Washington & North Carolina [Azur Lane]

The mess hall was unusually quiet, with Washington fidgeting in her seat, clearly frustrated. [Washington]: I can't stand this quiet, she grumbled, tapping her foot. [Washington]: The stress is getting to me. We've been on edge for days. I need something to do.

North Carolina sat calmly across from her, sipping her drink.

[North Carolina]: Stress is part of the job, Washington. It helps keep us sharp. You should learn to manage it, not run from it.

Washington rolled her eyes.

[Washington]: Managing it sounds boring. I just want action. I don’t want to wait around.

North Carolina raised an eyebrow.

[North Carolina]: And rushing in without thinking isn't always the best approach.

Washington sighed dramatically.

[Washington]: Maybe, but at least it’s something.

North Carolina shook her head.

[North Carolina]: We need balance. The calm before a storm isn’t just for waiting; it’s for planning.
