HIMARI CLAPPED A HAND OVER HER MOUTH, eyes widening after the involuntary cry of Eren's name had left her mouth. She scrambled up off the ground, pushing herself onto her knees at Yelena's feet and watched as a burst of bright, orange-yellow lightning filled the air. Himari cursed quietly under her breath when she saw the Attack Titan appear in all its familiar glory, the sight of it causing Himari's heart to skip several beats in her chest, leaving her feeling dizzy and breathless in return.
Her eyes slid from Eren's titan's face towards the sky, which had become littered with several, large airships and her cheeks soured at the sight of the familiar Marleyan aircrafts. They had finally arrived - the war had finally arrived.
She pushed herself slowly to her feet, thickly swallowing the saliva that had built up in the bottom of her mouth as Marleyan soldiers began to fall from the sky like rain.
She cursed again.
Suddenly feeling extremely exposed without her ODM gear or her harness around her body, Himari took a step back with every intention of turning and fleeing the scene in order to find some kind of gear she could use for the time being. She stopped, however, when a hand wrapped itself around her upper arm, causing her to look up at the person who had grabbed her. Yelena looked almost crazed, with how wide her eyes had become. Her face was pale and her pupils had dilated so wide that her irises looked black.
"I'm sorry, Himari, but it's best you remain here for now."
Himari's eyes narrowed and she curled her hands into fists at her sides.
"Let go of me," she said in a dangerously low tone. The craze on Yelena's face, however, only increased before she gestured to the battlefield before her. Pieck had taken a dive off the side of the roof and had transformed before she hit the ground, just as the Jaw Titan had taken a flying leap at Eren. Crimson blood flew through the air, splattering the cracked, white stone that had filled the air with clouds of dust as a result of the attack.
"You are in the safest place you can possibly be right now. It's too dangerous to be going off on your own," she replied, almost breathlessly. Himari tugged her arm from Yelena's grip, her chest heaving as her gaze flickered between her face and Eren's titan. She licked her dry lips, which had become bloodless from both fright and downright terror at the realisation that her hometown had become a warzone once again. Despite how badly she wanted to run inside to find ODM gear of her own, Himari couldn't bring herself to look away from Eren - not when she knew that he, along with her, were Marley's main targets.
She watched from beside Yelena as Gabi climbed into the Cart Titan's mouth, which closed around her before Pieck turned and fled in order to find some safety for the girl before all hell broke loose. The Jaw Titan had temporarily receded, giving them a fleeting moment of uncomfortable stillness where both Himari and Eren turned towards the airships on the horizon that were headed straight for them.
