@soistarve : “that was a brave thing you did today.”
He wondered if anyone else’s predecessors were as mouthy as she was, or if Ymir was truly just a special case. Nobody warned him how vocal they would be, and vocal was just one of the few choice words he’d use to describe her. Porco knew the trip back to Marley was going to be long, his titan form being pushed to the limit on the journey back to provide more cover should they come under fire again, he was surprised Ymir hadn’t shown up sooner.
“It wasn’t brave. He shouldn’t have been so sluggish. I was just doing my job.” Grumbled into whatever expanse it was that she had manifested from, Porco had learnt by now that it was better to just respond than ignore her, lest she give him more useless memories about the survey corps. “You’re only calling it brave because he was your friend.” Your. So dismissive, as though the years of (strained) camaraderie between he and Reiner amounted to nothing. It was fickle. Everything always so fucking fickle.
“It wasn’t for him.” Admitted to avoid further scrutiny at her hands, Porco could only sigh and silently curse Reiner for not having his head in the game. “Those kids would have found out fast that anti-titan artillery doesn’t take any prisoners if i didn’t do something. It wasn’t for him and i sure as hell don’t need your opinion on it either, Ymir.”
