Alright, so breakfast with the Nazis was now a thing.
It sounded like either the opening to, or punchline of, a really bad joke... But it was actually what was happening in front of Gerard right now.
The fact that it was happening in his friend's apartment sort of made the whole experience even more surreal...
If Gerard was honest with himself the sort of surreal setting helped him deal with everything going on at the moment, and made it a tad easier to hide he was still a little uneasy being a french doctor having breakfast with two Nazis. Despite this, he did accept the milk, boiled eggs, and grabbed some cookies to dunk in the milk.
"Uhm, Since there seems to be a common language among the three of us, as I study German a bit, I think it's safe for us all to talk in German, ja?" He asks in almost fluent german, trying to sound as natural as possible, adding, "Sorry, I probably should have opened with that so we weren't juggling languages... You'll have to forgive me... I'm still a bit disoriented from everything going on..."
Already he was seeing some red flags, and the look on his face when the female Nazi called Rosie "valuable" wasn't subtle at all with his (comically) pursed lips and raised eyebrows... There was something unsettling about a Nazi calling a french healer useful that made Gerard nervous...
Wait, but the male one, Max, intended on just thanking her and letting her go once she was confirmed innocent?
Before he could question them further, however, Max handed him some letters?
"What are--" He began to ask when the doctor saw they were addressed to him, raising a brow and shooting Max a displeased look while adding dryly when he saw the state the letters were in, "I see someone took the liberty to open them..."
As he read the letter he chuckled at the crude sketch on it, and smiled... He had a surprised look on his face for a moment as he read the end of it, and looked confused when there were some pages ripped out from somewhere, reading them as well....
He looked confused at first as he read the first one, and gasped and gaped in horror at the last one, his eyes clearly focusing on the dried blood on it as his finger went over it on the paper.
"Oh Rosie..." Gerard sighed to himself, filled with remorse and regret... Though over exactly what was unsaid.
"If there is a God, they've abandoned me...? Poor thing... She must feel she failed France, when in reality it's more like France failed her... She should be hailed as a heroine for her bravery, and instead she's hiding and running like a scared kitten because our country lost..." He muttered defeatedly while shaking his head.
While looking around, Max wouldn't exactly find anything too useful or out of place in the living room... Simply pictures in a frame. To an ordinary person, they would be ordinary photos... but to a stand user? A certain stand of a certain nurse could be seen...
The closest shelf to the table had several photographs: One was of Rosie without her hair bleached holding up a diploma triumphantly in graduation attire with her family all smiles... And a smaller, "younger" version of Keep celebrating as well...
There was a gap between that picture and the next... As if a framed photograph was missing...
The next group of photos was current-ish Rosie, bleached hair pinned up, this time with Keep looking more like in her sketch to Gerard, bashfully smiling and blushing while shaking Gerard's hand, the doctor oblivious to her feelings. Corneille was in the background with a goofy smile and both her thumbs up, as if encouraging something. Keep looked like she was over the moon.
The next, however, Rosie was sadly smiling and almost nodding to herself as she stood next to Gerard again, but this time a beautiful brunette with wavy hair was beside him... And he was happy and smiling with his arm around her waist. There was a ring on his finger...and the brunettes. Corneille was also in the photograph, but her attention was on Rosie and she looked very sympathetic. The gray-skinned entity couldn't look sadder.
The last photograph on the shelf was Rosie with all of the members of her team: Rosie was smiling happily with Corneille's arm on her shoulders, the pony-tailed nurse flexing like she was a muscular woman with the arm that wasn't around the tiny nurse. Gerard was beside them, covering his mouth and trying not to laugh at Corneille's antics. Chantal was flicking her hair and shooting Cornielle a disapproving look while Regine was folding her arms and glaring at the camera. Keep was looking happy, hopeful, and rather pleased.
There seemed to be room for another framed picture on the shelf.
"...So, you read these... That means you know she's a fugitive, right? Are you still planning on letting her go despite that?" Gerard asked worriedly as Max continued looking, then turning to the female one and asking, "You are both just going to let a war criminal go, then?"
He asked this, but it was almost rhetorical.
"I... I think I can help fill in some gaps you both might have... If you'll find her to help her, then..." He began muttering, speaking a bit more clearly while continuing, "Did Corneille tell you how Rosie activates this 'Keep Yourself Alive'...? Did she tell you the drawback to it?"
