[Voice]

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



[Half an hour later...]

[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.]

[Remember, Gaius, hydration is a good thing.

The Viking helps ease the cup back down onto the surface of the table before hobbling off to the side.]

[Action]

[willwork4sugar]

[Right, right.]

...thanks.

[Action]

[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.]

[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?

[Action]

[summing_it_up]

[It's amaaazing]

Yeah, no problem!
