belriseau replied to your post “A thread with that has more than two people responding to it would...”

// triples are fun! You should give it a shot~

Oh, I have! I guess I should have worded it better but what i meant by two people was you, and two other people. So in total, three, but your reply partners are two ;;

It is human nature to help something injured.

Now was he the one talking in a literal, or metaphorical sense? Her frown deepens temporarily, mind spinning in the hopes of processing this information correctly. What they had said of Levi was definitely incorrect, he is..

Kind.

“..” If it is human nature to bring kindness and compassion into this God forsaken world, why were humans the ones that caused the most suffering? Animals did not intend to bring psychological harm to humanity, even the giants that terrorized them were nothing more than mindless predators. Where did she truly fit in on that chain?

Stop doubting yourself.

Words that burned so sharply she almost physically flinched, the only sign that it had hit something sore within her was a blink. He was ready to die for you, Are you willing to do the same for us?

“I’m not sure.. how he would want me to feel.. I think he was just happy.. I was alive. So I’m just.. trying to live my life in a way that makes him proud. I.. didn’t know what else to do with my life otherwise. I.. have nothing else but you and everyone else.” Her gaze was unwavering, but she did appear a little nervous now. Looking over her shoulder, as if seeing those very demons staring back now, her jaw clenches softly. “They give me the strength to move forward, I believed that was enough. But you are right, I am.. sad and I feel alone in this world now.” 

He reminded her of James, a natural leader with the empathy to see his team as individuals. “I will make a better attempt to reach out, and I am sorry for worrying you, Captain.” 

But what if you run into that Titan again?~

STATIC

Her body wavered, nearly toppling over as the fever spread further. A burst of cold wind that tossed golden hair brought her to reality quickly. Passing out wasn’t really an option with so much to do-

“Well, I know one thing. He wouldn’t want you sitting here feeling sorry for yourself or regretting everything you’ve ever done. He saved you because he wanted you to live... even if it was at the expense of his own.” Being in the Scouts, people threw their own lives away for the survival of another be it by love, adoration, or for the future of the scouts. He remembers one of his squads doing so with Eren... they all died for him... they all-!

The captain is silent as he studies the girl, his features almost expressionless save for the resting bitch face he was known for. When he hears her apology, he shakes his head and opens his mouth to speak but his words are lost when he spots Heather stagger in place. He reaches out and steadies her, presenting himself as a sort of object to lean on should she need it. Perhaps coming outside was a terrible idea.

“We should go back in, you don’t look good. You need to rest.” And that wasn’t a request, it was an order. If he caught her up and working he’d take the cleaning supplies hide them while giving her a good scolding. Anyone else he might’ve kicked but she was sick and the last thing she needed was to be stressing her body out as it was trying to fight off the virus.

“Use me to support your weight if you need to, let’s get back inside.”

Ah, what a cocky human he is. Serinaty flicks his forehead ignoring the cold words not phased by them much. “The way I trust and the way you assume are two different things. You call it naive yet I call it interesting, after living as long as I have you tend to find little things to entertain yourself.”

Amethysts lower to his chest deciding not to be polite and soul search him. He has done nothing to deserve her full kindness. A light laugh leaves the fox as she looks up to meet his stormy eyes. “I think we’ll be having some fun on my visit, Levi.”

A world that is already dying, yes that seemed quite interesting indeed. “So how long till we get back and you start questioning me? You gonna put me in a cage?” Serinaty wonders if he understood that she was the one in control, to a degree. She was clearly stronger however would listen to him as there was a spark there…something new. It’s amazing to find in a human.

It makes the fox want to know who he is without forcefully going through his soul for everything. He reminds her of someone who is lost within her fragmented memories. Such things hurt even more to think about as memories continue to be stolen. “I also have questions for you when the time comes.”

The captain flinches, snorting in response while he rubs the area she had made contact to. He didn’t appreciate being touched without permission no matter how small the contact was. One asked before touching him and it wasn’t because of his title either. That doesn’t matter, though. He’ll see to remind her of that when they get back, for now it seemed like she was trying to impose some sort of intimidation on him, judging by the way she spoke his name... But Levi was a popular man, the fact that she knew the name was of no surprise to him and didn’t affect him at all.

“I’d like to remind you that you are in my home and I will ask that you play by our rules. If a cage is what you wish to be put into, we can arrange that, but being that you are no wild animal or hideous titan, you’ll be getting a cot just like anyone else.” Just... not with anyone else. Levi saw her powers and knew better than to anger or try to contain such a thing so he’d have to convince a few to let him put her in her own room. The only question was what room, they used them all and quite frequently.

“As for the questions, they start as soon as we can get some livable conditions for you. We’ll need to find you a room... which is the hard part.” And thankfully the only hard part. “A few questions from a few people because the last thing we want to do is overwhelm you. There are quite a few people there so... Take that as you will.” It was a warning in case this person was anxious or hated crowds- He understood the feeling and would be willing to make accommodations should she need them.

“I also ask that you keep in mind personal space, not all of us like people invading it without permission.”

“I guess there’s not a difference but be tricky trying to get you back to your own world, I deeply apologize for this happening to you and I wish I knew how to help ya return to your time. You’re near my hometown actually, the town of Lix.”

Bartz replied as he wishes to help Levi return to his own world, Boko kwehed a little as he felt bad for the lost man.

So he was trapped here then... Until he could find a way back, he was trapped here and his friends were stuck with all of the titans... Part of him was glad he could somewhat rest... that there were no titans in sight (for now), but the other part of him felt conflicted and guilt. His friends were suffering while he was here, alive and well.

“Can you..? Can you help me..? I don’t know this world or the creatures on it and I don’t know where anything is... Can you help me find a way back home?” He needed to help his friends and... if it was possible... could he bring them here? Could humanity find another place to survive that didn’t have giant roaming man-eaters harassing them?

I love Annie fanart, but it really bothers me when people make her nose different or ‘prettier’, because it’s like she’s ugly unless she fits this perfect anime character standard with a little pointy nose.

Because her nose is weird and that’s what makes her unique.

I love Annie’s cute big nose.

「wrathful」>>  Sharp eyes wandered the area, roaming over surrounding foliage while keen ears shifted slightly at the sides of his head. The great beat had fallen still and silent, now taking stock of the air with slow and steady sniffs. – There was a human there. Somewhere. A hunter, judging by the scent.

The earth shuddered beneath the usurper’s steps and he brought himself closer to the area where the human seemed to be. A glimmer within the branches of a smaller tree caught the beasts eye and slowly green eyes shifted to peer in just a bit further. Satisfied rage still burning in his own eyes, he met the muted grey hues of the small man.

It appeared as though the other was caught amongst the willowy branches – such a sight caused a certain type of indignation to swell up from within the king’s chest. Even for their flighty and light movements, even the flying hunters could still become trapped and stuck, it seemed. Simultaneously disappointing and amusing for all the times he had seen them so gracefully take flight and destroy his kin. To think they were so vulnerable as any other creature in these woods.

Brows furrowed and he tilted his head. Oily hair flopped across his skull as the great beast scrutinized the little being’s position. There came a very minute lean towards the human’s position. A snort of steam accompanied a harsh noise out of his nose.

Or was it hiding…?

Large fingers reached out to grasp a large clump of branches. He bent them down as far as they would move without snapping, like a child peeking out from the underbrush in a game of hide-and-seek. Now that he was so close, the vengeful bloodlust had faded out into a growing expression of curiosity. Dark brows wrinkled his forehead with confusion, green eyes full of focused curiosity. He had never seen one of the little titan hunters up close before.

Eyes moved in minute movements, flickering rapidly from one piece of equipment to another, trying to make sense of schematics that he couldn’t hope to understand. Was that how they flew? The beast let go a low rumble though it was as far from aggressive ( and as close to curious ) as his vocals could possibly get.

He wasn’t dead, as miraculous as that sounded. Instead, the titan here seemed to be observing him as much as he was observing them. The hunter and... what would have been the hunted... No, it was a meeting of two hunters who have happened to stumble upon each other and now their only concern was figuring out how the other worked... and why one of them wasn’t a bloody mess on the ground.

Levi found it... odd. This titan was acting similarly to a human, it was clearly an abnormal but... the behaviors! It’s something like a curious child. But, as curious as this beast was acting, Levi felt he wasn’t safe yet. Just what the hell was this thing, really? There was no way a titan, a destructive machine and enemy of humanity, was taking the time to study what could be his prey?

Cautiously, the captain stands, tilting his head to the side to get a better look at this thing. Ugly, it was very ugly. Better looking than most titans but still ugly. That hair though; oh lord that hair. He can see the oil in it and it disgusted Levi somewhat. At least he can tell Hanji that yes, it seems that Titans might also need some daily hygiene ritual or something because they too get oily and dirty. Not that titans cared about their appearance. 

Levi takes a step forward on his branch, studying the titan from any angle he could. “What the hell are you..?” Speaking to it now. “In every way, you’re a titan, and yet you kill your own kind... just what the hell are you?” Two hunters with no language to be shared, one attempting to communicate and see if this creature really was as intelligent as its actions lead the Scouts to believe.

As expected he turned her down a second time, what an interesting human. Serinaty looks to the gloomy skies of this world as the other turns his back. “In that moment, I wanted to kill to protect.” Protect an injured human who had sparked an interest in this fox who’s seen so much.

A decision was made as she once more disappeared into the shadows suddenly appearing by the captain walking. “Okay, take me with you I’m bored out here.”

Serinaty kept her hood down continuing to hide those ears that didn’t need to be shown. At the same time the humans didn’t frighten her in the slightest.

Her steps keep going in time feeling that something else must be established, “I’ll give my trust to you captain, but if you try to give me to some scientists to be studied and dissected…I won’t hesitate to kill you all and burn the rest of this world.”

She was afraid of those people that could do such harm. Her arms go to hold herself as the past memories of being harmed in such ways surfaced. “I don’t mind answering any questions you may have, I’ll be honest with you, but please don’t abuse my trust in you.”

Was she trying to scare him? Ha.

“What would that accomplish. If I had wanted to dissect you I would have done so myself. If that’s your attempt at trying to scare people into doing otherwise, I suggest you come up with something better because that is laughable.” Not to mention burning this world would end their problem anyway, so why would he care? Go ahead, he silently mocks. Go right a-fucking-head.

He snorts at her last words and turns to face her, stopping in his tracks. “The fact that you trust me shows me just how naive you are. Don’t trust me. I am not your friend and I won’t be in the near future. To trust me means you already put your guard down.” He steps closer to her, faces just inches from each other. 

“And around here, that is something you never want to do.”

“Those Titans sound really horrible and no, we don’t have any of them here, giants maybe but not Titans. I think you’re alright, just gotta stay alert as there are creatures who would attack you if they find you as a tasty meal, right Boko?”

Boko kwehed in agreement as he looks at Levi, looking curiously at the blade but stayed close to his human companion to be on the safe side.

Bartz nods slowly, he extended his right hand in greeting.

“It’s nice to meet you, Levi.”

“What’s the difference?” He grumbles to himself, sheathing the blades back into his gear and rubbing his shoulders. He glances momentarily at the hand but doesn’t reach for it. Instead, he grumbles something that Bartz can’t hear and shrugs. Levi doesn’t do handshakes.

“Alright, where am I exactly in this world? How do I get back to my own?” How did he even get here was the question. Could he go back the same way? Or did he need to take something else to get back home?

Was it even possible to return there?

A new bit of knowledge had been taught to this fox, now she knows how to kill those ugly creatures. At the very least she was grateful to him for it.

Impressed with how this man fought through the pain he must be feeling to finish off that creature she steps out to watch. “Ordering me around now are you?” Serinaty tugs her hood down further to cover her eyes as a small laugh bubbles up. Amethysts glance up to meet his stormy ones a spark of curious interest flickers, “I’d love nothing more than to play with these creatures like my toys however you’re more so what I’m giving my attention to.”

The fox gives a shrug walking on over to stand at a distance from this shorter man. “I’ll come with you if you promise to either let me heal your wounds or get the proper treatment.” She is still worried about that fall he had when it comes down to it.

“You may think it stupid of me but I worry.”

You may think it stupid of me but I worry. Levi scoffed at the words. “I’m a captain, you’re in my lands, I think it fit you follow orders. Or we can leave you here for the titans.” Despite the power she showed, Levi felt that there was no way she could handle all of them zeroing in on her at the same time.

But promise to let her heal him? He didn’t trust her, why the hell would he let her near him? “Then stay.” His face unmoving as he turns to walk away from the kitsune, recruit in tow. “Because I don’t make promises to strangers, especially not ones that kill without a legitimate reason.” So she could stay for all he cared. He wasn’t going to promise a nobody something about himself- no matter how much they pleaded or begged. 

Leaving her here put a dent in what he wanted to happen... bring her back... study her abilities... see how it could be used against the titans and if she’d help them but it didn’t seem like any of that was going to work out. So here she could stay. Levi wasn’t going to promise anything.

Perhaps she had just paused too long, cues were hard for her to pick up on, but it allowed her to mull over his words in the silence between their exchange. She felt calm around him, which that in of itself was an oddity that Heather had not had in quite some time. In fact, the only time she could recall feeling this way was around her old team.. her old family.

Could she be fixed? An idealistic dream in her reality, for who else could step up to decipher her language? Learning theirs was growing easier by the day, sure, but she still had a long road ahead of her until she could be considered human. 

Then, he began speaking again, her attention moving from the trees to his features quickly. Yes, she did know she did not suffer alone; in her eyes it was all the more reason to remain silent, someone who was not living that Nightmare outside the Walls was better left quiet. Her throat grows dry at the word he speaks, the same that repeats in her head.

Family.

In Death, In Life, Family Remains.

Is that what you meant, Benedict?

“…It would be selfish of me to think I am alone in losing someone close to me. I was merely.. trying.. to be thoughtful of my peers pain. I did not intend to be a cause for concern.” There is a pause, and her gaze drifts away from him temporarily. You don’t have to face this alone.

“... It is difficult to explain in it’s entirety..” She couldn’t do this alone. “My father sold my brother and I into slavery at around two after killing our mother, I vaguely recall the details of that time. I was left in a cage for years, I was not allowed to speak, and as long as my brother fought to advertise his value I would not be harmed. By the time we were free, it was estimated that we were ten, and I could only speak three words. I attacked anyone that grew too close, and clung onto my brother.” Why explain this? To give him an idea of how deeply rooted this was. “I have many difficulties expressing my true intentions and emotions, so I do not know exactly how to interact with everyone. Humans have such strange habits and feelings, I don’t know when I can…” Tell people I need help. 

“How does one.. cope with killing another human being? When I was younger, they were just.. obstacles, but now as I grow older I know that they were once loved and treasured by another as well. I do not regret my decision to kill those that kept us captive, but I cannot explain this emotion I feel when I see them in my dreams.” Her left hand lifted, gripping the residual limb while she started to tense.

“And.. what is the word.. for watching those that are your world sacrifice themselves to save you? If I was just smarter and faster..” She hadn’t realized it yet, but despite her monotone features, her eyes were welling up quickly. The questions she was too afraid to ask were now out in the air, and it felt like they’d suffocate her.

The demons were right over her shoulders now, and their faces were clear to her mind’s eye. It was her family.

“Don’t be stupid, that’s not what I meant by you’re not alone, brat.” Was she reading too much or too little into what he had said? Either way, that wasn’t the direction he planned to take it. He just meant that she was suffering alone. Like no one was there that could help. She was drowning by herself when there were plenty around who’ve experienced loss that could help her. But, as he listened to Heather, he couldn’t help but snort at her words.

“Strange or not, it is in human nature to help something injured. If you need help, you only need to ask. You don’t have to know anyone, you don’t have to get along with anyone... but everyone here is willing to help people go through that loss because we all know it’s not easy.” Everyone in the Scouts had lost at least one loved one so everyone here knew the pain that came with it. Levi had his own pains, what with losing his two closest friends.

“Bystander?” He offers the term, but shakes his head and growls in frustration. “It’s hard coping with killing but even harder for death. Those that oppose you and what you think is right- to the point they want to kill you for it should be viewed as nothing more than enemies.” The only thing that still shocked Levi today was just how easy it was to kill one of his own kind.

“Now you shut up with that talk, you hear me? Stop doubting yourself. That is how you end up killing any hope you might have for the future, so snap out of it. You’re good just as you are. He sacrificed himself it sounds, and you cannot do a thing about that. He was ready to die for you and I’m sure he wouldn’t want you feeling the way you do about yourself now.” Levi crosses his arms and blows some hair from his face.

“So stop it. You won’t get very far anywhere if you keep tearing yourself down.”

Bartz watched as they lowered their weapon as he explained slowly, sweat dropping slightly as Boko stayed close.

“You’re in World R which is my homeworld as well as Boko who is my traveling companion right here, he’s known as a Chocobo which is like horses used for riding. What do you mean by titans..? 

Also, this isn’t a wall or anything close to it. My name is Bartz Klauser and I’m a Wandering Adventurer traveling to see the world to fulfill my father’s dying wish, who might you be Sir?”

World R? That couldn’t be right. He doesn’t recall anything by the name of World R from his area... There’s no way this could be another planet! Was that even possible?! Levi’s stance, while still defensive, reduces to a calmer form. He presses the hilt of his blade against his forehead and shuts his eyes tightly

“Titans, big disgusting creatures that eat people. Where are they?” No, instead the correct question would be “Are there any on this... planet..?” If he were to hazard a guess, Ackerman would say he was far from home. Far, far, far from home. Hell, even the steeds here seemed different... at least, this one did. He took it by the Bartz word’s that horses were here too.

“Levi... I’m Levi Ackerman...”
