Um...
Lee sits at a table in the lounge. In front of him are three stacks of black cards.
Karenina sits across from him, her face expressionless and her eyes darting between the cards she's holding in her hands. Some time has passed before she squeezes out a few words.
Lu... did she really beat you three times?
Ah! H-how long have you been standing here?!
Ah, morning.
Isn't it obvious? I thought you'd recognize these common items.
When did you sneak up on me?
Karenina and I are playing cards.
W-what's wrong with playing cards?!
Hey, you got a problem with me?
...Hmph.
I will beat the crap out of you Gray Ravens. Just you wait!
It's just a mathematical game that involves a pecuniary arrangement. I don't see what's inappropriate about it.
Morning, Commandant.
Morning, Commandant. You're early today.
Good morning, Commandant.
Bianca was just telling us about this couple in a...
L-Lucia!
What?
J-just... Commandant doesn't have time for this...
Nothing. I was just telling them stories.
I swear!
Oh, and Commandant, I think I just saw Kamui coming by!
There's absolutely nothing. You're just being paranoid, Commandant!
Just exchanging some anecdotes.
I-I think I just saw Kamui looking for Commandant...
...
Yeah, I saw him too. With Chrome, the Strike Hawk leader.
No.
Please!
It does nothing to help our mission, not to mention I don't have time for it.
I just want to give it a try!
Your time and energy would be better spent on training. Have you finished the tactical drills I gave you?
Besides, I doubt Commandant would go along with the idea.
Ah, Commandant!
Chrome and I were just talking about...
Overruled. And don't make me repeat myself.
At least let Commandant weigh in! You value Commandant's opinion, don't you?
Commandant, I apologize for my team member's behavior.
I'm really sorry, but it's just some trivial matter.
Nothing you should be concerned about.
See? Commandant said it's fine!
It's nothing to be proud of.
You're dismissed. I will see you in an hour in the holographic training hall.
Ugh, you are the worst!
You're just trying to get rid of me so you can have Commandant all to yourself!
Don't listen to him, Commandant!
Sorry for the inconvenience caused, Commandant.
Feel free to contact me if you need my help with anything.
After all, Strike Hawk and Gray Raven are becoming close partners.
If you need someone to discuss tactics with, I'm always available.
You're right. Maybe I can give you something as a thank-you gift.
Next time I see something that's useful to you, I'll bring it over.
Oh, don't take it the wrong way. I was just trying to show you my appreciation for looking out for Strike Hawk.
If you don't think that's appropriate, then I can only express my appreciation verbally.
Okay then, I'll get back to work.
