The best part of waking up....
Sloth was the first up, which stood to reason, as she'd never really gone to bed. She stayed up all night, knitting needles clacking away quietly as she worked on a new blanket for Alphonse's bed.

In the bedroom, she heard Roy's alarm clock go off, telling her to get up and start breakfast. She went to the kitchen to figure out what she could make with what they had.

By eight o'clock, Delilah had been awake for several hours. A part of her looked forward to when the children would all be teenagers, and very likely wishing to sleep until noon or later. But for now, her days began usually at five, which was plenty of time for her to help Alfons prepare breakfast for the family, plus some extra.

She loaded down several serving platters with some pancakes, sausage and bacon, and scrambled eggs, carefully placing them on a rectangular, deep-set tray, along with a stick of margarine and the bottle of syrup. There was roughly a fourth of the bottle left, enough for four people at least, and there was a new one waiting in the cabinet, so they decided to just give them that bottle.

William offered to help her carry it up, to which she gave him a dry look. She couldn't beat him at arm wrestling anymore, but that was only because he grew stronger. She was just as strong as ever, and more than enough to carry the tray.

It crossed her mind that perhaps she should grow accustomed to the notion of wearing pants instead of the long dresses and skirts she still preferred as she looked at the stairs. After a moment's consideration, and some careful, one-handed balancing of the tray, she tucked the side of her skirt up a bit, down and behind the waistband, just enough to pull it up a little to not catch her feet as she climbed the four flights.

At the top, she untucked it and smoothed it down before approaching the door, and carefully pressed the doorbell.

Roy flailed around for the unfamiliar alarm clock, managing to shut it off after sitting up and staring blankly at the buttons.

A morning person he was not.

The doorbell ringing just made him feel even less alive. "All right," he muttered. "I'm up. I'm up."

At least he didn't feel as bad now as he usually did, getting up an hour earlier than this. Of course, he'd been up even later, waiting for any sign of Edward from Van. Van had reached a big nothing.

Edward, you're a huge pain in the ass.

	Sloth had various things out on the counter, potential breakfast foods, when the doorbell rang. "Coming," she said, walking over to the door and opening it. "Hello?" She hadn't seen Delilah the night before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Al shuffled out of his bedroom, rubbing his eyes. He'd woken some time before, and spent the last few hours dozing off and on until he'd heard indications of others being up and around besides his mother. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
