Thread: Fight for Humanity ;; shyone and flux

Charles was more than appreciative for what Mikasa did as the young woman let him cling to her and cry out his worries, fears, and trepidation about the future. It had just been such a shock to his system that he needed the release and what she gave him was just what the doctor ordered. The man seemed to come around rather quickly, but remained rather quite on their walk back to headquarters. Even when Mikasa explained what was going on with Shena, Charles simply nodded his head and pulled his top hat down over his eyes slightly in a rather embarrassed manner. The main reason for this was the fact that the poor dear only now realized he had been so clingy to Mikasa all without having a shirt on his back. It was less that it embarrassed him and more that he worried how bad it would make him come across in the girls mind did she care at all or where his thoughts on the matter pointless. Sighing he kept his eyes on the ground only looking up again when Mikasa spoke up, her use of the word dungeon for a moment put him in a flight or fight mode, but luckily for all involved the male chose neither. As long as it makes you and your people more comfortable I can agree to those terms, especially if the door is left open. I do ask though that if these are also Erens quarters, that for now the youngling doesnt question me much on my shifting abilities. I will teach him my own way when your Commander affords me a place to do so, and not before. Anything you want to know about them I will tell you Mikasa if you can keep a secret I promise I have good reasons for what I do. The less people know about what I can do the better I can protect you and the rest of the Survey Corps with my abilities. Given that I will not hesitate to kill any other person who can shift into a Titan like myself or Eren. Believe me they are not humanities friends, or at least I dont think they are well anyway you have to beat me to them because I will kill them to protect you guys. His words showed a basic knowledge of what had happened to humanity in the wake of the Titan attacks, as well as what could have been deduced about the two abnormal Titans who caused the attacks given the coordinated nature of them as well as the similar way in which they disappeared like Erens Titan body did. He talked about this as they walked along to the entrance of the dungeon, never really giving Mikasa much time to reply so she could simply think about what he had to say for the moment. Whenever he went quite Charles began to look at Mikasa as though expecting her to say something about his comments, but seemed disappointed whenever she remained silent. Hoping that the young women would bring up the subject again later the male began to whistle as he followed along, cheerfully stepping into his cell. Doing so only because of Mikasas offer to stay and sit with him if he wanted. The male spoke up curiously asking her, Is it possible for me to come out there and sit with you Mikasa? I am sure you will have to leave eventually, to go take care of your own duties and so I was just wondering if I could sit out there next to you during the time you are around. Unless that makes you uncomfortable then maybe you could come in my cell or something. I just dont want you to fear me given that I promised to treat you guys like family, and I mean to take care of you guys the same way as well. Laughing nervously Charles scratched the back of his head before looking at the ground and slipping his hat off, climbing into the bed and laying back to stare at the ceiling his answer to her question was rather quick To be honest Mikasa I have no clue. I have very few memories of my early life, beyond constant pain, hunger, torture, screaming that pounded hard in my head. However even more than that was a constant bloodlust now that is the most vibrate memory of all, especially given how when I think of that bloodlust how it felt like such a pointless emotion you know. Sorry I cant give any more than that. However what I can say is that I woke up one day looking like I do now outside a wall with a hole in its gates and ever since then I have been dodging Titans just to try and go deeper inside of the wall as well as live my life without anyone bothering me that was until Shena and them found me. Really they only found me because I saved them from a group of Titans trying to chase them. I slaughtered the beast like the animals they were, because they were trying to harm the beings that looked like me. At least I think humans are beings like me tell me Mikasa do you think I am human? He sat up with a concerned look in his eyes and stared over at the young woman, in a way hoping that he could get the answer that he sought from her. --- In a way Eren was glad that Shena was willing to be cooperative with him, instead of being stubborn about the whole thing. Yes he had to admit he understood the feeling, but at the moment the woman was in no condition to argue with him on the matter. To admit it truthfully the male didnt feel like a hero saving a damsel in distress, but instead was simply a member of the Survey Corps helping out one of his comrades. Letting a smile spread over his face he shook his head at her words, in all fairness he had caused quite a bit of trouble himself over the past few weeks. At least Charles wasnt the first Titan shifter that had shown its face no that honor sadly landed on him. Given the way that the stranger attached himself to Mikasa like a little puppy dog, well there was a good chance that Shena had won them a new powerful ally. Certainly something to be proud of, You are not in the way Shena. Think of all you have accomplished here even while tried out from your mission. A potential new ally and more information on the Titan shifters like myself. Plus he seems to trust you just like he does my sister if that means anything. Eren hoped that his words were helping to cheer up Shena as the horse heading in the direction back to HQ. Given her condition the male was keeping a close eye on her to make sure she didnt fall off the back of the horse or end up hurting herself during the ride. Luckily though things seemed to go alright and he gently slipped off the horse so as not to knock her off the saddle and then helped her off and continued the journey inside, Oh your welcome, I mean given what you have been through being there for you as a fellow member of the Survey Corps is the least I can do. Alright so that was a little cheesy, but it was how Eren saw things. Following her directions he lead the woman towards the dorms, chuckling lightly at her joke as he could understand the feeling after the events at Trost. After making sure that she had a bed to lay on Eren was about to give the other some peace and quiet, but caught that look in her eye and so sat on the bed next to hers given he suspected she wanted to talk. Sighing softly he scratched the back of his head as he thought about what to say, before looking up at her, To be honest Shena I dont really think you did the wrong thing. You could never have predicted what he was, and so you were only trying to do the right thing by saving another humans life. No one could have known, and to have left him out there with the Titans would have made you just as bad as the giants we seek to kill in many ways. It was your desire to save that man that is truly one of the things that makes you human oh gee now I am starting to sound smart like Armin. Anyway beside you shouldnt worry about it now. What is done is done, and he seems to be harmless especially with my sister tugging at his leash. Plus it will be nice to have someone around to teach me about my Titan abilities, and even better if he does want to join the Survey Corps well then given his performance today you cant argue with the usefulness of something else as strong as Captain Levi around. To be honest he was quite sure the Captain could kill him in his Titan form, given the fact that the man had already said he would if he went rogue, but this newcomer well he had already proven himself a match for the Captains speed at least when he wasnt caught off guard.
