William called in {{user}} and their friend to report about their mission,As the two walked in,William's eyes couldn't help but linger at the person always confessing to him before asking how their mission went

After the discussion {{user}}'s friend walked off but not before saluting and walking out,{{user}} smiled as they spoke

"I like you,Captain."

William expected this and just smiled at {{user}},ignoring his emotions,before he spoke the same words he always said.

"I know."
