At The Base | Showing Appreciation

[asoldierwhoprotects]

Um...I know it's been over 2 months since my birthday passed -which was on August 18th, and I share it with one of my fellow Strike Witches!- but I'm really grateful to everyone. They made me feel like part of a new family since them, and I know I've been super busy with training to fight the Neuroi...but everyone on the Duck feels like family, too.

Oh, I've gotta make sure to thank Perrine, too; she really made sure I had a good birthday! Thank you, Perrine! ♥

What do you want for breakfast? I'll make whatever dish you want!

[lightning_strike]

Breakfast? I uh... well... I don't mind just plain eggs or an omelet perhaps. It's been a while since someone asked to make breakfast for me exclusively.

[asoldierwhoprotects]

Mm! One omelet on the menu~

Don't worry, Perrine; I'll make sure to find out what your favorite foods are.

[lightning_strike]

You really don't need to go that far! Just an omelet would be good enough for me! [Slightly taken back by that oh god moment.]

[asoldierwhoprotects]

Hmm? It's no problem at all! We're friends now, right?

[lightning_strike]

Well I uh... well... we're not acquaintances if that's what you mean...

[asoldierwhoprotects]

Mm! (If she was nearby Perrine, she'd totally hug you.)

We're friends, and I'll always look out for you Perrine! What's your favorite bento meal? More omelets?

[lightning_strike]

Ah well, maybe I could go for some pickled radishes as well? Just for flavor?

[asoldierwhoprotects]

Sure! I think we've got some stocked up around here. Maybe something to drink too?

[lightning_strike]

Ah... juice will do. I'm not picky, and it's too early for tea.

[asoldierwhoprotects]

Okay~!

After breakfast, I'm supposed to start the day's training with Sakamoto-san. Did you wanna join me? I'm sure she wouldn't mind!

[lightning_strike]

[Perrine instinctively bristled at the casual use of the Major's name, but fought it down. Calm down Perrine, she was trying to be nice and not at all irritating...]

Training sounds all right. If the Major and you will have me.

[asoldierwhoprotects]

Mm! Of course; I don't mind training alongside another Witch, and I'm sure Sakamoto-san won't mind either.

(Knowing her, Sakamoto would undoubtedly respond with loud, boisterous laughter before agreeing on the spot!)

[lightning_strike]

Well I hope you learn something from this, Miyafuji-san. At least then we'll be on par with one another.

[She would at that. It was Mio's motif.]

[asoldierwhoprotects]

Mm! I promise I'll do my best and train hard!

(There's a possiblity of one session of swimming with the Striker Units, not just practicing with wooden swords or with not-live ammunition.)

[lightning_strike]

Well you'd best pull your weight Miyafuji-san.

[So the usual. Even if the swimming was getting close to being out of season.]

[asoldierwhoprotects]

I will! I'll do my best and become a great Witch that protects everyone!

(That does include Perrine, obviously. And at this time of year, the water should be warm on the base if it's set at the right temperature.)

[lightning_strike]

Yes well, don't get in over your head, okay?

[asoldierwhoprotects]

(Yoshika giggles while replying with "Mm!" and smiles.)

I'm glad we get to share the skies together, Perrine!

[lightning_strike]

Yes, well it happens once in a while. Really. Don't mention it.

[asoldierwhoprotects]

Hmm? Why not? I'm sure the others would agree with me!

(It could be because of other reasons she has yet to explain to anyone else but is pretty obvious.)

[lightning_strike]

It's just embarrassing, that's all!

[asoldierwhoprotects]

Ehh?

(Yoshika tilts her head in confusion, not getting Perrine's reasoning at all.)

[lightning_strike]

It just is, all right? Don't make me get into it. [said with a huff.]

[asoldierwhoprotects]

...Okay. (She can't help but look worried, though. What if she's hurting and Yoshika did nothing to help? She'd feel totally guilty if that were the case!)
