Thread: Fight for Humanity ;; shyone and flux

Mikasa was a bit concerned as he mentioned recalling instances of experiencing bloodlust. It was not a sentiment that she shared with him unless it came to protecting her loved ones. Even then, she tried to plan her attacks carefully. She knew nothing about this titan shifter and he certainly wasnt like Eren in nature at all. She didnt know how to react to him now besides listening to what he could recall and try to think of other questions that might elicit information for the Corporal about the outside world. She sat back in her seat with her hands on her knees and looked at him with a steady gaze, never wavering even as he asked his question that balanced his humanity on her judging scale. She leaned forward, looking him up and down with scrutiny in her eyes before she decided to answer him honestly. You are clearly not a human. But it would be as if I am saying that my brother, Eren, was never a human to begin with. It is up to you and how you act that determines whether or not you classify as a human. In this world, she supposed that the line between monster and human were blurring quickly especially as the concept of a titan shifter came about. Mikasa didnt know how to fully grasp it but because of how Eren was and what he would go through, she thrust herself at the forefront of it all. She didnt know what to tell Charles and she couldnt very well tell him all that was going on, not yet, at least. They still needed to feel each other out. For a long time after that, she sat in a heavy silence before shifting and getting up from her seat. She turned to him and tried to seem more relaxed although her guard was up at all times. I can go get you some water. Is there anything else? Food? She decided to offer if they would be there for a long time, waiting. It was her responsibility to ensure that Charles felt comfortable enough to not go bolting again and she had concluded that at least attempting to treat him more like an actual individual and less like an oddity would be a good start. --- Shena did feel better that he would give some form of justification to what she did, even if it were just his words. Nodding slowly, she looked down to the bed before and gave a tiredless sigh. I guess you are right. But I honestly dont know if he would be willing to fully cooperate. Maybe I should have explained how things have been a bit better- but I was very busy making sure who I could bring back remained alive. Even that always seems to fail. Even though she had seen gratuitous amounts of life lost, she still seemed to have a softer look in her eyes. She hadnt lost that certain appeal to humanity just yet. She crossed her legs and leaned back in a sitting position on the bed, pursing her lips together. What now, was the major question. Looking over to Eren, she supposed she could be asking him a lot of things as well. It wasnt every day that you were allowed to be around the so-called instrument to humanity or whatever it was Even so, people did really hold him at arms length it seemed. Shena didnt truly understand why as it seemed he was just a normal guy to her. Perhaps she was too nave. Hey- er, you dont have to stick around if you dont want to. It was just nice for a little while to have someone actually come around and linger a bit for once, she ran a hand loosely through her brunette hair, biting the inside of her cheek slightly. I would figure that people are annoyed that I push myself so much despite having a pretty terrible body to live in. But I dont mean to seem like I want attention or anything. I dont But I figured I should at least die doing something that might help us all in some way. And I suppose they were desperate for Scouting Legion members enough that they let me come on board. Shena chuckled dryly. That notion seemed to somewhat upset her by the change in her expression but she was speaking the truth. Wearing the Wings of Freedom was like an emblem of death. You willed your life away for a lost cause supposedly. But thank you for getting me back here, anyway. I guess I have to recover Im sure they will want me to come about and meet with them and Charles again. I hate the political side of these things She grumbled.
