Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion - The Blue Reckoning - Chapter 1: STAGE 1: Zero of the Skies - Episode 1
In order to make their way around the Sky Realm, Lelouch and C.C. join (Captain)'s crew under false identities. Thanks to this encounter, they are able to find a method for recharging the Gawain's power supply.
Several days have passed since Lelouch and C.C. found themselves in an unfamiliar world.
Lyria: Sniff, sniff...
Lyria: Mmm, something smells yummy! What's on the menu for tonight, Hansel?
Hansel: Mushroom chowder. I know you're quite a fan of it, Lyria.
Lyria: Yay, I can't wait! I have to go tell (Captain)!
After arriving in the Sky Realm, Lelouch and C.C. boarded (Captain)'s airship under the aliases Hansel and Gretel.
In order to move between islands, Lelouch and C.C. needed a ship. And although flight services are available, traveling with the Gawain would be impractical.
Even if they had been able to obtain an airship using the power of Geass, piloting one requires a specialized skillset that only a fraction of skyfarers can provide.
Therefore Lelouch concluded that joining a crew would be the most prudent course of action.
With a quick visit to the Knickknack Shack, Lelouch and C.C. were introduced to (Captain) and company.
Gretel: You've really made yourself at home as the crew's cook.
Hansel: As long as they're accommodating us, it's only natural that we should contribute and forge a positive relationship with them.
During their first encounter, Lelouch had planned to use the power of Geass to put the crew's captain under his command.
But there was a reason he decided against that method—
The reason being that (Captain) turned out to be incredibly kindhearted.
Not only were Lelouch and C.C. welcomed into the crew with open arms, they were even allowed to bring the massive Gawain onto the ship with them.
Hansel: Despite being far too trusting of others, (Captain) possesses the ability and charisma necessary to lead a crew.
Hansel: As long as they're friendly, it's best not to waste Geass on such a capable individual, since it can only be used once per person.
Hansel: But enough about that. Why aren't you working?
Gretel: You aren't much of a man if you can't manage to earn my keep along with your own.
Hansel: There you go again. Haven't you ever heard the phrase, "Those who do not work shall not eat"?
As they finish prepping the ingredients for dinner and depart from the kitchen, (Captain) and the crew appear, grinning from ear to ear.
Vyrn: Good news, you guys! We just got a letter from Mecha-Nick!
Vyrn: He says he figured out how to charge that energy filler thing we left with him!
Vyrn: Good news, you guys! We just got a letter from the Knickknack Shack!
Vyrn: It says those Rashomon Research Vessel guys figured out how to charge that energy filler thing we left with 'em!

Hansel: That certainly is good news.
Hansel: (So electricity exists in this world too. Well, that resolves our energy supply issue.)
Vyrn: Now you can get that black machine workin', right? I can't wait to see it in action!
Lyria: But didn't you say it's an ancient weapon you discovered in a distant skydom? Isn't it dangerous?
Hansel: There's no need to worry. Gretel and I are the only ones who can operate it.
Vyrn: Seein' as how you've got that crazy machine and all, it really makes me wonder who you two are.
Hansel: We're just a pair of drifters.
Hansel: On that note, we've actually been wondering something ourselves. We heard an interesting tidbit from one of the crew members...
Hansel: Apparently (Captain) and Lyria share a life force. What exactly does that mean?
Lyria: Well, that's actually one of the reasons we set out on this journey...
Lyria: The truth is, (Captain) died once saving me when I was escaping from the Erste Empire.
Lyria recounts the events on Zinkenstill that led them to embark on their journey.
Gretel: So the two of you share a life force, but the connection could be broken if you're separated, so you've been traveling together.
Gretel: In other words, that's the price you pay for saving each other. Your lives are fleeting, but that just strengthens your bond.
Vyrn: As long as they stick together, none of that stuff matters. I mean, Lyria saved (Captain)'s life. Right, (Captain)?
Gretel: Hm...
Hansel: What's wrong?
Gretel: Nothing really. I was just feeling a little jealous of (Captain) and Lyria, that's all.
Gretel: I'm having trouble recalling a single time you ever thanked me.
Gretel: I saved your life the day we met too, you know.
Lyria: What? Really?
Hansel: Hmph. Our situation is completely different—we formed a mutual contract. What is there to be grateful about?
Gretel: A real man would know to show his gratitude to a lady at least once a day. You're such a kid.
Hansel: Well, sorry for being a kid.
Hansel: In that case, maybe you should be more grateful to me for single-handedly taking care of your everyday needs.
Lelouch and C.C. continue bickering like an old married couple as they make their way back to the mess hall to begin fixing dinner.
Lyria: I can't quite put my finger on it, but Hansel and Gretel seem to have a lot of trust in each other!
Vyrn: But they don't really act like friends... Wonder what kinda relationship they have.
As they watch Lelouch and C.C. walk away, (Captain) and the crew continue to gossip playfully about the odd pair.
