When I woke up I found Erwin sitting in front of me on that dumb wooden chair. Kind of like when they interrogated Eren. I yawned and rubbed my eyes and realized I had no restraints now. Levi must have recapped what I said to Erwin and they chose to take my restraints off, though I was still in a cage. I smiled happily even though I was still behind bars and the bed was as hard as a rock. I was told I'd be taken to the capital with them for trial as well as the review of Eren's stay with the scouts. Erwin told me about how Armin had a theory and asked if he was right, I, of course, confirmed that the female titan was actually Annie. I sighed and held Petra's blanket closer to me until Levi walked in and I couldn't help, but smile. I wanted to thank him again for last night, but I had no time right then. I still had to be taken for the trial though unless Annie took the bait. I sighed as Erwin walked out and told Levi to escort me to the convoy. Levi clung to the bars of my cell. "Now, are you gonna behave?" I rolled my eyes. "No. I'm gonna rip everyone to shreds and change into a titan." Levi raised his eyebrow, "pretty sure the ripping people into shreds come after the Titan form. Right?" I scoffed and walked up to Levi at the bars holding onto the bars too. "Maybe I'm strong enough to do it in the order I said." Levi scoffed, "Yeah right." I fake gasped and then noticed his getup. I laughed and curtseyed, "How dare you, good sir? Shall I kick your fancy-clothed ass to prove that I'm not just a pretty face?" I laughed and Levi rolled his eyes as he unlocked my cell. He grabbed my hand aggressively and pinned me up against the stone brick wall. He kissed me and I went with it. I mean he was a good kisser, I wasn't gonna turn him down, especially not since I knew we both liked each other. We already had a few sorts of couple spats, but we got through it. I was thinking about how happy Levi made me until he suddenly stopped making out with me. "Now, will you shut up and get going?" I smiled. "Yeah after I get a change of clothes." Levi groaned and escorted me to my room. Once again, clothes were available but casual and with combat boots. Much comfier.


Levi opened the door as I was putting on the cashmere sweater. I turned around and smirked. "I may not look as fancy as you, but I'm dressed." I walked confidently out the door and was scared to go near the horse stables. Until I heard a familiar neigh followed by a yell. Calamity ran straight to me and nuzzled my head. "Hey, girl... I'm sorry I left you out there. Even after all the doom and gloom, you're such a beautiful horse. Aren't you?" I hugged her neck and the new stable guy came over rubbing his head. "Sorry if my girl ran you over." He stammered and rubbed his head more, "I-its okay, she seems to really like you. I think she was worried about you." I smiled and gave Calamity a pat on the head and gave her lead to the stable guy. I followed Levi to the convoy and we started our long procession to the capital. Levi and Erwin talked about the plan and I just thought about the amazing kiss with Levi earlier. I smiled and stared out the windows of the carriage we were in. Everything in the capital was beautiful. Damn shame it was wasted on the assholes who lived within Wall Sina. Elitists and MPs. They truly don't understand what the scouts do because they sit on their asses all day. Dumbfucks. Some of them I could respect, but most of them just fit the stereotype of people who lived in Stohess. I was waiting. I was sitting next to Levi and I was tense. Erwin was looking at some plans he had drawn up on paper and I held my breath waiting for the convoy to get stopped. Levi grabbed my hand and squeezed it, but didn't look me in the eye. Was he embarrassed or something?

I blushed a little and relaxed a little bit. When Erwin looked above his papers at us, I quickly let go of Levi's hand. 'Can't have Levi distracted even though he's hurt, this mission needs him.' I sighed because I also sort of felt like we subjected the commander to being the third wheel. I chuckled at the thought. I cleared my throat after the boys looked at me though. "Sorry..." I finally got impatient, "What in the hell is taking them so long?" Levi shrugged and Erwin looked at me, "The plan may take time, she may or may not take the bait. You are to stay with the captain so no one thinks they are capturing the female titan when she's really on the other side of the city". I groaned and slumped in my seat, bored with currently nothing to do. Levi gave me a look, "You saying I'm boring?" I rolled my eyes, "Mhm. Yep, definitely. Totally boring with your sarcasm and dumb shit jokes." Erwin smiled a bit and went back to reading his plans like a newspaper. Levi gave me this look like he was confused. I whispered, "I'm being sarcastic Captain. You're fine to hang out with... just fine though." I chuckled and Levi glared at me.
