"Having you as a partner is always a privilege /Major/. But I was hoping perhaps we could celebrate your promotion together over tea?"
Gābena lets out an overhyped squeak, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!~ A promotion!?
A-And a deito as well!? A-Are you serious, Commander? F-For me? I... I don't know what to say! I-I feel like I've been so in the way recently, I was convinced s-such privileges were never EVER coming my way, I-I'm so...I'm so happy! I feel like I could, I could just--!"
Without warning, she jumps into your arms and pulls you in for a cheek-nuzzling hug. Then she jumps out, returns to naive-seriousness, and salutes you once more, "Th-Thank you again Commander! From now on I'll make sure to work extra hard to prove to you that this decision was not a mistake!..
I-I'll also try to spiff myself up more so that I look more presentable for the deito! It is my understanding that I look like complete trash!">'Wha? Trash? Her? Naaaaaawwww...'More loyal now than ever, Gābena hops into the boat, and you follow suit.
It begins.
