An Unknown Threat?!

Part 5

A and B had been up in the air for at least fifteen minutes with A trying to figure out where the signal was coming from. B on the other hand was still flustered as well she didn't expect to have a nickname that she made for Achlys translated by one of her favorite students at least not out loud in front of Achlys.

A looked around for a bit as the signal seemed to be stopping leaving her to wonder why it had even started. A after not being able to pick it back up again thought of it as some lucky fluke from an old terminal that was simply just sending signals to the nearest drone.

A couldn't complain though now that they were this far away from J's squad she could actually have a conversation with B about what J said.

A descended down with B following behind her. They landed atop one of the rooftops on a decently sized building that gave them quite a good view of the now desolate city.

A: Blair how long have you been calling me "Your beloved red star"?

B's worst nightmare had come true at this point she'd have to tell A something but the nickname, the crush it was all so unprofessional so how was B going to explain it?

B: Well Achlys J could have mistranslated what I said you know-

A: I don't believe that Blair. You and I'm paraphrasing a bit here have said that J is one of the best squad leaders you've trained.

B: Uh well-

A: And you were in charge of J when she was put under you were you trained those under you to learn French.

B: Heh there is no way out of playing this off is there?

A: From were I see it no. So Blair could you at least tell me when and why you've called me "Your beloved red star."?

B didn't want to just shout out that she loved A, it was just something that was too embarrassing and she could get away with telling her the bear minimum.

B: Well you see Achlys it started about uh five years after we met.

A: Five years into this or- you mean at the manor?

B nodded and was a but happy that A wasn't just trying to tell her off for making a nickname for her.

A: And why "your beloved red star"? I kind of want an explanation I mean it's flattering but why?

B: Well I was always told that stars had a unique beauty to them and I- well your eyes were always something I couldn't really describe so I just went with calling you a red star.

A: Your Beloved red star. You aren't explaining the beloved part.

B: Why don't we move the conversation to something else Achlys?

A thought about it B was still embarrassed which was a bit funny as B was typically the image of a strict stoic individual who barely cracked a smile but her she was blushing and embarrassed over A learning about a nickname.

A thought of how to move the conversation forward and decided that since Blair was so nice to give her a nickname she'd do the same.

A: Why what do you wish to talk about mein lustiges kleines Blümchen (My funny little blossom.)

B was about to mention their mission but stopped once she heard what A said.

B: What did you call me?

A: You were made for teaching at one point why don't you translate it.

B: My funny little blossom. I must ask how am I-
