TamaraFinally! My comrades and I managed to recruit new Eldian heroes and immersed them successfully in their position within Marley's government. If we're patiant and our steps were calculated the resistance wouldn't fail again! Soon we'll have eyes and ears everywhere. The only thing that bothers me was the safety of our folks, in particular my brother and Eren as brutal death await for those whom fall within the grasp of Marley.
We held a small celebration, which was my idea, to sheer up our comrades and at the same time I thought it was a good shot to start a conversation with Kruger...
Eren Kruger...What a man! He ignited my interest with his deep, calm personality. He was unlike anyone I knew before. Despite he says no much or interacts smoothly with others, I was able to see the depths of what was inside him... Whenever I looked into his eyes, I saw a mighty strength and wisdom that I had not seen in anyone before.
Although he doesn't realize it, I draw from him all the enthusiasm and determination to fight. Deep down, behind his expressionless face, I have a feeling he is caring compationate person, but also there is buried pain inside!
Since he began his mission, it seems clear to me another type of suffering is awaiting for him. Despite that, he committed to his task fully.
I scanned the room carefully for Eren. When I found him, he was standing in his usual way; his back against the wall, his weight on the right foot while folded the left one. Hands were crossed over chest while His face was so calm and lips in straight line. Although Eren eyes were watching everyone, I believe he was deep in thoughts. I was charmed by his dark blond hair, which he keept neatly tucked behind his ears and was moving elegantly by soft breeze...
Suddenly, he turned his head to the right towards me, his firm eyes met mine... Although it was a blink of an eye, I swear he looked into my soul, sending goosebumps through my body. Damn! Did he feel me overseeing him?
He stood steadily while his tall well-built body taut. He headed towards the table to grape a glass of wine then left the room by a halo of mystery.
Amazed at his reaction, I rushed immediately to Damir who was talking to him previously.
"Brother, is Kruger okay? He looks unhappy like he's thinking of something!".
Damir was surprised for a moment, he smirked then put his hand on my shoulder "dear Tamy... hold on ! What happened?"
"Kruger...he doesn't usually left meatings and we have just started partying!"
"Hey little one...I see you are concerned about him".
Heat spread into my cheeks. So, I looked down quickly at my hands "Sure I am! It's my duty to care for him, same goes for others"...
Damir silenced for a sencond then said "Listen dear..a man like kruger has a heavy load due to his mission and rarely shares what he feels with others..."
I cut him "So, he had a situation today?"
"Kind of..." his eyes were down.
"I understand...but, he doesn't have to go through this alone. I'll talk to him"...
As I turned around to leave, Damir reached for my wrist first. I faced him, awaited for what he would say "Tamara! I am very proud of you! I had no doubt a gentle person like you who cares and feels for others will support a man like Kruger".
I smiled softly "This is the least I can do, it's nothing compared to what have you done for Eldia. I will follow your steps to death!".
Damir eyes felled with deep sadness hearing my statement. He took a heavy breath "Tamy, my plane for you involve keeping you away from danger.".
"Your plan for me!!" I raised my left eyebrow.
"I want you to live happy normal life! Thats why I refused your request to join us at first, so please..."
He paused for a second when he saw how much I was shocked by his words. Damir patted my hair by his hand gently. He looked into my eyes and saw confusion "listen dear! You are too young...I won't allow you to die brutaly! I have two missions, the first is highly dangerous and it probably will cost me my life, the second is securing your future!".
Suddenly Young male voice interrupted our conversation "Dr. Damir, Ms.Tamara...sorry to interrupt you!"
"Oh Peter, never mind I almost forgot..." He smiled at Peter who was blushing "Tamy excuse me, we'll talk later..." he gave me warm hug then left with the man.
Certainly will cost my life!...Securing my future! What the hell does that mean? What was my brother thinking of me! His words made me drown in sadness and confusion. Wave of thoughts swept through my mind so much that I stood still for several minutes in the same position. Finally when I came back to my senses, I remembered Kruger. I was exhaled deeply and headed towards him.
Finding Kruger isn't hard, he prefers well-ventilated rooms with large windows overlooking stunning view where sky appears large and wide! The only one with these qualities is located near the meeting room, it also has a small library as well as a piano...
