Humming, Mutsu was walking past the living room when she stopped at the sight of a proud Jane looking over something. Unnoticed by the Battleship though, a smirking Arizona and Hiei were watching from the stairs. "What do you have there, Jane?"
A rather large smile on her face, Jane looked over her shoulder. If anything though, her smile got even bigger at seeing the curious Mutsu looking at her. "It's a school project and I'm finally done it."
Slowly, Mutsu raised her eyebrow and hummed a bit as she moved her head this way and that. "Oh? What sort of project?"
Glancing back at it, Jane nodded. "We were supposed to make a movie poster for a fictional movie. And I had help from Ari-Mama and Hiei-Mama in making it."
For some odd reason, those words caused a shiver to run down Mutsu's back. "I... see..."
Unseen by her as they were behind her, Arizona's smirk widened into a full blown grin as did Hiei's. Then the two shipgirls gave Jane a thumb's up before the youngest member of the household nodded. "Yup! Want to see it?"
Just nodding, Mutsu smiled as she brought her mug to her lips. "Sure, why not?"
With a smile, Jane held the
poster up so that Mutsu could see it. "What do you think, Mutsu-Mama?"
For several moments, Mutsu stood there staring with her coffee mug touching her lips before she slowly lowered it and gave a somewhat shaky smile. "It's... lovely. Now then, if you'll excuse me, I got to hunt down two Battleships and have a chat with them..." Then she paused. "... They're right behind me watching, aren't they?"
Still smiling, Jane nodded. "Yup! And they're recording it on their phones."
Very slowly, Mutsu shifted her view to the mirror which reflected her face. In said mirror, she could see both the madly grinning Arizona and Hiei holding their phones before they waved at her and began to head upstairs. "..."
From the staircase, Arizona's voice, full of amusement, could be heard drifting down. "I think that the Admiral could find this video something to brighten his day. After all, he does love Jane's projects."
Gently, Mutsu set down her coffee and took a deep breath before letting it out calmly and giving Jane a closed eye smile. "Excuse me for a moment, Jane."
And then she took off running up the stairs shouting at the two as Jane only shook her head. "Adults are weird..."
