"Release me you basturd! I'll fucking kill you!"
"Ssshh... Une chanson douce que me chantait ma maman, en sucant monpouce jecoutais mendormant."
Stephano starts to calm down hearing the song that Jennifer use to sing to him when he use to get this way. Tears gather at the rim of the teens eyes, every time he comes back to his senses he's afraid that the person he took his rage out on won't forgive him.
"Cette chanson dauce, je veax lanchanter pourtoi carta peau est douce comme la mausse des bois." It's the end of the small lullaby, Stephano is now crying full force as the person holding him slowly loosens their grip and lets go. "It'z alright, you're fine now"
General Bro was the one singing, the still sickly looking teen had left the bathroom just in time to see Stephano hit Piggeh. Stephano had a really short fuse when he was younger so General Bro had learned the song by heart and practiced it until he was so good he could hide his strong German accent. He holds and rocks Stephano as he cries into the German's chest, he rubs the golden boys back as Piggeh stands wiping the blood from his mouth. He kneels next to the two rubbing his sore jaw.
"It's not your fault buddy, I shouldn't a said dat."
"Zaid vhat?" General Bro glares. "I 'aven't zeen him thiz mad at you vor ze longezt time." Piggeh laughs nervously, he and General Bro aren't too close but don't fight as him and Jennifer because General Bro only finds the party pumped teen annoying. General Bro is also known to have a shorter fuse than even Stephano and is almost impossible to calm down although he's not as violent as the golden warrior.
"I just... said a little somethin' bout ya..." He sighs surprisingly not angry.
"He'z very ztrezzed, I vould careful vith vhat you zay." They all stand up, General Bro helping Stephano, for a moment the golden boy had thought that Jennifer had returned. "Love," General Bro tips Stephano's chin so he's looking at the German. "I vant you to eat zomezing und come to my office. Comrade Piggeh," He turns to the shirtless teen. "I vant you to check on Pewdie und private Cole, if he can hit at least ze zide of ze middle teach him 'ow to fight. Ve vill be attacking in two days."
"What?!" Piggeh shouts. "We can't do dat! No one's ready!" General Bro pales and places his hand on his stomach showing that the potion is still working on his system.
"Ugh... ve don't 'ave time to vaste, ve muzt attack az zoon az pozzible." He lets go of Stephano and wraps his arms around his stomach and moans before continuing. "Zhe zaw you flee vith Stephano, ja?" Piggeh shrugs. "Vell, if zhe did vho knowz 'ow long until they attack uz. Pluz if ve vait too long Pewdie vill be ztuck here vorever." He grunts tightening the grip on his upset stomach. "Now... if you'll excuse me." He mutters before rushing to the bathroom to hopefully take care of the rest of the health potion.
"Well, ya heard 'em lets eat!" Piggeh and Stephano start to walk to the food tent again.
"He only told ME to eat. Uh... I'm uh I'm really sorry I hit you." Piggeh smiles.
"No prob, bro, I shouldn't a said dat bout da general anyway, besides I deserved a lil punch nowe and then."
"Little?" Stephano laughs. "You were bleeding."
"Pfft! So what? I bit my cheek." Piggeh pushes Stephano making him stumble, Stephano rams his shoulder into Piggeh. Given his weakened state he only makes the party pumped teen stumble, the two pal around until they walk into the tent. "Ya go a head and get cha food, I gotta announce the change in plans."
Stephano cuts to the front of the line while Piggeh picks up a glass, a spoon, and climbs on top of a chair. He taps on the glass but only grabs Stephano's attention who smirks at him for not getting anyone elses attention. He taps on the glass again but fails once more, he taps it again getting frustrated, he taps it too hard making the glass shatter and causing him to shout in surprise. All eyes are on Piggeh now except for Stephano's who's holding his stomach as tears roll down his face from laughing, Piggeh clears his throat.
"I've got an announcement to make, first of can someone come over 'er and clean dis up? Secondly no one come over 'er without shoes. Down ta business, we'll be stormin' da Barrel's castle da day afta tomorra." The crowd of Bro's gasp, they didn't expect to be attacking so soon. "Now ah know ya thought we 'ad more time but da general said we gotta attack soon or our king is gonna be stuck 'er forevea. If he's stuck here, me , Lord Stephano, Mr. Chair, and Jennifer would all slowly disappear and the Bro army would fall apart. So I want everyone ta eat a big dinna and rest all day tomorra. Thanks for your attention."
Piggeh says stepping down from the chair being careful not to step in the glass, out the corner of his eye he sees Private Baily leave the tent looking strange but ignores it knowing that General Bro would kick his ass if he left Stephano alone to chase a private. General Bro stumbles out of the bathroom rubbing his sore stomach, he feels a hand on his shoulder but in his weakened state he simply looks over to see if he'll need to fight. It's Mr. Chair who has a slightly concerned look on his face.
"You are not getting ill so close to the attack, are you?" General Bro shakes his head.
"Nin, ze 'ealth potion I took vor my concuzzion finally vore off, my ztomach ztill hurtz und my 'ead iz killing my but I vill be fine." Mr. Chair chuckles.
"Oh I did not doubt that." He pats General Bro's back as they start to walk. "It is great that Stephano found a nice man like you." General Bro's face flushes red before he changes the subject.
"J-ja... zo 'ow are you holding up?"
"Me? Fine. Why?" Mr. Chair asks his hand firmly planted on the stumbling General's right shoulder.
"Jennifer vaz your daughter, I'm zure you're grieving juzt az much az ze otherz. Unlike him though... you feel alone, ja?" They stop outside General Bro's office cabin, Mr. Chair lets go of General Bro's shoulder as they both sit on the steps on the cabin. "Vhen Stephano felt alone he 'ad Piggeh und vhen he felt unloved I ztepped in. At firzt vhen you vere all alone Jennifer came in, juzt a little ztone baby, then Stephano, und not even a veek later young Piggeh. You all became a happy family your only care in ze vorld being Stephano's veak immune zyztem, you thought that vould never end." They all did have happy memories from what use to be their mansion but is now the Barrels base.
Flashback
"Ow damn it dat hurts!" Piggeh shouts as Stephano disinfects his wound after a sip of healing potion almost closed it up.
"Shut it." He demands not in the mood for Piggeh's whining.
"How could she do dat?! She was our sister!"
"Shut. Up."
