Ssszzzt... sssszzt.... sszzzt...

A sizzling sound caught Lee's attention. Said sound came from his commandant's office, and oddly not the kitchen.

The sound was like something being stir-fried, albeit.. quiet.

As far as he remembers, there's nothing in the commandant's office that would produce such a sound, so why?

He walked up to the door, a hint of the sound of flickering fire came from behind, yet it was faint and occasional and didn't seem like an actual fire.

He knocked on the door, once, twice. "Commandant? May i come in?"

There was a short pause before his commandant answered him. "Come in."

The door slid open, quiet and soundless, almost heavy too.

As Lee stepped inside his commandant's office, he was dumbfounded by what he saw.

No, it wasn't anything related to cooking or fire.

The commandant was... ironing clothes?

His commandant turned to him, setting the mangle to the side so it doesn't burn the clothes even though the sound it produced could convince people otherwise.

"Did you need something, Lee?"

Lee slowly blinked, glancing at the mangle and then back at the commandant. "No... i was just wondering what that sound was. I'm sorry if i was bothering you."

Lee's eyes drifted back to the mangle. "I do have a question however. Commandant.. are you sure that thing is.. suppose to make that sound?"

Tilting his head to the side with a curious hum, the commandant raised an eyebrow at the question.

"What sound?"

Lee stared at his commandant for a moment, "..sizzling, or a sound like faint flickering fire."

At that, his commandant let out an "oh" sound as if he knew what Lee was talking about.

With a quiet chuckle that was more like a huff, he said "it's normal, thats how ironing sounds like."

'That is not how ironing sounds like.' Was left unsaid as Lee just reserved that thought in his mind.

As if on cue with his thoughts, the commandant sighed with a resigned smile like he knew Lee didn't believe him.

Blinking as if he remembered something, the commandant spoke again. "Ah, by the way.." he walked towards his desk, rummaging through his drawers in a search for something.

Curiously, Lee followed, wondering what his commandant was looking for.

His commandant then took out a dark gray cat plushy of some sort, one with small blue horns reminiscient of his past frame.

"I've been meaning to give you this, but i could never seem to find the right time for it."

The commandant handed it over to Lee, with said construct accepting it albeit with slight bewilderment and hesitation.

Oddly, it reminds Lee of his past. As Palefire, or Morian, or anything that was tied closely to his original human form.

He looked at the commandant, wondering why he gave this to him.

The commandant smiled and pat his shoulder, "don't give me that look, you ought to remember that you were once human too."

The commandant looked at him dead in the eyes, a hint of a solemn look. "Don't think of yourself as a mere weapon, alright? You're more than that."

"..." Lee said nothing as the commandant walked past him and back to the ironing board.

Though, the small mutter of "thank you" couldn't quite escape the commandant's ears as Lee quietly left.

The commandant sighed with a soft smile.

'Sometimes, companions truly are just fools that you take care of.' He absently thought to himself as he ironed the clothes.

Wooo!!! Another post!!!! Shocker, haha ::> I got kinda burnt out since I was dealing with a lot of school stress lately, and then I got really sick! I don't have a very good immune system which makes sickness a lot more frustrating and last a lot longer so it absolutely took out all my motivation for this stimboard. AND, when I finally got the motivation back, there was some weird bug where whenever I would save my draft on tumblr and leave the "drafts" tab or let the page reload, it would revert back to the version before I saved it no matter what I did? Which would make me have to find all the posts I had to link again, and it happened like... four times. So, lots of crazy stuff delaying this next post!!! But regardless, I finally finished <3333 and I'm very happy! My girlfriend got me into Dislyte, and I fell in love with Zoras design immediately<333 She's soooo pretty ::D I had to make a stimboard for her with the coziest stims <3 Hope it's worth the delay ::)

I have this one blouse that I wear all the time for work because. Like. It's not my favorite design. It's a fine, normal floral in black and pink. I like it a normal amount for a work blouse.

But I don't need to iron it. Even if it's wrinkled, I just need to hang it up and by morning, it's smooth.

It is So Convenient
