Taiyou wordlessly mouthed the word "oh" at Scipio's explanation. She blushed and ducked her head at the word 'hero'. Something uneasy stirred within her stomach.
I don't feel like a hero, she thought, grimly. However, her expression brightened at the word 'food'.
"Really?" she said, excited.
Though why is a Captain serving us?
At that moment, the Captain waltzed in with an easy smile and a hot tray.
"Thank you, Captain," Taiyou said.
There that word was. Hero.
Her eyes widened as Scipio dared to call the Captain by his first name.
Are they friends? she wondered, curiously. She nodded eagerly at the mention on eating in the mess hall. However, she was dressed in night clothes. However, her actual clothes were waiting for her on another chair across the room. Taiyou blushed as she pushed a strand of loose hair behind her ear.
"May I a moment's privacy, then? I need to dress," she timidly asked as she reached out for the green apple on the tray and bit into it. They were her favorite.
