Grim ♊︎ Attack on Titan

Questions Unanswered

Grim sat in her office with Erwin reading and listening to what happened during their failed mission. Putting down the report she rub her nose and eyes, "Levi lost his whole squad huh?" She quietly ask. Erwin nod resting his own tired head against his fist, "I'm afraid he did." He let out a defeated sigh, "This is more stressful than I anticipated. She was so much smarter than all of us, the sacrifices she made trying to hide and keep her secret. It's astonishing." Erwin eyed Grim who only seem to be in a different world. "Grim?" He ask.

Grim close her eyes, "Sorry, just thinking is all." She lift the papers back up re-reading the reports from the Commanders and squad leaders. "I have to say I'm not at all that surprise." Erwin blink, "What do you mean?" He ask. "The Female Titan must've planned this for a long time. The whole timing was just to perfect if you ask me." Grim mumbles while carefully reading and assessing their next movement. "I say, she must have help from somewhere. The question is from who or better yet from where?"

Erwin didn't know what she meant,"Grim, what are you-" He was cut off by a knock on Grim door. "Enter." Grim said. Erwin was surprise to see who enter, "Mr. Arlelt. How can I help you?" Grim ask. Armin salute his superiors, "General Smith. Commander Smith, I-I have something I need to tell you both." Armin chocked but telling himself this must be done.

Armin kept his eye straight forward, having two powerful people attention was stressful enough. Having Grim focus was the most intimidating, neither soldiers have a lot of interaction with the General of the Scouts. Armin walked back and forward since he return from the expedition in front of Grim office. He finally took a deep breath and knock. Now here he was, there was no turning back.

Grim gesture towards the empty chair next to Erwin, Armin nod in thanks taking a seat. Erwin and Grim waited for the clearly nervous boy to say what he needed to say. Grim was patient with him knowing it take a lot of courage to speak in the presence of superiors. "Armin, what is that you need?" Erwin ask.

Grim smile knowing her husband didn't have the same patient in these situations, "Erwin, let him gather himself." She gently told him. Armin smile, "Thank you ma'am. Sorry sir, I'm just a bit nervous." Armin fidget with his fingers, "I came here, to say. I know who the Female Titan is." Grim and Erwin eyes widen.

The couple share a look than look to the young boy, "Armin. Are you for certain about the identity of the Female Titan. This isn't the time to make uncertain assumptions." Grim told him. Armin nod with confidence, "I'm very much aware of that ma'am. Trust me." He stare directly into Grim eyes, "I know I'm not wrong."

Erwin couldn't' help but to smirk at the young man courage, "Alright. Let's hear it Armin, who is the Female Titan?" Armin stare at the two, taking a deep breath he answer, "Annie. Annie Leonhart of the 104th Cadet Corps."

Levi sigh while drinking his hot tea, "What's the hold up? Erwin's never late he should be here. At this rate the damn MPs'll show up first." He pause taking a drink, "Maybe they're all takin' a shit. Duty calls right?" Eren chuckle at his Captain speech, "You're uh, sure in a talkative mood today." He states. Levi stare at the young boy, "So what if I am, doesn't mean I was talkin' to you." Levi took another sip of his tea, finishing the cup his leg acted up, he winced holding his injured leg.

Eren seeing the injured Captain felt the familiar guilt that is quickly becoming a familiar friend, "It's my fault sir. I made the choice, If I'd have thought this through none of this-we wouldn't-" Eren felt tears coming to his eyes feeling the lost of Levi Squad. "You made a judgment call, no one expects you to be clairvoyant." Levi inspirational speech was put on hold when the door finally open.

Eren stood up awaiting Erwin to enter, "Sorry to keep you waiting." Erwin greets. "Sir." Eren was surprise to see the whole 104th Cadet Corps entering the room, not only that but Grim was also with them closing the door behind everyone. Levi eyed Grim also surprise she was involve with this little meeting, 'Maybe it's not that little.' He thought.
