Thread: Fight for Humanity ;; shyone and flux

The two women stood upon the rooftop and listened to Charles as he could actually verbalize what he wanted to. The two females looked at one another and then back to the hand that was extended to them. It was a moments hesitation before they carefully stepped inside and was lowered to the ground. The flesh of his palm was very hot, like a humid summers day with no cloud coverage. The heat and steamed made Shenas head feel all the more heavy and Mikasa offered her a hand as they stepped off the edge of the hand to the pavement below. The two, together, looked on as Charles escaped his titan shell and Shena forced herself off of Mikasas figure so that she and Chester were in close proximity by themselves and the hug happened. Mikasa had not expected Charles to cling to her so firmly. She doubted that she could pry his fingers or arms off of her without doing it by force. She was in no position to do so, however. Charles expression the way he acted he seemed so desperate for what he had said he wanted that it sounded real. Hesitating slightly, she placed a hand on one of his shoulders. The other hand went to the back of his head, tangling into the puffy and long strands of black beneath the hat as best she could as a comforting gesture in his time of vulnerability. She gave the shoulder a light squeeze. The Survey Corps, although military and wanting the best for humanity in expanding their borders, they were the outcasts that people believed they were wasting their tax money on. People who wished to go to their deaths as quick as possible. She knew the feeling that came with following Eren to ensure he lived but she would not have it any other way. She had made some friends here. Erwin watched the scene with careful eyes in order to make sure that Charles did not do anything irrational or hasty in order to ensure his safety, or to compromise the safety of his cadets. When it appeared that he did not wish to do any harm to Mikasa, he stepped forward once and looked Charles square in the eyes with his lips set into a thin line, that expression always stoic. You can stay with us if you provide assistance in teaching Eren more about hardening, fighting as a titan other things. He proposed this without Erens consent because he had not much say in this case. Eren was useful but only so much. Charles knew how to harden the nape of his neck and so it gave way to Erwin thinking that he knew quite a bit more about being a titan shifter than Jaeger did. Mikasa also thought it was a fair compromise. Stand up, now, Mikasa told Charles quietly as she pulled away slowly, turning around to face him while placing her hands onto both of his shoulders. Ig you really mean what you say, you could start out by answering our questions about how life on the outside has been what you were doing there for so long. She paused before looking at him in the face as well. It is what we do in these cases. You understand as the outside is unforgiving and cruel. We will help you if you help us. Her dark eyes flickered over to Erens tighten form carefully, looking over Charles shoulder to her adoptive brother. She gave a curt nod to indicate that things would be alright. --- Shena had been careful and pacing her movements the entire time as she was lowered to the ground. She was actually grateful for it as another dizzy spell almost caught her off guard and she wobbled away from Mikasa as the man transformed back into human form and approached. She had once felt that she was in the position to help Charles the most but given her health dipping out, she realized it might not be so. The brunette could only watch as Mikasa hed onto the shifter and Erwin assured that they would have a deal so long as no one betrayed the other. Her eyelashes lowered as she thought how terrible it must have been to have lived on the outside for so long. She was responsible for going to the outside, figuratively alone as she was the only one with military experience under her belt more often than not in her mission groups. She had lost many a nights sleep even when she was home at headquarters, trying to sleep through the visions in her head of all the things she had seen. She wasnt sure if it would be the same for Charles if he had been alone but she remembered most of the faces of the people who were destroyed thanks to the titans. Her mind heavy with her sudden recollection and the period of events that had befallen them all, she finally could not stand on her own two legs as the lungs in her body constricted tightly, causing her to struggle in breathing for a moment. Shena gave a small wheeze as she knelt forward and fell to her knees, bowing her head low. A hand went to her chest where her heart pounded fast. How could she be so useless in a time like this? She felt a pair of hands on her shoulders. Turning her head, she saw Levi standing over her, looking down at her with a hint of concern in those cold eyes. Levi did have a heart though at sometimes it could be doubtful to those who did not know him well. We need to get you to a medical examiner, he simple stated. Shena shook her head and raised the hand from her chest into the air to wave it off. Th-theres no need for something like that. I just need some rest, Shena assured the Captain, though she made no move to push herself off from the ground just yet. Levi took his hands from her and stood close to her just in case she changed her mind as she attempted to trick her brain into thinking that everything would be fine. It was simple exhaustion, after all. A shower and a bed did sound lovely and hopefully the issue with Charles was finally resolved enough that she could take some time to rest. She was awfully stubborn with her health and was unaware that a fever was slowly coming on.
