"Whoever that titan is, probably works with the traitors in the regiment," Ezra theorises as I shrug.

"Sure," I reply.

The others are talking uselessly about traitors, Eren, bla bla bla. All I want to do now is to know how Megumi's doing. He's in this world, all alone, and I don't know what he's doing with his cursed energy. Eh, he'll be fine, right? Afterall he's Toji's son.

".........once you've all reached my level of expertise.."

"Look we all get it, you like to pretend to be Captain Levi. But that's not how he sounds like." 

I mindlessly absorb Oluo's bragging and Petra's constant denial. Perhaps this is what sanity is like. To be around real people again, regardless the situation.

"You think the commander was right to leave us out of the loop?" Eld asks Eren.

"Actually if you see it from his view, would you think we'd agree to risk all these lives? Making that choice on spot seemed more likely." Everyone's attention is now on me. 

"You've got a point there," Eld says. 

"Maybe," Gunther adds. 

"Still doesn't justify his actions. What if the female titan escapes?" Ezra asks in a grave tone.

"Lighten up Ezzy, there's no room for being pessimistic!" I pat his back lightly as he cringes and steps back.

"You'll come to know in time, just like all of us did, why Erwin Smith was entrusted as the commander of the survey corps and the future of humanity."

"Or why someone as cagey as Captain Levi trusts him."

Levi. Trust. Sounds like an oxymoron right? 

"That's right. Live long enough and you'll understand the weight of it," Oluo says and I snort. 

"You sound like an old man." Oluo furrows his brows. 

"You deadweight brat-"

"I am not deadweight, atleast I don't look like one," I say smugly.

"There she goes, flaunting her looks," Ezra satirically says. I elbow him playfully, earning a yelp of pain and irritation. 

"Don't wait for me to decorate your path in pink and white rose petals. Survive the journey home and I might be persuaded to respect you. The mission isn't over. Not until we're through the gates. Do you understand?" Eren looks sullen with Oluo's scolding. 

"You can save the petals part for your wedding Oluo. That is, if you make it alive. And he doesn't need your respect," I say with a smirk. Oluo glares daggers at me. The others are trying to hold in their laugh. 

"Watch your tongue, rookie. And you certainly will never earn my respect here" with that he looks at Petra covering her mouth. "The hell you laughing for?" 

We get moving.

"Oluo, Petra. I gotta hand it to ya both. For someone who wet themselves first time out, you've come a long way!" Eld says and me and Ezra burst out laughing. Atleast Eren's got restraint. Or respect. 

"Ahh!" screams Petra in embarrassment. "I thought we'd agreed to never speak of it again!"

"Woah, seriously?" Eren asks curiously.

"How dare you! I have the highest kill count of anyone on the damn sqaud. Argh, imbecile!"

"You wanna hide that stain behind your kill counts? Be my guest." I like this Eld guy. He's funny. And he too, doubts before following orders in this squad.
