"Aren't you going to thank me? I just saved your ass back there."
She questioned in a 'matter of a fact' tone as she glance down at the small boy besides her feet.
"I don't have to thank you."

In Lev...

A round of lighting was heard striking the ground. The familiar loud sound slammed me out of my thoughts. I peered over my shoulder, looking at the trees as they fell onto the floor. Causing the earth to grumble.
"So that's the off putting feeling I felt earlier."
There was nothing I could do now. I sighed, shifting my attention back in front of me. Steering my horse to stay with the group. If Erwin saw me trail off without his order my ass would be dead. I hate to admit it but I was silently praying that Levi was alright. Holding onto my reigns, I continued to ride out of the forest in full speed.
It didn't take as long as I thought it'll be to get out of the forest of giant trees. Hopping off my stallion, I passed the reigns it to a underling. Dusting off my hands and stretching my limps from sitting for so long. I walked towards Mike, who hummed when he saw me and passed me a small smile. I nodded in acknowledgment, standing besides his towering figure.
It was quiet between us. Just the sound of Erwin yelling around and telling what people should do with the dead bodies in the background. With nothing to occupy my mind, I kept traveling back to earlier. Worry had clouded my mind. I just have to wait for Levi to come back with his squad. It was taking longer then normal though. I sighed, biting the inside of my lips as tension rises.
"You saw the lightening earlier, right?"
"Who would miss it. It shook the ground Mike." He nodded. Placing both arms behind me on the empty wagon. I leaned back with a frown. "It seems like Levi squad is taking a longer time then usual."
Mike senses my worry and chuckled, "Don't worry they would be fine. They have humanity's Strongest on their side." He stopped and sniffed the air. "I smell three people coming our way."
Just as Mike said it. The leaves of the trees rustled as three people flew out. Mikasa with a passed out Eren joined in with Levi. Realization settled in when I realized that the others weren't here. I took look at Levi's face, it was rather empty, a void of emotions. Mike nudge me forward and walked away, not before giving me a sad smile.
I frowned, watching Mikasa take Eren's passed out body into a empty wagon. Frowning even more when I saw was Levi walking with a limp. Strolling to him, I grabbed onto his arm and brought it over to my shoulder to allow him to use me to stabilize himself. He couldn't bring himself to look at me, so he chosen the ground to look at instead. Still in a state of denial, at the lost of his squad.
I knew the bond they had built together was great, better than he could get with any other person. Even if he was a bit too harsh on them, he had his moments with them. There are some where I can't even replace.
I sighed, ruffling up his dark locks. He blink, looking around us. As if he was suddenly released after getting hypnotized, a frown appeared on his face. Marching towards Erwin, the blond command shot him a questioning gaze.
