The silence between them was making her nervous. Her gaze had once again fallen to the floor, and her teeth bit into her lip a little bit more until it hurt. Mikami probably didn't have enough time to deal with her at the moment. After all, she was a new recruit, and the people who he should be sending on patrol should be more experienced than she was. Cho moved her feet so that she was turning away from her king, only to be stopped by the sound of his voice. His words brought joy and horror into her heart; she was going on patrol, but he was coming with her. That terrified her to no end. Cho had to suppress a shudder as she turned toward again, and forced a crooked smile on her lips. [B]"O-oh. You're coming?"[/b] she questioned. He probably didn't hear her, as he had already began to walk toward the lieutenant's office. At that, Cho's expression of anxiety became more prominent. What if she messed up? Or worse... what if he got hurt because of her? Something told her that she shouldn't be so nervous. She was someone who could handle herself. If something happened, then she would be able to handle the situation. [I]I have to remain positive. If I'm negative, I might bring us bad luck.[/I] And so, the young woman remained where she was standing, and waited for her king to come back. She wondered if she was ever going to be the lieutenant of Scepter 4. While Cho would be honored if she was presented with the offer of taking the position, she wasn't sure if she wanted it. She would have to work ten times harder, and more responsibility would weigh upon her shoulders. There would hardly be any time for painting or doing what she liked to do. The gray-haired woman wondered if she would change her mind when they actually asked if she could take the position. It all depended on the situation. Her thoughts were interrupted when a growl erupted from her stomach. Cho flinched in surprise and thanked God that Mikami hadn't been around to hear that. She would have died of embarrassment. [I]I hope that he lets me grab a quick bite to eat, too. I didn't eat anything this morning.[/I]
