The Gunperry touched down softly as both Lucille and Emma were escorted off. They saw a rather large man was there to greet them. At first glance his countenance was quite fearsome as he had an air of command. His eyes felt cold and unforgiving. That is until they fell upon Lucille Washburn. Instantly those eyes soften to that of a Father. Squatting down. He brought himself Eye level with the Little Girl. "Hello there. What is your name?" He asked in a friendly tone. "L-Lucille Washburn." She replied meekly. "I am Edward Alexander. I am the Colonel of this Base. Welcome." he said with a large warm smile. Standing up and facing the girl's caretaker. "I am Emma Grooms. I am Miss Washburn's Governess." She introduced herself with all the dignity she could muster in the face of the Enemy. "It is a pleasure to meet you Miss Grooms. I hope my men treated you and your ward properly." He comment. "They did. One of your Mobile suits even used his Shield to shade The Little miss from the sun as well as order his subordinate to shade those who care we were in." She continued in that same dignified manner. Colonel Alexander smiled. "That is good. Please, if you two will follow me. I'll show you to your room. We'll see about getting this mess all straightened out." He said with that same fatherly smile.<br/><br/>The two started across the compound when Colonel Alexander saw someone standing, watching them. it was a slightly older woman wearing a blue dress, smoking on a cigarette. Her short blond hair was pulled back in tight bun as her cold eyes stared at the trio. He Stopped mid-stride and glowered at the woman. Lucille looked him and back at the woman. "Who is that?" She asked. Instantly Edward's face shifted from the angered colonel to the loving father once again as he squat down to face Lucille. "Do you like Ice cream? Cause I love it. How bout We detour to the mess hall and I have the boys whip you up a sundae?" Edward offered. Lucille's eyes lit up at the mention of Ice Cream. She squealed for joy at the offer and threw her arms around the Officer's neck. Edward just laughed as he stood up to lead the two to the mess hall. Throwing hateful eyes at the other woman.
