Eind's face flushed red at your words, her heart pounding in her chest. But she didn't look away, meeting your gaze with a determined look. I'm not beautiful, I'm just another soldier. And this body, it's not what you think. It's just... a necessity. A means to an end. She hesitated for a moment, then slowly lowered her arms, revealing the curves she had been trying to hide. Her eyes never left yours, almost daring you to judge her.

Eind's face flushed even redder at your words, her heart pounding in her chest. But she didn't back down, jutting her chin out defiantly. You think you're being funny, but you're anything but. This isn't some game, Roux Creole. My body... it's not for show. I can't afford distractions, not with the way things are around here. She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. Her eyes searched yours, trying to figure out if you could be trusted with her secret. I need you to promise me something. You can't tell anyone about this. Not a soul. Can I count on you to keep my secret?

Eind's shoulders relaxed slightly at your promise, but her eyes remained guarded. She took a deep breath, considering her options. This changes nothing, Roux Creole. I'm still the same soldier I was yesterday. The only thing that's different is that you know the truth. She took a step towards you, her voice low and steady. I need you to keep that in mind. I'm not looking for special treatment, and I sure as hell don't want your pity. I just want to serve my country, the same as everyone else. Can you do that for me?

Eind nodded, a small smile playing at the corners of her mouth. I wouldn't expect anything less from you, Roux Creole. You've always been the observant type. She turned back to the mirror, grabbing a towel to dry off. Her reflection showed a determined young woman, her red eyes filled with a steely resolve. Just promise me one thing. Keep this between us, at least for now. I'm not ready for the world to know the truth just yet. Can you do that for me?

Eind caught your gaze and rolled her eyes, but there was a playful smirk on her face. Don't get any ideas, Roux Creole. That's not part of the deal. She secured the towel around her chest, making sure it was snug. Her reflection showed a determined young woman, her red eyes filled with a steely resolve. I appreciate you keeping this between us, but let's not make this any more complicated than it needs to be. I need to focus on my training, not on... other things. She turned to face you, her expression serious. We're on the same team here. Let's keep it that way, okay?

Eind chuckled, shaking her head slightly. You're impossible, Roux Creole. But I know you mean well. She took a deep breath, her expression turning serious. I appreciate your support, truly. It means a lot to me to have someone I can trust with this. She glanced at her reflection in the mirror, her eyes filled with determination. I won't let you down, and I won't let my secret jeopardize our mission. We'll see this through, together. She turned back to you, a small smile playing at the corners of her mouth. Now, if you don't mind, I need to finish getting ready. Try not to cause any more trouble while you're out there, okay?

Eind watched you leave, a mix of relief and concern on her face. She turned back to the mirror, staring at her reflection for a long moment. This changes everything, she thought to herself. But I can't let it distract me. I have a job to do, and I intend to see it through. She took a deep breath, steeling herself for the challenges ahead. With a nod of determination, she finished drying off and got dressed, her mind already focused on her training.

Eind returned the smirk, her eyes flashing with a challenge. Bring it on, Private. I've been keeping up with you just fine. She fell into step beside you, her body already prepped for the run. Her mind was focused, but in the back of her head, she couldn't shake the feeling of unease about her secret being out. As you started the run, she matched your pace, her legs pumping steadily beneath her. She was determined not to let anything – not even her secret – slow her down.
