"Azure! What are you doing!?"

Azure whipped around to see Connie heading towards her. "I'm watching that titan." She replied, pointing towards the titan that saved Mikasa. Connie gave her a confused look.

Armin arrived in front of the two with Mikasa in his arms. He set the girl down and turned towards his auburnette friend.

"Azure! Why'd you run off like that?"

Azure frowned. "It doesn't matter. We have something more important to talk about."

She gestured towards the familiar titan that stood there as if it was waiting on their command. Connie pulled out his blades, preparing to strike.

"No! It's here to help. I'm sure of it," Azure said.

"We don't know that. It's a titan. All titans are unpredictable," Connie countered. Azure shook her head. "No, it's here to help," she started.

"Earlier it was just walking around with me in its hand just looking around. I could've died but I didn't."

The three looked at Azure in bewilderment. "It captured you?" Mikasa said, worry lacing her voice.

Azure vigorously shook her head. "No, I willingly went with it."

Connie smacked a hand to his forehead. "You willingly stepped into the hand of a titan!? Are you insane!?"

"Don't ask me! I don't know why I did it either!" Azure huffed.

"Okay stop arguing and think!" Armin yelled. Azure and Connie went silent.

"Doesn't that titan seem kind of weird to you guys?" Armin asked.

"Yeah, it didn't kill Azure for one," Connie chuckled.

Armin rolled his eyes. "No, not that. Isn't it weird how the titan knew where to strike that other one? It was exactly at the nape of the neck."

Azure slowly nodded. "We could probably use it to our advantage, huh?" She suggested. Armin turned to her with a smile. "Exactly! But..." he trailed off.

"But what?" Connie asked.

"I'm out of gas..." Mikasa sighed. Armin put a hand to his chin in thought. "I could give you the rest of my gas. You can take my blades too. I'll keep one for myself-"

Mikasa cut him off. "We aren't leaving you behind."

"It's for the greater good!" Armin protested.

Azure shook her head. "Absolutely not."

"We have to stick together! We can't leave you to die!" Connie said.

Armin smiled sadly. "I'm sorry for suggesting it...I have an idea though..." he started.

"...if we go somewhere, I'm sure the titan will follow us. I'll distribute my gas evenly for you three and one of you can carry me until we get to headquarters. That way, nobody gets left behind."

Connie nodded. "That's a good idea!"

Azure grimaced. "It is but I can't stick around for too long...I need to find Mina."

"Mina is with the others, she's fine!" Connie said.

Mikasa looked at Azure. She placed a hand on her shoulder. "Go do what you have to do."

Azure sent her a small smile and launched herself off the roof. She heard thundering steps behind her and turned to see the titan walking behind her. She landed on a tower and made eye contact with the titan. "Stop following me! Go help the others."
