In between inhaling her meal like it would disappear at any moment, Hoshiko caught sight of another one of her fellow pilots entering the dining area.

It was Norika! Hoshiko struggled with her surname a little, so she ended up referring to her as Norika most of the time. To be honest, she was surprised there was a younger pilot then herself on the Horizon even after six months. Of course she'd never asked Norika's age, but the girl was so tiny and cute that had to be the case, right?

She was pretty prickly, though. Hoshiko honestly wasn't sure how to approach making friends with her, but ultimately she'd decided just to try being nice and friendly towards her. Eventually she'd open up a little as long as things went well!

At least, that's how the brunette thought about it.

Thrusting one hand into the air, the long errant strand of hair atop her head bobbing from side to side, Hoshiko waved enthusiastically at the other girl, a bright grin on her face.

"Hey! Hi Norika-san! How are you?" she called to the smaller girl, enthusiastically.
