AN: from SIII. No Spoilers that I am aware of. I still do not own Suikoden, it's characters, or even their emotions. Konami owns everything. Enjoy!
The Color of my Captain
There are some things I will never tell you. You are my captain, and it would be unprofessional for me to tell you these things.
Like how extraordinary I find your eyes, or your hair. It's a crime to keep it pinned up the way you do. Just as it's a shame to hide your beauty beneath an icy mask and a uniform.
Or how amazing and inspiring I find your calm competence. You are capable of handling any situation that comes your way: from surprise attacks, to fighting on the same side as former enemies, to dealing with a stingy council.
You've got a good heart. I see it, and so do the others. None of us could ever claim that heart, though we might wish to. Though you are a supremely able woman, there are times you let your guard down. You smile to see children playing at being knights in the city. You blush when someone remarks on your beauty. In some things, you are still a child. There are times you are vulnerable, and I would do anything to keep you from harm. There are times someone does hurt you, and I would do anything to comfort you.
I would give my very life if you asked it, and I know the others would do the same. The only one who doubts your abilities is you.
I see that you hate being a venerated "hero." You don't do these things for the glory. You do them because they need to be done. We know.
My captain, I respect, honor, and love you. To my very last breath, I love you.
