When Kagome quickly served up a mug of coffee, Pepper took the girl in.
The girl seemed in her element, in the kitchen, already placing the food on serving plates and washing after herself.
"What time did you wake up at?" she couldn't help but ask.
Kagome paused in her work, turning to her to answer, before frowning slightly and then shrugged her shoulders.
"Don't know." the answer was slightly thick with an accent, but it came across clearly.
Pepper watched as the girl returned to her cleaning, blinking widely. All she could do was sip from her coffee. They then moved breakfast to the table to eat.
It was quite between the two of them, not really awkwardly so, just quite. What did one say to the newly found daughter to the man you were currently in a relationship with?
"This is very good."
Kagome looked up from her plate, blinked twice before smiling and returning to her own plate. It was then that Pepper realized something. Either Kagome was a rather quiet girl, or her English needed improving.
It was easy to see that she understood. But speaking and understanding were two different concepts. She would wait until Tony was awake before breaching the subject. She sighed, it might take a while before that happened. Once Tony was asleep, it took a while before he would wake up.
AN: I'm so happy you all found the last chapter cute!
