Porco: alright reunion over, ok annie you're back come on we got a war to win
Annie: no, I'm not going back
Porco: sure we can just- wait, what?
Bertholdt: annie?
Annie: hm? I said I'm not going, I'm done fighting for marley, no more, I'm not fighting for a government that doesn't give a shit about me
Porco: but it's not about Marley
Annie: certainly feels like it, I can't do it anymore
Bertholdt: but annie your father
Annie: I know, i thought about it, if I go back and refuse to do whatever they want he'll be in trouble, it's better they think I'm dead
Porco: we're warriors, we endure, we always endure
Annie: endure for what? We endure unfair treatment for more unfair treatment
Porco: we endure for our people, I could care less about Marley but I'll endure, I'll fight under them if that what it takes
Bertholdt: ...
Porco: bertholdt I know you feel the same
Bertholdt: ...
Annie: you guys go, I'm staying here
Bertholdt: I do feel the same as you porco....but its annie, I'm not going back either
Porco: ? Wait a damn minute, you owe me, I've been here fucking helping you colossal titan, what about your people?
Bertholdt: ....I'm sorry porco
Annie: bertholdt you don't have to stay, go help our people
Bertholdt: annie....I'm sorry please don't ask me to, I can't
Annie: why? I thought our people were important to you
Bertholdt: they are but... over the years something else has become more important, I think it's safe to say, even more important than my own life
Annie: what's so important you'd give up your life?
Bertholdt: isn't it obvious by now? It's y-
*Suddenly two titans appear seemingly out of nowhere, one of which close enough goes to grab for annie, quickly bertholdt gets in front of her and pushes her away*
Bertholdt: back to the cave!
Annie: bertholdt!
*Now in the way bertholdt is the titans new target, porco appears in titan form and slashes off the arm of the titan reaching for bertholdt, quickly slashing it's nape,quick to jump to the other slashing horizontally the titans middle in two, as he partially exits his titan he looks at Annie and bertholdt*
Porco: alright, time to go
Bertholdt: porco, if annie's staying then I am too
Porco: ..of course you are, well Im not, marley isn't gonna like this, don't be stupid Bert
Bertholdt: I'll try not be, sorry
Porco: dammit! What's wrong with you? Both of you
Annie: no porco
Porco: you know it's gonna be trouble now, zeke will come for you, I'll come for you
Bertholdt: i understand
Porco: did you hear me?
Bertholdt: then let their be trouble
Porco: really? Huh, would reiner be the same and stay back?
Bertholdt: ..i dont know, i would hope for us he would....but...im Bertholdt and this is me doing this
*At that porco scoffs turning around running off in the direction of Marley*
Annie: lets chase him
Bertholdt: no annie you're tired, stop
Annie: he's going to get zeke and if he does then we'll be dealing with more of them
Bertholdt: yes but you need rest, thats more important right now
Annie: what? Don't be stupid, im going
*Bertholdt quickly appears in front of annie blocking her, she threatens him with a cold glare, he should be intimidated, he usually would be but he feels different right now, he never thought he would miss the way her eyes stare daggers at him, he smiles*
Annie: what the hell are you smiling about? Move Bertholdt or ill move you
Bertholdt: ..its nothing, just thinking....show me, annie
Annie: huh?
Bertholdt: show me how you're going to move me...its been a while since we did hand to hand combat
Annie: dont you act like you're better than me
Bertholdt: oh, i mean im sure you'll try, but if you're to weak to you can always say no and, bow to me, i mean
*Bertholdt says with a smile , he knows annie wont let her skills be insulted, she's trained her entire life, although no one would know by looking at her she takes pride in her precise kicks, the only thing her father taught her, she wont let anyone undermine her skills, especially not Bertholdt*
Annie: what?! Bow to you? Bertholdt? Hell no! Dont patronize me! You of all people
*annie rushes at Bertholdt striking fast and hard, Bertholdt blocks and dodges*
Annie: you think im weak dont you, is that why you worry about me so much? Because you think im nothing?
Bertholdt: ....come on annie, you can do better than that, cant you?
Annie: ok Bertholdt
*keeping Bertholdt on his toes annie throws her punches, she spins giving him a hard kick to his side with so much force he can feel something crack, falling to his knees in pain he looks up to see annie breathing and exhausted, annie reaches out her hand to help him up, instead he pulls her down catching her*
Annie: wh-what?
Bertholdt: now you have no choice, you have to rest
Annie: you, is that what you were doing? You wanted to tire me out
Bertholdt: it worked?
Annie: ....it worked
Bertholdt: i got you good didn't i?
Annie: i got you better, how bad is it?
Bertholdt: broken bad, good thing im a titan
Annie: good thing?
Bertholdt: ...no...no its not a good thing
Annie: we could be killing porco right now
Bertholdt: or you'd be to wore out to defend yourself and eventually fall
Annie: so you don't think im weak?
Bertholdt: annie did you really believe me? you're the strongest Person i know, and i know eren has the founder titan
Annie: then, why do you care about me so much?
Bertholdt: .....a-annie....
Annie: is it just because we're friends?
Bertholdt: ......y-yea
Annie: hm ok, we both should rest now
Bertholdt: y-yes rest, rest is good
