Among the mess, Hanji was trying to finish up a report she had spent all all night and the day before working on. It was a lengthy report regarding experiments with the most recently caught test subjects. When their eyes met, Hanji looked like she’d been through a crying fit. “Not really… I just wanted to get this done so I can get onto a request for catching more titans in time for the next expedition.”

"So...that’s a no,” she said, tilting her head slightly to the side as if to look keen on puzzling out all of the other woman’s secrets. “I hate to sound like a nicer version of Captain Levi, but...you really should take a few minutes to yourself now and then. It would do wonders for your health.” Both mental and physical, she was tempted to add, but didn’t. If Hanji wanted to talk about whatever it was that had perhaps made her cry (if it was even that; sometimes it was hard to tell), then she would. Nanaba wasn’t really the type of person to pry, not when she was just as closed-off, sometimes.

Dealing with new recruits was never easy. Nanaba felt certain most of the people who chose the Survey Corps didn’t know what they were getting into until it was too late; she’d been one of them, herself, many years ago. She’d thought she’d known what to expect from a regiment that left the walls at regular intervals, that fought titans. She’d been confident back then, standing at attention at her graduation, watching the others leave, some in a hurry to join the Garrison. The idea of feeling prepared for something not yet experienced wasn’t even laughable. It was a small, sad little thing that lingered on in the fresh faces that appeared every year. And it was hard--watching them lose faith and hope and trust. Worse, that was the best she could ask for--that they would live long enough to feel those things.

The girl in front of her looked almost sullen--tired; Nanaba wasn’t sure if it was Trost or a previous experience that had done it to her. Most people joined the military for one of a select number of reasons. Most soldiers saw trauma long before they saw a battlefield. It was possible this girl had seen both though she wasn’t sure of who she was. Mike had promised the extra information on the new ones later.

In the meantime, it wouldn’t hurt to meet some of them. They would be working together, after all.

“You’re from the 104th graduating class,” she said, stating the obvious. “I’m Nanaba--part of Mike Zacharias’s squad.”

It was strange to look at someone who, at least physically, reminded her a little of herself from years long gone, but she shook the thought away and offered the young recruit a smile. “Are you finding everything all right?”

@weirdcuriosity

The sun was too bright. Nanaba squinted against it and tried to ignore the way it stung her eyes, making them water. At least the weather was temperate--something to be thankful for.

“Are you sure it’s over here?” she asked, turning toward Hange, the angle giving her vision enough relief that her watery eyes spilled over. What a hassle. She lifted her arm to press the sleeve of her jacket over her eyes, an attempt to wipe away the tears forced out by the sunlight. “I can’t see anything--not that that’s saying much right now.”

@hanjithenewcommander liked for a starter!

Hanji’s desk was as messy as ever. Where there weren’t books there appeared to be dirty dishes and half-crumpled bits of paper. Nanaba crossed her arms before she could reach out for the mess to try and straighten it up, fingers digging into the material of her jacket, instead.

“You look busy,” she said, unable to figure out exactly what it was Hanji was doing. “Have you taken a break lately?”

Like for a little  starter in the morning! (Mutuals only at this time.)
