Thread: Fight for Humanity ;; shyone and flux

Mikasa could feel her blood beginning to boil as if he passed off the dead as nothing but titan food for those who wished to survive longer than their fallen comrades. However, even as she clenched her fists tightly at her sides and bit her lower lip to restrain the urge to reprimand him for it, she knew that he was speaking the harsh truth. She looked away from Charles as she tried to piece her thoughts together but then he shifted the conversation to his background, which she attempted to tune into, to absorb what information she could just in case he might slip in a few extra details from what he had told to corporal once their stories were compared. That was if they ever got to that point. The higher ups had been so burdened by allowing Eren to stay in the Survey Corps that they might not have the patience to hear this man out. Someone from the outside that they did not know She thought he was a bit ignorant to not think that he would have to defend himself but perhaps ten years was a long enough time to lose knowledge of how things were ran here. She shook her head before their group stopped at the doors to their headquarters and she looked back to him. They are going to be more concerned about what you plan to do now, that is. I dont think there has been a case where there has been anyone new coming from the outside Even if you might think that there are people out there that would want to get away from the titans, there hasnt been a case that I have known where this is true. And we have had trouble dealing with the military police already. She doubted that the story about Eren would appeal to him, though if she only knew the truth behind what Charles was. She continued with her lips set to a thin line afterwards. There has been great upset and so its difficult to trust anyone right now. Titans have broken down Wall Maria and made an attack on Trost. We are trying to pick up the pieces. And then he put his arm around her much to her displeasure but Eren was quick to rear his head at that. Looking between the two, she knew that it would be a disaster if they were to make too much of a scene here right before walking into headquarters. Eren, calm down, she warned before raising both her hands and giving Charles a rather stern push away from her form. In less than a second, she had turned on her heels towards Charles and she was raising one of her hands and striking it across his face hard, before looking him in the eyes. Frowning, she spoke to him, Youre a stranger and that could have been perceived as an attack on me, you know. Youre going to get yourself killed. --- Shena listened to him curiously. Although this world was very twisted, he seemed persistent in ridding the world of the titans and probably hoping for some sort of justice for those that used it to their advantage. I dont think I would hope for anyone to become titan food, but I do think there is a special kind of suffering awaiting those that use others as their pawns to gain something from the world they wont dare step foot in. She gave a nervous smirk and tilt of her head as they approached the double doors to the headquarters. Im sure you will be on the outside soon enough. She briefly looked back to Mikasa and Charles who seemed to be talking to one another. The dark haired woman didnt seem too pleased by the look on her face with how it was going, but Shena assumed it might be because of the way he spoke. She had observed from the time she had spent with him that he knew little to nothing about life inside the walls, which made her think that his far-fetched story might be all the more honest. But meet and act like that to the wrong sort of personality and Shena knew it could be trouble. Well she began uncertainly as she tried to recollect what she had learned as she turned back to Eren. He told me that he had been on the outside for years. I could hardly believe it but he seems to not know much about the armies or what goes on here. Not only that but while we were travelling I noticed that his hands are rather scruffed up. They have marks all on them but I never asked about it. Perhaps some accident but why just his hands? Why not his legs or at least on his face as well? She hadnt wanted to ask Charles in order to seem that he was being suspicious of him before they got him inside but it had still made her wonder about it. And then like some switch had been flicked on, Eren went around her to head back to the pair in a fit of anger. Shena frowned and concern dripped into her voice, Wait- whats wrong?! And then she turned around and saw that Charles was leaning himself up against Mikasa as if they were close friends. Her light blue eyes narrowed back to them before she followed after him and she cringed as Eren asked what they were doing. Mikasa seemed to at least have some sort of grip on the situation. Still, she felt somewhat responsible since she had decided to bring him along with her group. Ch-Charles, can you take it easy for a second? Some of these people not be so open-minded to the fact that youre here and no one knows who you are or where you came from She looked around, seeing a few other officers stepping away from the group with eyes focused on the situation just in case it went south. She gritted her teeth together and Mikasa, seeing the look in her eyes, had the feeling that this could be dangerous if it continued. Mikasa placed a hand on one of her hips. You shouldnt be smiling like that, she spoke to Charles seriously. And Im not going to defend you from my brother Remember youre the stranger here so people are going to be watching you. And her, which she didnt feel would be a good thing. Shena frowned slightly. That is true. Charles, be careful what you do from now on. And how you say things, just in case. Youre going to meet a lot of emotional people with a lot of influence here soon so you need to keep that in mind. Well, technically it was the truth. People in higher power could make important decisions and so they did whether or not their intentions were good or bad. They could only do so much to ensure that he wouldnt be killed on the spot by whatever council saw to him after the Survey Corps questioned him, because that much was inevitable. She pressed her thumb and index finger on her temples, hand stretching over the plane of her face in a face palm as she sighed. Her exhaustion just double, she felt. That was when the doors opened and Erwin walked back over to the group, seeming a bit wary himself from what had just happened. Follow me, he ordered. Levi, who had been standing behind the taller and blonde male, looked briefly over to Eren without saying a word and going inside. Mikasa really hoped that this outburst wouldnt affect any of them in the long run, though she really did not know how to wrap her head around Charles just yet.
