~~

Nyra was awoken when Annie had come in, giving her a slight shake. However, it was Mikasa who woke up first. Seeing Annie in the room set her off, as Mikasa made a quick grab for her blades. Annie looked up to see Mikasa, eyes holding a murderous glint. Annie, not having any gear, raised her arms to block Mikasa, but Nyra gotten up at this point, standing defensively in front of Annie.

"Nyra?" Mikasa asked, looking down at her friend.

"Mikasa, I promise. Annie won't hurt anyone. I know she did some things, but please." Nyra pleaded, while Mikasa looked down at her. It was either keep Eren safe, or spare her for Nyra's sake. Nyra slowly pulled the blades from Mikasa's hands, setting them aside. "I'll kill her myself if she does anything." Nyra added, turning to look back at Annie, who's eyes fell to the ground. Mikasa looked at Nyra, before pulling away to get ready. Nyra looked over to see Sasha gone, which was no surprise. The smell of food already flooded into the room. Nyra quickly got up to get dressed, while Annie waited at the door quietly. Finishing quickly, Nyra made her way over to Annie. Annie turned to look at Mikasa. "Sumimasen." Annie mumbled, turning to walk out. Mikasa whirled around to look at her, as Nyra and Annie disappeared.

"I can't be around with you this much yet. They still won't trust me."

"You can't even sit with us to eat?" Nyra asked. Annie shook her head. Nyra heaved a sigh. "Alright. Well, maybe around Lunch I'll come and find you." Nyra said. Annie nodded, as one of the members came to collect her. Nyra waved sadly to her friend, making her way back towards the Dining hall.

On her way there, a pair of arms wrapped around her neck. "Hmm. I wonder who this idiot is." she smiled. Jean gently flicked her cheek, before kissing the top of her head. "How are you doing with the whole Annie thing?" he asked. He knew Nyra was the only one with any last shred of trust for the girl, aside from Armin and Eren, who had mixed feelings on Annie's return.

"It's hard. It really is. Ryner, Bertholdt, AND Annie? They were my closest friends. They were also the reason for my brother, and many others deaths."

"Marco.." Jean mumbled quietly. Nyra turned, reached up, as a stray tear fell from his honey eyes. "Jean..." she spoke softly. He had lost his best friend, due to all three of Nyra's best friends. Jean shook his head, looking into the deep purple eyes of the girl. "I'm okay." he said. Nyra shook her head, gently pulling Jean down to her height, kissing him gently. Her eyes had been closed, but when they opened, she caught honey eyes open. "What?" she asked.

"They get prettier everytime I see them." Jean said, referring to her oddly-colored purple eyes.

~~Nyra's Flashback~~

"I hate them, Annie. They're weird." Nyra said, referring to her purple eyes. Annie shook her head. "I don't see why you're so against them, Nyra." Annie said, looking to her black-haired friend.

From a distance followed Jean and Marco. Marco encouraged Jean to go after Nyra, tell her what he thought, instead of letting her become captivated by another. "But what should I say to her?" Jean groaned. "She hates her eyes, but you love them, right? Tell her that." Marco said with a smile. Jean looked over at his friend, taking a deep breath, before nodding. He quickly walked over to Nyra and Annie, gently tapping Nyra's shoulder. Nyra and Annie turned to look back at Jean. Annie put her hand on Nyra's shoulder. "I'll see you back in the cabin's." she said, before turning and walking away.

"I... I j-just wanted to say your eyes were beautiful." he said nervously. Nyra had a genuine look of surprise on her face. "Really?" she said softly, a faint, faint blush on her face. With the blush, Jean grew some confidence. "Yeah. They're unusual," he started, "but beautiful."
