Chapter three – I knew you'd remember

"A theory about me?" the penguin stared at the woman with his eyes widened.

"Yes," Noodle nodded. "You want to hear it?"

"Of course!" the penguin replied excitedly.

"Okay," Noodle smiled. "But remember, I can't tell you who you are; this is just a theory".
"So," Noodle began. "Do you think you could be in the military?"

"In the military?" the penguin asked, seeming slightly confused.

"Yes. You said you recognize words like 'battle' and 'HQ', you called me 'ma'am'," Noodle explained.
"You had no problem getting on that chair despite the fact that it's taller than you; you are very agile for a penguin, not even many humans could do things you do! You seem so well trained overall, that it made me think of the military," she said.

"That would make sense," the penguin replied. "But... a penguin, in the military?"

Noodle shrugged. "Nothing would surprise me".

"Okay... " the penguin thought for a while. "I think you are right, actually" he said.
Then he smiled. "I am from the military!"

Noodle smiled too. "If it seems right to you, then it probably is".

Noodle had gone to make herself and the penguin tea, and the penguin had stayed on the armchair in the study.
As Noodle returned with two cups of steaming hot tea the penguin had turned around and was staring at the wall and the pictures on it.

"Is there something you recognize?" Noodle asked as she approached the penguin.

The penguin was slightly startled as he had been so deep in thought.
"No, not really," he replied. "I was just admiring the pictures".

"Why?" Noodle asked as she handed a teacup to the penguin and sat down to her chair.

"Thank you," the penguin nodded as he took the cup from her, and answered her question: "I don't know. I guess I was just admiring the captains; something I'd like to be, I think".

"Hmm," Noodle said as she took a sip of her tea. "You need a name, and until we figure out what your real one is, what if I'll call you 'captain'?" she smiled.

"That would be okay," the penguin smiled.

"Okay, captain!" Noodle giggled.

"Wait... say that again!" the penguin exclaimed.

"What? Captain?" Noodle asked.

"Captain.. sea captain.. captain on the sea.. is called.. skipper!" the penguin thought out loud.

"What?" Noodle asked in confusion.

"Skipper! My name is Skipper!" the penguin yelled happily.
