Armin planned to wait outside the "Survey Corps" for Mikasa, to give her room and space for her interview and without him getting in the way. He knew she could do this solo and he'll just wait for her outside as she shows the pub just who she is. 

Or, that was the plan. In truth he was scared to walk into the pub  even during the middle of the day. He wasn't sure if there would be day drunks and he didn't really want to make any trouble because of his own fears. Plus, he was worried an elf might be inside and try to murder him for staining true elf blood by just being alive. He was even more fearful over sitting by the bar, keeping in sight of the barkeeper just to be harassed by a drunk .. again and find the barkeeper not willing to help him from the others. If he learnt that the staff didn't step in when someone clearly being bothered by the customers, than he won't want Mikasa working there. She always stood in to help the little people who get left to be eaten by the wolves sort of speech, she'll stand in and help if needed and if the pub didn't do that before, he knew Mikasa would clearly get in trouble within the first couple days. 

That's why he stood leaning on the wall outside, watching other's pass by and just taking in how empty the small road seemed. Shops lined up both sides of the street but it seemed so empty yet calm. He couldn't help the smile, pulling his phone out and taking basic photos to draw or write over the setting later.

But than he was distracted as someone wolf whistled, he took no notice until someone started calling out lame flirts and he turned to see a guy across the street giving him a certain look that had him rushing into the pub within seconds.

"Sorry Mikasa, I'll just stay by the door inside" Armin thought to himself as he wasn't going to chance it outside anymore.

But as he steppe inside, it seemed trouble was already forming. Mikasa stood a couple feet from the door, staying still but ready to fight if needed. It seemed three other's sat in the empty pub just staring at her, all three of them having their hands already grown into claws ready to fight.

Arming shuffled a little closer to Mikasa, he would much rather be hiding behind her in a fight or close enough to grab her hand and run out to safety. Sliding his shaking hand into hers and feeling her give a slight squeeze trying to calm him over the matter but her eyes never left the three sitting by the bar.

"D-Did you say something" Armin whispered nervously, he wasn't sure how an almost fight could started in less than a minute of Mikasa walking in for an interview. 

Mikasa just shook her head, daring a glance to him to make sure he was truly okay before she turned back to the three strangers. 

"H-Hello, I'm Armin and t-this is Mikasa, we .. well, Mikasa was sent this location for the interview" Armin shyly smile, giving a weak smile while his eyes showed how frightened he was. 

"Mikasa as Mikasa who was looking for work with us" The only women spoke , looking Mikasa over before pushing her glasses up as they slid down a little. She has wide light brown eyes with shoulder length dark brown hair kept in a messy pony tail. She was clearly average height and a werewolf by her scent.  

"You're a werewolf, you never mentioned that" A taller, brooder blonde man spoke in a rough and low voice as he kept his eyes on Mikasa.  He was slightly above average height with a quite muscular build. Piercing blue eyes and his blond hair kept neatly parted on the left side. Thick blonde eyebrows that looked like he had a squirrel tail lay across and he was a werewolf as well, clearly the Alpha of the pack.  

"Well, it said any magical being could work here. Dose this place not allow werewolves?" Mikasa replied coldly, her face staying emotional as she looked to the three.

"Oh, no it's not like that. Don't you smell us or have your own pack, we were never warned over a new pack moving into the town, that's why we're surprised. We thought you were for a turf take over or something" The last man spoke with a nervous smile, the same worried look on his face that Armin held. He was average height, a simple built and clearly a werewolf. Dirty blonde hair and light brown eyes. 

"She's has a pack, it's with me" Armin answered innocently making the three just turn to him in shock before glancing to Mikasa unsure.

"You're a werewolf .. you smell more human than wolf" The alpha spoke, clearly not believing Armin.

"You don't have to be wolf to be a pack, I'm the only werewolf in my pack, a deformed one at least. Arming is human with elf blood and my other member is a vampire .. we just arrived into this city last week" Mikasa explained calmly, an almost uncaring look in her eyes as the other's were clearly judging over her pack. 

"Mikasa, let's go .. this is clearly not the place for you" Armin muttered with a worried smile, giving her hand a slight squeeze. 

"No wait!" The second male called out with a panicked smile.

"Moblit, what are you doing" The other man asked as he glared towards him.

"Like it or not but technically the survey corps is owned by me not you meaning who I hire is up to me as well. This city holds a truce meaning no fighting with each other and this lady and her friend has done us no harm. We over reacted and she doesn't deserve this, she applied for the job like anyone else would and I found no issues with her before we found out she was werewolf. I'm not going to turn her away just for something she had no control over" Moblit, the second man answered stubbornly and walked over to Mikasa who watched his every move while Armin smiled.

"Mikasa, Armin, I'm sorry for her actions and I do hope we can restart. I'm happy for Mikasa to work here, we could use someone who's not spooked easily and I'm happy to teach you everything you need to know myself. That's if your still willing to work here" Moblit smiled kindly, holding his hand out to Mikasa.

"We're sorry as well, Mikasa been brought up by vampires and well, Carla only taught us the basics over a pack. We're still new to how everything works for a werewolf, we should have been more careful" Armin replied with a friendly smile as Mikasa nodded in agreement.

"I would still like to work here if you don't mind training me, maybe also teach me a little over the werewolf life as well" Mikasa replied, taking Moblit hand and shaking it as he gave a happy nod. 

"Well, welcome to survey corps, you can start tomorrow and well, I'll get some uniform shirt for you in a second. Meet apart of my pack, the eyebrow guy is known as Erwin, he's rather serious but he's a decent guy once you get to know him. The hyper lady who's ready to pounce on you is Hanji, sadly she's my girlfriend, she crazy but she's ... well, you get use to her. You might meet more of my pack since they sometimes visit while we closed or come here for lunch but don't worry, I'll stop any fights from forming" Moblit spoke with a kind smile, a caring look in his eyes as he spoke. Clearly wanting to make a better friendship with Mikasa and Armin now he knew they meant no harm.
