The Empire of Reimia (3)

Hoping that he had lulled his companion's vigilance with chatter, he abruptly changed the subject – or rather, returned to it:
- So, have you taken her anywhere yet?

— Yes, we went out a couple of times, — Light finished adjusting the enhancer, — honestly, I’ve never felt anything like this before. If I take on something, I try to do it as best as possible, but I don’t feel any particular motivation, and here... Here, on the contrary, I want to please the person. Do you understand what I mean? And what is "my situation," by the way?

-- At that moment, but now... However, there is no time or place for that right now. It was actually a great line – answering a question without really saying anything at all – at this point, the dialogue could have ended, but after a few seconds, Marey still managed to soften the last phrase. -- No, it's not an accusation; I respect the right to silence and personal space. But anyway, I'm still going to buy a suit. Shall we meet at the exit or...?

Moriner almost jumped out of his skin from surprise but managed to regain control.
-I am a journalist. I just arrived from the capital yesterday. Here, I wanted to find out about the news... firsthand.

— Oh, really? So you're a journalist… That explains it… — The stranger released Moriner and stepped back a couple of steps. — What a coincidence! I'm also something of a journalist. I came from Nihon when I learned that there was going to be a change of power in the empire. — She stood at attention. — Sergeant Nanako, First Special Forces Detachment, 12th Army Corps! For Her Majesty Rinze Reim, into fire, into water, even into hunger!... Although, if possible, I would refuse the latter; otherwise, I wouldn't have such huge breasts," – the girl shrugged her shoulders from side to side and squeezed her chest with her hands to clearly show what she meant, – how do you like them, by the way?
