Even with one look, you quite fancied this man. He wanted to help you without even asking anything in return- so heroic! You feel all special that he's going out of his way just for you. And besides, every Jaxtian lady learns to love a military man.
“...A cafe with Nut Thieves huh? That's a cute idea. I could see that being valuable.”
<span class="mu-b">”Aww- thanks! Well, what about you?”</span>
“They're transferring me to the Stand. I'm going to become the lead fleet admiral.”
<span class="mu-b">”...Oh. Wow. That's a big job.”</span>

“I mean, it is. But it's not as hard as coming up with something all new, like this. You've clearly put your heart into it. For me... well, let's not get into that.”
<span class="mu-b">”Huh? What do you mean? Admiral is a huge position- I mean, you clearly have it much harder then me, and are providing more value to the Hegemony then my silly little dream ever could.”</span>
“I'm just going with the motions. Being promoted because of my skills and performance. I mean sure, I'm in a bit more danger then you are perhaps but...”
<span class="mu-b">”But nothing! Come on, be proud!”</span>

>His job is harder
>Your job is harder
