Thread: Fight for Humanity ;; shyone and flux

Mikasa was taken aback by the unknown mans sudden clinginess, much more as well that it had been directed towards her. Mikasa would not say that she was that much of an affectionate individual much less to someone she did not know who had become a titan and talked in that form. She continued to be wary of his motives even as he sunk to his knees and cried against her like a kicked puppy starving for attention. Her gray eyes flickered over to Eren as he assisted Shena upright once more and pursed her lips together into a tight, thin line. So much was happening and so quickly. Charles had not made a move to harm her, though and so Mikasa allowed him to have a good cry while not shifting away until he was able to attempt to get his bearings again. Turning towards her commander, she listened to his request and wrinkled her nose. Mikasa still did not know how she felt about Charles and did not like the idea about being alone with him, but someone needed to monitor the titan shifter while the higher ups figured out how to move forward. Perhaps Charles would continue to act peacefully if she was that person. She gave the salute and then turned to face Charles again, giving him a curt nod. As for the corporal Well, given that she has been out traveling with you for more than a few days, anyone would have over-exerted themselves. We all need the rest. Especially after all of this, she needed some time to wrap her head around all that had happened. She gave a one shoulder shrug and then motioned Charles to follow her, trailing after Eren at a short distance as they began to make the trek back to headquarters once more. A peculiar sense of dj vu overcame her as they approached the doors, opening them to the extensive inside with multiple floors tucked away in the structure. She supposed now that Erwin and Levi were speaking to each other, she would be responsible for placing Charles somewhere. Mikasa thought about this carefully before speaking up again, It really is a precaution. Even Eren stays down there but were going to head downstairs to the dungeon. Well keep your door open, she assured as she headed toward the appropriate stairs. She waited at the top of them for him to join her before starting the descent. Most of the journey was spent in a heavy silence as they reached the cooler lower level. A row of cells resided there along with a row of a few benches for visitors to sit and speak with whoever was locked up. They passed by a made up cell with a bed and nightstand, lamp on top of it and burning a faint and glowing light. It was Erens lodgings, and then they made their way to another cell with a bed also inside of its unit. She waved a hand to it and then took her place on the bench. I will sit out here if you need a moment of privacy, I could head back to the bottom of the steps. She shifted her legs slightly before setting her hands against the bench to either side of her and leaning back, relaxing her shoulders finally. She shut her eyes and gave the bridge of her nose a pinch. Do you remember where you were born? She decided to ask some questions as Charles got settled in. Perhaps it would take his mind off of his emotional state a bit more and it would benefit them to know if he had come from the inside of the walls or really originated from the outside. Maybe it would help them understand where the other intelligent titans came from. --- Shena never liked to be waited on ever since she had been very small. With an overbearing mother, she hated it when people worried over her for no reason, although it was obvious that she did need some help in getting to a place where she could rest easy. She made a small noise as he hooked her arm around his neck and hoisted her up, refraining from rolling her eyes at him for acting like he was some big hero for saving the damsel in distress. She supposed that she could appreciate the gesture, though. I suppose I am sorry for being in the way, she mumbled under her breath as they began to make their way back toward headquarters. There is nothing useful that I could do here, it would seem It was often difficult for her to function in this sort of state, but she at least tried to keep her head from lulling to the side or against Erens back, or from falling off the horse. She was thankful that it didnt take too long to get back to headquarters and obediently, she waited until Eren was off of the horse before using him as a support so she would not stumble off of the horse. Thank you, she calmly mentioned as they headed through the doors. Shena really did feel guilty about making a spectacle of herself even if Charles had been the one to shift into a titan in view of everyone in the survey corps in their group currently. Shena looked around briefly before point a finger up the steps. Towards the dormitories, if you will? Her voice was often meek in general but there was a crack to her tone that suggested that she continued to feel so weak. She gave a small smile as they eventually conquered the stairs and made their way to the girls dormitories. No one else was in there as it was still the middle of the day but the site of the rows of bunks was one for sore eyes. I never thought I would see bed again Shena always had a rough time sleeping on the cold Earth even in a sleeping roll. Without so much as trying to clean up, she reached up and let her head down for the first time in a week almost from the mission. The chestnut locks fell as close as to her waist in loose waves, though dirty. Even as she was dirty, Shena didnt care as she plopped down onto the nearest bed onto her stomach, giving a deep sigh of relief. Almost forgetting that Eren was there with her, she paused before shifting her head to the side and looking back at him. I didnt know that he could shift into a titan. I didnt mean to bring anything dangerous here. I-I thought she trailed off, not having the energy to think so deeply about this right now. Still, she did feel she had brought this problem on them even if she hadnt known.
