"May I have this dance?" - Nyxian cause if it were Aether offering Eren would end up with very sore toes. <3
Send me "May I have this dance?" for a starter of our characters meeting at a ball.
In warring times it is easy to lose sight of joy, to forget that the world is still good. Within the Walls loss and sacrifice go hand in hand, one learns to be selfless and not expect much but maybe that was what brought people together.
The anguish they suffered together be famine or plague to the violence surrounding them, humanity knew that in the vice grip of the never ending darkness that together they stand there could be light. As the bitterness would pile up in people, they combatant it with traditional festivities from cultures long gone and dead. Ceremonies mixed with different values and colors making a melting pot of something beautiful within the decay.
Though their stomachs would never be full and death awaited many, they forgot it all for a momentary second in time by singing songs of a life long ago before the Walls had ever been built. Girls ran by in beautiful dresses made from whatever fabrics that could be forged together, vendors lowered their prices and the liquor was in the plenty. Those of religious stature and to the slimiest of crooked figures would join in unity for the festivals that celebrated the oncoming harvest in the Fall.
Songs were sung in loud boisterous voices billowing loudly in melodic tongues as laughter played the part of being the chorus. Happiness, that's what it was and Eren watched from the alleys of buildings as children ran by screeching with joy as they chased each other and ran to join the many people holding hands as they swayed together. Circles were formed with hands linking together and couples danced inside of them, twirling each other as the music refused to stop playing.
Clapping, laughing, squeals of delight it was something that reminded him of the every day celebrations of his home back in Wall Maria. For now, he found joy just in watching but just as he was about to leave someone caught his attention, stopping in his tracks he turned to the young boy raising an eyebrow up. "I didn't even know you knew how to dance" for the longest time his eyes looked upon Nyxian, the realization hit him like a slap upside the head.
This is what he fought for every day, thrived and lived on! It was the simple fact that if he succeed in annihilation of these horrible monsters that plagued their world days like this could go on forever and the young boy could live happily with out a fear in the world.
The hope of humanity was the mere essence of their joy, dreams, and wishes for the future it was all here looking him straight in the eye and he was going to turn away like a fool! All because he was shy on dancing? now that was just despicable. Moving forward, he reached out to ruffle the ebony hair with a loud laugh, "You better keep up with me. I may be old but I can still move, alright?" he teased offering his bandaged hand to Nyxian, "Come on before all the couples make us look like fools"
