[quote=Nimbus]Callie sagged. [color=f7941d]“God, Nil, please don’t scare a girl like that.  I’m tired as is.”[/color]  She plastered the half-smile onto her face again, then reached over to ruffle her hair.  [color=f7941d]“Old gang’s all here, though.  That’s nice.  You getting on okay?”[/color][/quote]

As Callie dodged the splash last second, Nil just stood there, a little shocked by the sudden movement, but perhaps she shouldn’t be.

The [i]Old gang[/i] probably meaning the ones from Lingayen, although missing Sophist… he didn’t end up well.

[color=8F00FF][i]”Yes.”[/i][/color]
Her response came pretty bluntly and without a hint of a follow up, though for those who know Nil it would be clear it’s not because of lack of interest, rather her train of thought ended there.
At least until someone says something to keep the conversation going.

Pick up box, put down box, pick up box, put down box. Carrying the necessary stuff to keep the kitchen running was mind-numbing but somehow satisfying for Nil, maybe because it was a simple task fit for an Arm Master’s innate regeneration, no need to worry about getting a dislocated shoulder or aching back for too long.

For some reason Nil thought each box would be a candy for herself back at the Academy, a reason to keep doing such a menial job even if nobody told her that. This however also made her annoyed that now [i]they weren’t moving boxes.[/i]
No one knew where they were from or whether they were even safe to handle, so they were just parked there waiting and Nil sat next to them with her legs crossed… after opening a few of them out of curiosity.

After a few minutes that felt like an hour [i]’Shinya’[/i] showed up, with a less than princely outfit stained from cooking soup.

[quote=Letter Bee]His eyes opened in response as he spoke, "It's from the Director; he also included a message for me to relay to you - A chance to save... her is coming."[/quote]

Right, so they were good to be carried somewhere else, Nil stood up ready to keep doing her job, until they could hear gunshots from outside.

The sudden blazing of guns was [b]NOT[/b] fun for Nil, as she at first covered her ears, quickly grabbing her muffs nearby and putting them on. Next moment she was looking at Shinya, who, while not her commander, was still a Prince and may know what is going on.

Noticing Shinya had already summoned his Noble Arm from checking the boxes, Nil did the same and summoned Stang.
