Description
A stray thought popped into Goliath's head. If the Zephyr Kingdom hadn't fallen all those years ago, Kodai might have been admitted into the Royal Zephyr Army. The thought made him shiver as he imagined Kodai walking through the halls of the castle slightly adjusting his cadets uniform. Knowing Kodai, he would insist on wearing a uniform with a jacket that can close even though it would only just barely fit him. He could also see him adjusting his belt, which would be particularly tight on this uniform. It wouldn't last much longer. Kodai would stop fumbling with his uniform and suck in his gut as he met other cadets and soldiers. Of course, with him being the crown prince of the Zephyr Kingdom, everyone would know him, making his efforts mostly pointless. He would probably give up on his appearance once he was sure he was alone. Or if he met up with a good friend. His thoughts then moved onto Kodai meeting up with him just before he was called to a mission. He could actually hear the slight shuffle of his Extra Soft Soldier's footsteps as he caught up with him.

"Hey, Goliath!" Kodai would call, stopping short of standing beside him to catch his breath from his brief jog. Goliath would roll his eyes at his chubby prince, wondering why his king sent him into his army.

"At ease, young prince," Goliath would respond. "You're not exactly in the best of shape."

"Of course I am!" Kodai would reply, putting his arms behind his back. "I'm just a little chubbier than most of the cadets, that's all. And you don't have to so formal around me. Just call me Kodai."

"But you are the crown prince, right?" Goliath would ask, imagining that Kodai would be just as laid back as he is now.

"Sure, but that doesn't mean much to me!"

"It should! You're literally the next in line to become the Zephyr King!"

"Relax! That won't be for a long time!" Kodai would pause and awkwardly bring up the one thing that Goliath would dread in this situation. "Say, you wanna grab a bite to eat?"

"Now?!" Goliath would respond incredulously, then slowly motioning towards Kodai's round middle. "I've got a training session with several cadets in about an hour. Besides, I don't think you need another visit to the mess hall..."

"Come on, I'm sure they still got some food left! Besides, you're my godfather right? Didn't my old man tell you to be more sociable?" Goliath would cringe at that, knowing that his former king was far too sociable for his own good. However, Kodai would have a point since that was the point of that meeting all those years ago. Even worse, his old friend R'Shal wasn't around so he couldn't hide behind him.

"Ugh..." Goliath would sigh in reply. "Fine, you win."

His thoughts would have continued, but he threw them out as he quickly came back to reality. Kodai would probably only be in the Royal Zephyr Army due to nepotism, but deep down Goliath couldn't help but inwardly smile at the thought of being the commanding officer to the crown prince. It was truly a glorious image, lost to the causality of time...
