Impatient Man

Opening his eyes inside his pod, Alexander looked at the clock. It was still early morning, and Violette would still sleep for a few hours.

He let her sleep while he cleaned himself up, then went down to make breakfast. He went for something easy and light, making omelettes with bacon and vegetables.

While whisking the mix, he heard a light footfall on the staircase. Alex turned his head slightly, seeing Violette coming down from her room in zombie mode.

"Good morning, sunshine."

"Mmm."

Alexander went back to his bowl, and he heard the girl pull a chair at the kitchen island. He could tell she had sat there, as he heard a very distinct thump of her head hitting the countertop.

Alex chuckled a bit, still whisking his eggs, before slowly transferring them to the hot pan. As the egg slowly cooked, Alex made a side of toast and made a cup of hot chocolate for Violette as he poured himself some coffee.
