The vessel continues driving, and the field Kaito once found himself in is long gone.
A young man taps Yukki on the arm. "How'd you end up here?" He asks Yukki.
Yukki laughs. "I got picked out of my class for this, the empire thoughted be a good fit." Yukki says but then he looks gloomy. "Wish the missions failure didn't effect my grade though, if we fail i flunk!" Yukki panics. The young man laughs. "Well you're in luck, this will be an easy ride." The man says and then punches Yukki's arm playfully. "If you ask me, seems like they just handed you a free passing grade!" He assures him.
Yukki smiles back before another man laughs. "Then maybe you should be in the noble lady's quarters." He teases. Yukki nearly jumps out of his seat. "Are you crazy?!" He shouts at him and everyone laughs at him. "i'm sure she'd feel much safer with you, her "Guard" by her side." A women soldier says.
He seems nervous. "Just be close by that way when we get back she can tell the soldiers you did good. I'm sure the big wigs will love that!" The young man tells him. Yukki gets determined then nods. "Right!" He says as he stands up. "I'm gonna befriend her!" He shouts as he storms back.
After he walks away the soldiers cheer him on.
Yukki sweats nervously. "Ms, Nyla?" He calmly enters the room as he sees her messing with her hair.
She notices him and adjust herself to sit straight up, adjusting her posture. "Yes?" She asks. "Are you doing alright?" Yukki asks. She gives him an elegant smile. "Of course, it's very sweet of you all to guide me back home." She elegantly says. Yukki is stunned, "Even the way she speaks screams rich!" Yukki says. She tilts her head. "Is something the matter?" Nyla questions, her golden hair shimmering.
Yukki shakes his head. "No, miss, it's just gonna be a long ride, thought you could use some company." He says.
She looks at him for a moment before giving another elegant smile. "How kind of you!" She points to the seat across from her. "Please, sit, I was getting bored back here." She says. Yukki quickly goes to sit. As he sits he sees that heavy box he carried in. "Not being rude, but what's in there?" Yukki asks. Nyla looks over at the box. "Just clothing." She says.
Yukki looks at it nervously. "Clothes weigh that much?!" He thinks.
Nyla passes him a drink. "If i may ask Yukki, what school do you attend?" She asks him. Yukki holds the cup in his hand. "I'm not sure if you've heard of it, i only recently got in, school year just started, i've only just moved into the dorms this is actually my fir-" Yukki looks at Nyla and he realizes he's rambling. "I go to elysian." He states.
Nyla giggles. "That's the academy of the arcane, correct?" Nyla asks. Yukki laughs and nods. "Yeah, school of the greats as they say." Yukki says. Nyla takes a sip of her drink. "How'd you get into that school? Isn't it ranked six in all the empire?" She asks.
Yukki smiles and looks down at his cup. "It wasn't easy, had to really study like crazy, it's funny my brother and I got in also because of..." Yukki trails off. Nyla is confused by his sudden silence. "Something wrong?" She asks.
Yukki shakes his head. "Nothing, just uhm, a bad memory actually." He blows it off. "What about you miss?" He asks. Nyla sighs. "You are aware you don't have to be so formal with me, we're the same age." She says to him. He laughs. "Sorry, but it's respectful for someone in your position, Miss Nyla." He says and he can see that she's upset by it.
Nyla takes another sip. "I'm busy all the time," She says as she sits her cup down. "i'm currently returning from business for my father, and after that it's back to my studies." Nyla explains. "Must get boring." Yukki says absently before realizes what he said. "i-i'm sorry, i didn't mean to offend!" He apologizes. Nyla burst out laughing. "Don't be." She says before she looks at him smiling. "It does get very boring!" She says and they laugh together.
