dreaming.

[Siigh.]

I guess I better get up and  make Julius some coffee.

[SO WHO WANTS TO TELL HER SHE'S BEEN SLEEPING FOR 10 DAYS?]

[knightofchanges]

[sure it is! he's also almost done on his side.]

When you're done with that, can you grab me two plates?

[action]

[belovedoutsider]

Huh? Oh, yeah sure.

[She sets down two plates next to the stove for him.]

[action]

[knightofchanges]

Thanks!

[after another minute, he's serving up the dishes.]

Hopefully they're good enough.

[action]

[belovedoutsider]

I'm sure it'll be fine. I hope the coffee is okay.

[She smiles a little, before sitting down to eat. She didn't pour herself coffee though, since she doesn't actually drink it herself.]

[action]

[knightofchanges]

I guess I'll have to be the one to give you a grade, huh? [chuckles. brunch is served!]

But you're not going to have anything to drink?

[action]

[belovedoutsider]

........I guess.

[Nervous? Maybe.]

Oh, I usually just serve Julius my coffee so...I didn't think about that.

[action]

[knightofchanges]

[shrugs.]

There's probably something in the fridge. But now let's taste this coffee of yours.

[and taking a sip...]

[action]

[belovedoutsider]

[...........

What is this nervous feeling? So even when Ace is grading it still means something huh?]

[action]

[knightofchanges]

[cue Jeopardy music.

dum dee dum dum dum dee dum dum dee dum dum—]

...Hmm...well I'm not sure what Julius would say, but I'd give it at least an 80.

[action]

[belovedoutsider]

An 80 huh...

[/sigh.]

I guess that will do for now.

[action]

[knightofchanges]

[just chuckles.]

Should I ask for a grade on the omelette?

[action]

[belovedoutsider]

It also gets an 80.

[And she hasn't even touched it yet.]

[action]

[knightofchanges]

[which he is blatantly pointing out.]

But you haven't even tasted it yet.

[action]

[belovedoutsider]

Think of it as pay back.

[Annnnd now she being eating.]

[action]

[knightofchanges]

[well that confuses him.]

Payback? For what?

[action]

[belovedoutsider]

For giving me such a low score.

[She smiles.]

This is actually pretty good though.

[action]

[knightofchanges]

80 isn't so bad. [but he laughs and watches her for a moment before taking another sip of the coffee.]

[action]

[belovedoutsider]

But I still want 100........so 80 is still pretty far off.

[action]

[knightofchanges]

You have plenty of time to practice here.

So don't fall asleep again.

[action]

[belovedoutsider]

[Embarrassed now.]

I won't.

[action]

[knightofchanges]

Good. It was actually a little lonely when both of you were asleep.

[action]

[belovedoutsider]

Really?

[Genuinely surprised.]

But you're always traveling.

[action]

[knightofchanges]

I guess I've grown accustomed to the company.

[action]

[belovedoutsider]

Well...that's not a bad thing.

[action]

[knightofchanges]

Think so? Makes me wonder what I'll do if you both left, though.
