"MIKASA!!" Isabel squealed as she pulled mikasa into a big right hug as soon as Mikasa hopped down from the bed. 

"Shh, do you want us to get found out over her" Levi snapped back, they were lucky they could let Isabel hang in the barracks until it was time to head to dinner. They couldn't risk someone rushing in and catching them with Mikasa.

"Oh right, sorry" Isabel whispered guiltily, letting Mikasa go and rubbing the side of her neck as she stepped back.

"It's good to see you again, how have you been? No one made trouble for you, did they?" Furlan smiled like a big brother, patting Mikasa head as he spoke.

"Everything with easy and smooth, still is" Mikasa answered without skipping a beat, sounding like she was giving a report then replying to a worried friend.

"Good to hear it, god .. has it really only been ten days. Feel like a lift time but it's all good now we back together" Furlan smiled sweetly, pulling Mikasa into a brotherly hug and lifting her a little as he did.

"You didn't mention about the old man?" Levi spoke up with a slight smirk from where he leaned on the wall by the bunk bed, earning a glare from Mikasa.

"You make it sound bad, he was a nice old man who helped me" Mikasa shot back with a frown, giving Levi a warning look. Furlan raising a worried eyebrow before looking to Levi for answers.

"He's a lonely old man who lives by the path to the camp. He gave her a place to sleep, food and clothes just to keep her as company" Levi added as Furlan started to fill with even more worry over Mikasa time while they were stuck on the job.

"Aww, it's good there are still good people out there" Isabel said with a friendly smile, holding her hands together.

"He lost his daughter and his granddaughter within two years. The rest of the village pitied him and won't speak with him, I talked to him like he was human, something people haven't done in a long time it seems. He was thankful and just a kind old man, nothing more and nothing less. Levi is just being wired about it" Mikasa sighed as she crossed her arms, feeling Furlan overprotective gaze on her.

"Promise?" Furlan asked as he held out his pinkie.

"Promise" Mikasa answered, wrapping her pinkie around his. 

"Still having a word over this later, if he was just a nice old man or not. Didn't we give you the strangers chat before, I've sure we told you to keep away from shady people" Levi huffed back as he crossed his arms.

"Levi, Mikasa is old enough to look after herself. She did just trace us down over these ten minutes and didn't actually leave our home until a week after we left meaning she made good time in finding us. Just be glad she arrived to us safe and alive" Furlan replied like a caring mother making Levi roll his eyes.
