Naturally, Minna had not expected this, had you asked her about a week ago. Head of Intelligence wanting to question her? While she supposed it made sense from a military standpoint, it wasn't anything that she had considered, and yet now it was happening. Of course, she had been forewarned, and called ahead of time, so it wasn't like he had just shown up on her doorstep. Heavens, no!
But preparations had been made, involving both inviting him over for tea, and arranging for Selim to go over to Elicia's house (something he had been thrilled over), and now it was the day. Running over a mental checklist, the woman was pleased to find that everything was in place. The tea was steeping, dishware out, cookies in place, and quiche warming in the oven in case it went longer than she had planned (If not, then dinner had already been prepared!)
All that was missing was the guest in question! It was just a few minutes before one, when he was to arrive, so he definitely wasn't late. She was just ready early, that was all.
Realizing this, she settled down for a bit of a wait, casting an eye to the picture that sat on the side table next to her chair. It was of her, King, and Selim, not longer after they had adopted the latter, and smiles adored all of their faces, happy to be a family. Minna's own expression softened to match.
She missed those days. And now she was going to talk about them, to Brigadier General De'Vir. Minna wasn't sure she was emotionally ready for this. About Selim, about King... It was the matter closest to her heart, and it was kind of difficult to talk about the way she was sure the other intended it to be.
She was a Keller and a Bradley, though. Minna could do this. |
