Garrison unit basement Trost 14th October 843

A month passed and there wasn't a day when Theia didn't think of Furlan or Isabel. But as the time passed, the amount of the thoughts of them lowered, disappearing into a nice place of her memories. She wrote out the last lines of the weekly report and returned the pen to its place with a soft smile. She cleaned her desk, took a small package and cheerfully left her office. She knocked gently on the next door where she entered right away. She could meet the kind gaze of her superior.

"Well Miss. Theia, you look absolutely stunning! I wish I could be at least thirty years younger!" He complimented her appearance. Scanning with honest awe her figure not wearing a uniform today, but a long, flowery dress.

"I'm here for you even if you're old enough to write your last will already," Theia teased the old man, placing the weekly report on the table. Pixis poured himself the glass of alcohol which he offered her. She politely declined. "Not today, Commander. I'm going to my father's birthday party, I can't go there drunk," she giggled and quickly turned to leave.

"Ah. It's Erwin's birthday today so bring him this present from me." He handed her a bottle of premium whiskey. She sighed, but accepted the gift. With a quick step, she walked to the carriage, which will take her back to the scout regiment after a whole month.

She jumped out of the carriage, not hiding her smile. Before entering, Ilse, her good friend, was waiting for her. She, Ilse and Lynn shared a room together during training days with the soldier.

"Holly walls, Theia, you look like attending some snobby party at Mitras!" The brown-haired, freckled girl was teasing her. They embraced each other.

"You know how much I hate that uniform," Theia answered honestly, using each change to throw military clothes aside.

"I always thought you just didn't belong in the army," Ilse added with a gentle smile and opened her diary showing Theia the new knowledge she had gathered behind the walls.

"And I thought only Hanje was crazy," Theia laughed listening to her stories.

"Don't you think it's important to know your enemy? And by chance, a new unit of scientists is being created, which will be devoted to the research of titans, and Hange will be their leader. I'm looking forward to joining the team," Ilse dreamed aloud and Theia rolled her eyes.

"Well, well. How are you otherwise? What about Lynn?" She tried to move to another topic not including titans at all.

"She's doing great. Your father took her to his unit. Rumors said that it will be an unstoppable unit. We will see, in three weeks. We're going on the last mission before winter," Ilse stated seriously.

"Are there any more supplies missing?" Ilse nodded to Theia's question. The work of the scouting unit is not only exploring the titans and their territory, but also collecting materials, crops, raw materials or hunting animals that are only found outside the walls and are important for the population. Before winter, the main task is to ensure the supply of food, fuel and furs for all residents.

Theia and Ilse walked together towards the main building. Theia held a bottle and a small package in her hands, which she hid with her body. Her dress and hairstyle attracted attention. She walked quickly into the dining room and instructed the cadet who brought her in to unload the food and drink she had brought from the military garrison from the carriage. Hanje, Nanaba, Lynn and the rest of the scouts were finishing details before the celebration. Mike was tasked with holding Erwin back.

Everything was ready and waiting only for her father to arrive.

"So..." Theia's eyes scanned the faces of familiar people around.. "I guess he is not here..." She hasn't seen him anywhere yet. But she had a feeling in her gut the right place to look for him as she started to walk the familiar path to the second floor balcony, where she leaned to the stony wall again.
