I'm LOVING this! The callow youth, still too lacking in self-awareness to notice the classist stick up his arse, and the forthright, accomplished soldier who is motivated to be kind to the feckless innocent but still repelled by his unconscious entitlement. It's very, very promising!
Like you, I have never been seasick (though I have been known to get carsick in the past, but not severely), but I have witnessed it on enough occasions to know it must be wretched. I think you wrote that bit very believably. Poor woobie. And he IS a woobie, practically a child, for all he knows about life in the wide world.
