[What does she think? As she flips through the pages of her book:]
She's a very capable young woman, and kind. I can see why she was made a captain.
[With that said, she looks up from her book, an unreadable expression across her face. Her voice is soft, well-meaning so that her words come across as encouragement rather than chastisement.]
I think you could afford to be more open with her. She worries about you, even when you mean for her not to.

You believe so? I apologize, being open isn't one of my strong points.
However, I'll make an effort to amend that. [Julius does want to improve except he struggles with being personal. He's thankful for Riza's suggestion.]
Thank you Lieutenant.

Thank you Lieutenant.
I believe being open and honest with those you work with can only improve trust.
[Everyone has their dark secrets and sordid pasts of course, but she's always believed that hiding those did more harm than good. (She could be wrong; she has been wrong before, on several occasions.) But at the same time—her shoulders relax and an understanding smile spreads across her face.]
But I also understand that talking about oneself can be difficult. It takes time and practice like any other thing.
[She's still not very good at it herself.]
We want you to let us know if you're struggling because we care.

I understand. Thank you again for being so courteous. [That's more than he could ever ask from a friend. Riza's so kind. ]
What I'm struggling with is...a problem relating back to my original world. It's not a simple matter that can be explained easily.
Did you have troubles with home before leaving, Lieutenant?
[He can't be the only one okay.]

Don't we all have problems of some sort where we come from?
[She says it with a wry twist to her mouth, almost cheekily, but sobers up immediately afterwards.]
There were problems I had to find a solution to, but they were issues I had support for and nothing I had to handle on my own. [For which she's eternally grateful for.] Why do you ask?

You're quite right, I was just curious.
Everyone deals with their own problems in a different way. We're both no exception to this.
[He feels a little silly for not counting on others as much. Maybe next time he'll talk to Riza with an open mind.]

You can always let me know if you need help with any of those problems.
[Next time....! For now, they've got Important Mission Preparations to cover, and she holds out her book, opened halfway.]
What about this outfit?
[With any luck, they'll get the hang of this in the next hour...]

[ It's the morning of the fourteenth. As casual as Reika wants to be, she's still a little nervous. After all that's happened in Woodhurst, it hardly seems like the right time - but she won't have an opportunity for another year, and she's not sure if she can wait that long. ]
Julius...? Are you up?
Julius...? Are you up?
I'm awake, what do you need?
[He looks at her curiously. Julius isn't sure what she needs at this hour.]

Come to the kitchen? I have something for you.
[ She's made breakfast for both of them and Sakura, but this is something better done when the girl's still asleep. She waits until he's in the room before picking up a small box from the counter and holding it out to him with both hands. It's a plain box with a ribbon around it. Inside are six pieces of dark chocolate. She's kept the box carefully hidden until it was ready to be given. ]
Here...

I'll be there in a moment.
[He brushes his hair and moves to the kitchen almost immediately.]
This is for me? Thank you.
[It seems rude to open now. Julius is thankful nonetheless.]

Alright. [He opens it up shyly, careful not to damage the box.]
It's wonderful, thank you. [What a cute gift.]
Today's valentines day isn't it? [Does she want to be his valentine? IS THAT IT?]

[He looks down awkwardly, with his face heating up. ]
I had forgotten. I'm sorry, I don't know what to say.
This is sudden. What do you want to do?
I had forgotten. I'm sorry, I don't know what to say.
This is sudden. What do you want to do?
You're fine with that?
[That's a little, anticlimactic.]
I want to spend time with you.
[That's a little, anticlimactic.]

It would be great if we could relax for a day.
I won't go anywhere without your permission. [He is fine with it. Taking a day off won't slow down the mission.]

[What's this all of a sudden? UNSURE!]
You may. I won't say no to a simple gesture of affection.
[It makes him feel awkward.]
You may. I won't say no to a simple gesture of affection.
[It makes him feel awkward.]
Why? Is there some reason why you enjoy doing this?
[He doesn't mind, but it's almost sudden he isn't sure what to think.Julius is trying to sort out his feelings.]

[ Now she's unsure. She had assumed he understood what the gesture implicitly meant, but apparently... not really. Reluctantly she lets go, though she still cant look straight at him yet.
What does she say? She doesn't know yet, so she's silent for a while. ]

Reika?
Does holding me make you happy? [He could understand if that were the case. Julius hasn't felt this emotion before, he's a bit confused.]
