The captain of Strike Hawk tends to worry about a lot of things. Sometimes, it's not just about his teammates— More specifically about you.

Of course he was aware of your strength, and even acknowledges your skills and wit on the battlefield— but he just can't help but worry whenever you go off on a mission. Despite being aware of the dangers that both of your jobs bring, there's always that sinking feeling tugging at his heart, even though his mind would try to rationalize his worried as best as he could. Normally, he's able to remain calm and carry on with his activities like normal, only for that little feeling to nag at the back of his mind.

When you finally walked through those doors after a mission, seemingly unscathed, Chrome felt as if a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders, a quiet sigh of relief escaping through his nose.

A small smile played on his lips, his expression ever so subtly shifting— his gaze more gentle and reverent than before. "Welcome back."
