˗ˏ𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐒 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑 𝐓𝐎 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐑. That was one of the reasons Aurora preferred to stay silent and observe rather then go on ranting about things she had knowledge of or the desired to share her opinion with other people, her mind acknowledged that being silent was better then an over sharer.
By time she learnt that eyes have more emotions and truth behind them than simple words uttered by humans. Eyes never lied like the words that tricked her - she was aware of whether a person would be sincere or two faced only by a simple interaction such as eyecontact.
She adored the way eyes expressed everything and every emotion people were capable of feeling.
The clock was moving left to right creating audible sounds that wouldn't allow quiet to settle down. Her, Mikasa and Armin were quietly sat at a table surrounded by Eren's executives. Aurora had no idea of why she was there, she just remembered how Armin practically peer pressured her into coming with him then tried to gaslight her into thinking that she just wanted to tag along with him - however both of Mikasa and Armins facial expressions weren't so merrily like they were on a usual day-to-day basis. They lacked the happiness which she assumed was given by Eren's presence as he was basically the glue to their friendship and even a blind individual would be able to acknowledge that.
Along them, Gabi Braun was sat at the same table as them with a similar yet way more terrified expression then the both; everyone sat at the table were instructed to keep their hands on the table, visible to the eye.
Eren's bleeding hand was destroying the silky white ornament placed on the table, filling it with miserable and unclean blood. ''I just want to talk. Conflict isn't necessary to solve Eldia's problems. Hange and the others are fine, were just moving them.'' Eren's voice began speaking, yet his tone was so different and filled with hatred; he looked down, trying not to make eyecontact with either of the people surrounding him.#
''Eren, we're the ones who wanted to talk. What made you go attack Marley all on your own? Did Zeke and Yelena really talk you into joining them?'' Armin broke the silence, trying to read Eren and figure out what's the reason behind his actions, but he must've already realised that reading Eren is way more complicated than it seems.
''I am free.'' He said, causing Armin and Mikasa to appear confused. ''The things I do and choices I make are all decided by my own free will.'' Eren continued, not even bothering to defend himself or explain his motives. However his body language caught Aurora's attention and instead of trying to decipher his words she looked at every movement and tone he used - even inhaling and exhaling oxygen was a hard task for Eren to do at the moment, but no one managed to observe it at how good Eren was to hide it, he knew and did more than what he's letting on.
''So your actions after meeting Yelena were all you?'' Armin peculiarly asked. ''Yes.''
''No, you're being manipulated! You wouldn't get kids and innocents involved, even if they were enemies! Plus, I know you care about us more than anyone! Don't you? The reason you saved me in the cabin...The reason you gave me this scarf...is because you're kind..'' Mikasa vocalised, approaching her hands to the red scarf that was worn out and raising from her chair. Mikawa was furious, yet she wouldn't take her anger out on Eren no matter what - thats because of the love she had felt almost her whole life for Eren... she was surprised at his actions and not even Armin's deductive abilities weren't able to predict this.
