Just a few weeks. Yeah. I can do this. No problem...



[Half an hour later...]
[Written]



[Shipmates, feel free to find the poor guy sprawled out by the table in the galley. Unfortunately, don't expect much response from him over the journal. Someone's going through sugar withdrawal.]

[summing_it_up]

Not a problem.

[He returns with an orange, letting it roll once he gets back to the side of the table.]

[Action]

[willwork4sugar]

[The orange bounces off of the side of his arm, the thief looks down at it almost blankly before he moves to pick it up.]

[Action]

[summing_it_up]

...Feeling any better?

[Action]

[willwork4sugar]

.....

No, I think I nearly pulled a Chrom.

[Shaking his head, he begins to peel the orange, putting a little more obvious effort into it.]

[Action]

[summing_it_up]

[Hold up]

–Chrom? I've heard this name before, right?

[Action]

[willwork4sugar]

Maybe? If you've talked at length to me or anyone from home, he might've been name-dropped.

[He pries an orange slice from the rest once he's peeled the whole thing, popping it into his mouth. MMmmmmm.]

[anelegantmyth]

So is that why you always eat sweets? Stress with the army? And how did Chrom take all this? It must have been hard losing his sister.

[willwork4sugar]

Nah, I've always had a thing for sweets. Believe it or not, my down payment to swap sides and join the Shepherds was a bag of candy.

[The smile that appears is brief at that sobering thought. He nods.]

It was pretty rough. He probably would have tried taking on Plegia's armies and king all on his own.

[Action]

[summing_it_up]

Yeah, maybe it was just a name-drop.

Who is he again? And what's the relation between him and an orange?

[Action]

[willwork4sugar]

He's the head of our group, not to mention what qualifies as ruler over the land of Ylisse. Anyway, you'd think a guy with all that fancy upbringing would know to peel an orange before eating it.

[Action]

[summing_it_up]

...Seriously? He eats it without peeling???

[Action]

[willwork4sugar]

[He tears off half of the orange, holding it out to Hiccup as he shrugs.]

Just telling it like I saw it.

[Action]

[summing_it_up]

Yeesh.

[The half is accepted as he makes a face, eyeing the piece as he tries to comprehend eating both the peel and the flesh.]

[Action]

[willwork4sugar]

[Gaius can see him thinking about it, replying as he chews on another slice.]

Yep, exactly.

[Action]

[summing_it_up]

[He shakes his head, making sure to separate the orange properly.]

...Someone did tell him he was doing it wrong, right?

[Pop goes part of the orange into his mouth afterward.]

[Action]

[willwork4sugar]

Not sure if anyone else noticed. I haven't caught him eating oranges since then to say if that was a one time thing or not.

[He carefully removes a few seeds and puts them with the peels before finishing the last of his own orange slices.]

Mmf, that was good.

[Action]

[summing_it_up]

Mmn. Maybe that's for the better.

[Never has he seen anyone eat an orange like that, either. Then again, the guy was running low on sugar.]

You look more alive now than you did earlier.

[Action]

[willwork4sugar]

Feel a lot better too.

[Look, he can even pick up that glass of water by himself!]

Er, thanks again, huh?

[Voice]

[cry_brady]

It's not her fault if there's plenty to tell.

[action]

[mostattitude]

[Wanders into the galley after reading this and just stares at him for a moment.]

So. This lock pick set of yours. Where is it?

[MIGHT AS WELL JUST GO GET IT NOW.]

[voice]

[failguardian]

[what's even happening]

Gaius?! What's going on? Are you okay?

[anelegantmyth]

So you joined the army...for a bag of candy? Was that your only reason for joining?

[She may have sounded slightly disappointed. But given the fact that everything she knew about him, she learned from someone else, she couldn't bring herself to actually judge him either.]

[Action]

[itspizzatime]

[In the galley, cooking up some sweet things!--actually, jsut BBQ chicken on pizza, but it smells sweet, and he uses brown sugar, sorry. When it's out of the oven, which he's been watching Gaius for half the time he's been cooking, hr brings it out, and over, and plops it down on the table near by. Sitting down across from him he stuffed a slice into his mouth, nomming on it.]

[He hasn't said a word at ALL since he started to cook. Now?]

Dude, you look like heck. Have pizza. The right side is for you.

[the left side is the same, but with gummie bears on it...]

[willwork4sugar]

Hardly. I joined a team under the premise of breaking into some vault. When I found out that the real objective was to assassinate the Exalt, I didn't want any part of that.

[He reaches over for another berry.]

Then I ran into Chrom and told him my side of things, and so he decided I could prove good intentions by helping them out.
