"Come on now, hurry up!"
Sigrun's voice made Emil try to hurry his steps, but instead he slipped on the hood of the 90-year old car. A hand came into his view and Sigrun smiled at him. Emil gladly accepted the help and Sigrun pulled him onto the hood before hurrying ahead again. Emil's eyes followed her a couple seconds before his legs started moving as well.
He would like to think of her as his mentor, but that wasn't entirely correct. She was his superior and she behaved like it. Emil didn't always like her orders, but the air around her screamed that she was a person you followed, a person you didn't try to lead. And Emil... He just wanted to impress her. He wanted to show that he was good enough to be lead by her.
"We ain't got all day, Emil!"
Emil looked up, noticed how far ahead she had gotten and hurried his steps. She hit his back when he caught up and then started walking again. Emil smiled, tried to keep up with her brisk pace.
In the end, when it came to Sigrun, he didn't actually need to prove himself. Both of them knew he didn't have enough experience to make a very good hunter, but she still trusted him to have her back.
And he trusted her to have his.
Emil didn't have a word to describe his relationship to his Captain. It wasn't friendship and it wasn't quite mentorship. It wasn't even that between a superior and those below.
In the end, it was a Sigrunship.
