Eren dusted the gravel off his elbows and handed Zeke his telescope.
The sun was about to set behind them, they had been surrounding their castle for a couple of hours, and they were waiting for night to fall for them to invade.
"Ready, Mikasa?" Eren turned over to his friend.
She only nodded, her dark eyes narrowing as she stared at the castle from atop their hiding place beneath the tree-filled hills.
She was dressed head to toe in men's attire, Jean had helped her bandage her chest, and they'd even wrapped her face in a black scarf so that only her eyes could be seen.
When Eren went behind the tent in search of a dagger he found Jean leaning against a tree smoking a cigar and letting the smoke blow out his mouth.
"Suddenly everybody smokes those rotten things." Eren forced himself to laugh as he went to stand near Jean.
Jean stared off into the sky with a grim look on his face, after a couple of seconds of silence, he finally spoke, not even bothering to look Eren in the eye.
"Why did you let him send for Mikasa?"
"Jean," Eren began.
"No, there is no excuse. You know how dangerous it is for people to know how powerful she is. You know how people are. They would call her a witch, burn her at the stake!"
"You think I wanted this? You think I wanted to put her in harm's way?" Eren snapped back.
Jean took a deep breath before throwing his cigar on the ground and stepping the flame away.
"Well, now we're all heading in harm's way... God this almost feels like the first time went off to war together."
Eren chuckled at that. "How old were we? Fifteen?"
Jean nodded and took a deep breath before he spoke. "Do you remember that feeling when we were kids? Like you could swallow the world whole and come out victorious?"
