Keeping a secret

Hmmm...

[Izuru is wandering around looking absent-minded. No, this is not because of his unit's severe damage. Or even because of what he saw during the mission.

It's because as soon as he returned home, Captain Suzukaze and Commander Simon both immediately briefed him and told him not to share this news with anyone. That the Wulgaru commander looked like a human... why keep this a mystery?

He doesn't know. And he doesn't look okay with it.]

Hey...

[But Izuru's state of mind doesn't last for long.]

Do you know anything about repairing electronics? I was trying my hand at it but it's harder than I thought.

[It seems he found something to do. But what is it?]

Out of one fight and already putting thought into the next time we'll have to fight the Wulgaru? Or is something else on your mind?

[herodrawing]

No, it's nothing like that!

It's... nothing much, really!

[prismphantom]

... Then what is it then? Even if it's some trivial detail, it certainly must have some special spark to it for you to be dwelling on it after everything.

[herodrawing]

It's really nothing. I'm not dwelling on anything at all, ha ha.

[prismphantom]

[Okay, there's picking on a bad liar and then there's just punching an adorable rabbit. Selena switches gears at the drop of a hat, and...]

You don't have to tell me the truth, but you're talking to a woman who's job has revolved around gathering information and making the enemy think she knows less than she really does. Convincing me'd require more than just awkward denials.

[herodrawing]

Ugh.

Is it really that obvious?

Sorry, but... I can't tell you. Captain Suzukaze told me it's a big secret.

[prismphantom]

And that's okay. There's plenty of things Albhard and I know that we can't tell anyone else here. But just saying that'll ward off people better than just denying everything.

[herodrawing]

Are you sure? I have some very nosy friends...
