Erwin Smith

"Perhaps we can make a deal." I commented, seeing that her eyes dilate from confusion and panic. I could see her thoughts spiralling, thoughts that we don't understand and only she does, spirals her into anxiety

You have got to deal with what you are dealt with, that's what it is to gamble. Everyday we gamble the life of every soldier entering the survey corp, we fight for the freedom of the walls that one day, our children and families will know peace.

This proposal has been abrupt, it's as if I couldn't let this girl have a panic attack just because she doesn't understand her situation-Although we don't as well, we try hard to understand-

"A deal?!" Levi eyed me with caution, he doesn't like that there's this girl that happened to be injured outside the walls. And that her injuries are too small to take into account that a Titan did that

"Oh, yes. What a wonderful idea Erwin!" Hange exclaimed, already beside the woman. Hugging her in delight, I could see the plans, questions and experiments she desires to do to this woman once she feels comfortable enough with us.

"A deal, what deal?"

The tone of her voice gained interest as she looked at me, her eyes relaying her utter joy. Perhaps she's thinking that there is a way to get home. I wouldn't know it though

"A deal?! Are you kidding me, we don't even know where this girl came from?!" Levi whispered, trying to subtly lean towards me.

"You help us with our situation, and we'll help you with yours." Ignoring the man beside me, I offer the woman's hand a shake a little ecstatic we get to have a new curious little person to help us

She looked at me suspiciously, I could see the cogs turning inside her head whilst she was being squeezed by Hange-she surely got comfortable with her that fast.-

"Okay." Muttering only that word, she clasps my hand in mine giving it a firm shake of the hand. Her hand feels soft and smooth, for someone who seems to be in battles her hands are like babies touch.

"I just help you get rid of these things called Titans, correct?" She questioned, still holding my hand looking up to me with no other emotion at all.

"Yes, and we'll help you find a way to get back home."

"Unbelievable" Levi sighed followed by an ecstatic yes from Hange who's now on the tip of her feet a mischievous smile tucked under her joyous one.

"How can she help us, she has no Special attributes, like Eren other than that sharp sword." Connie questioned.

"We need more people we can get, as long as they are willing to help us with our battle against the Titans." I replied emphasising her willingness to help humanity.

"Do these Titans have any similarity to the demons I fight back at a daily?" She asked crossing her arms with utter seriousness

"The Titans can regenerate, although it is slow. They can still move if you cut off their arms or legs or something like that." Jean answered for her, the girl nodded.

"Any weak points?"

"Only one, behind the neck, if we cut them there they would die for sure."

"There's also these people who control Titans, they're also located behind the neck. We call them Titan shifters because they can shift to a Titan." Eren added, the woman's facial expression turned to confusion.

"How will you know who to attack then?"

"There's a very large difference between a Titan shifter and a Titan who's just out there eating humans around." I replied, "you'll know when you see one."
