His face scrunched up at the question. [color=598527]"You know I hate those kinds of questions."[/color] The kind of questions that made him expend more energy that he'd want. He leaned on the wall as he waited for his coffee to prepare. [color=598527]"But I suppose that means that more paperwork appeared overnight?"[/color] The amount of what they had to do was seriously ridiculous. Putting this much pressure on a little girl - in his eyes - was not ideal. Then again, he thought of most of them as 'children' and 'little ones' because of their age. The new generation were only as old as two hundred years old and Baradiel didn't quite see that age as someone who has reached complete maturity.

He rubbed the back of his head, messing up his already unruly hair. [color=598527]"A stray huh? Shouldn't be too difficult. Let's finish it fast."[/color] He said. Baradiel was used to being ordered around to do the near impossible. That's how it is in war. He knew that giving up your life was almost a near constant need for all of them. It was a combination of luck and skill that some of them didn't die during the Great War. [color=598527]"You should go to bed Alice. I can take care of Alfonse and Desmond."[/color] There was clear worry in his tone as he suggested his King to do what needed to be done. [color=598527]"There's still some time until night time."[/color]

That was when Alfonse made his appearance. The young devil was something of a butler. Baradiel knows the motions, as he had done it once before during Alice's father's reign. But he appreciated that someone else wanted to take over that part of his life. It would give him more time to actually handle Alice... who rarely slept. So, of course, Baradiel has to keep a keen eye on the girl so she doesn't pass out on them suddenly. Who knows how many times she fell asleep on her desk doing her paperwork.

[color=598527]"Good morning, Alfonse."[/color] He greeted with a smile before pouring him his cup of coffee. Bagels and pastries huh? Sounds delicious. He kept his cup close to him, a smirk on his face as he knew that Alice wasn't exactly fond of coffee. Teasing his King was something he actually did frequently. 

He took a sip as he waited for everything to be prepared, but he wasn't sitting down yet. That was when Desmond waltzed in. [color=598527]"Desmond."[/color] He greeted back with a nod and a smile before pouring him a cup of coffee. The only other person who appreciated coffee like he did as both Alfonse and Alice preferred tea and didn't exactly like coffee. [color=598527]"Here you go Desmond."[/color] Baradiel gave the devil his cup of coffee. 

He leaned his head back onto the wall, his eyes closing momentarily. [color=598527]"By the by,"[/color] He looked at Desmond and Alfonse. [color=598527]"There was a report of a Stray Devil, so we're going out later."[/color] He alerted the two males. He wondered if he could patrol this day and see where the stray would find itself at. Abandoned churches was usually the area of interest and he knew every location in there. It's what he first did when he got into Seattle, which was an unfamiliar place to him.

He turned to Alice. [color=598527]"Shall I go out later and collect information?"[/color] He questioned with a lazy look on his face which meant that there wasn't enough coffee in his system yet.
