Fourteen-month-old Elliot let out a giggle as he tried to grab the ends of the scarf dangling above him. Whenever he was about to clasp his small hands around it, the item would be jerked away from him, to which he found amusing.

"He really likes the scarf Mikasa made for him," Eren chuckled out as he continued playing with his son. Elliot was sitting in the hole that his cross-legged legs formed, and watched on as the baby kept trying to reach for his favourite object.

"Once he grows bigger, Mikasa would probably have to extend the scarf," Levi pointed out as he returned to the two seated on the grass. He handed over a cup of warm tea to his husband, settling down on the mat that was laid out. Eren thanked him, and let Elliot have a drink from his cup.

The Scout Legion was taking a break for the day, hanging out in the lands between Shiganshina and Trost. Some hung out back at the Headquarters, some went to the main trade areas of Shiganshina while the rest opted to hang around outside of town for some fresh air. In this case, most of the 104th squad trainees-turned-veterans, inclusive of Levi and a few others, were situated just outside of Wall Rose.

They hadn't strayed far from the gates for safety purposes, and their gears and weapons were well within reach. Stationary guards on the walls were still always on alert. Wall Maria had been reclaimed and most of titans between the two walls had been eliminated. However, a rogue titan -a term used for these wandering titans- would appear once in a while. They weren't sighted often, maybe one in a month or so. But it had been a good three months since the last sighting of a rogue titan.

Not that they were going to let their guards down, but everyone was relaxed on multiple levels. While some trades had to be transported by land for its quicker speeds, the Scout Legion took liberty of escorting these people.

Everything went well in regards to the safety of the walls. Hanji and her crew were enroute to solving the puzzle within Eren's basement, and the brunette let them be. After all, with five titans now on the side of humanity, casualties were kept to the bare minimum, and the Scout Legion troupe was flourishing with new members every year.

"Ooo ouch," Eren remarked as he watched Jean getting flipped by Annie some yards away. His friends were currently engaged in friendly spars... though with the competitive streaks of most of them, they were hardly considered friendly. Cue Jean getting swept off his feet, again, while trying to stand.

Armin, now Jean's fiance, laughed a little though giving a slightly pained look at the rough treatment. Reiner, the referee, called it Annie's win and the male blonde went to pick his partner up. The rest of the spectators were giving cheers to the winner, who adjusted her jacket and made the fight seem like a walk in a park.

"Jean may good at leading, but he sure sucks at hand-to-hand," Levi snorted, having caught the last few moments of the spar.

"Maa, with Armin on his side, they make the brains of the squad. Throw in the commander, and they're practically invincible."

"Pfuuuuu," a soft coo sounded from the small figure sitting in Eren's lap, and the latter wrapped the scarf loosely around Elliot's neck, knowing he probably wanted it back.

Levi shrugged. "I suppose we wouldn't have made it here without them."

The brunette gave a laugh, when his attention was stolen by Armin in the distance. He was waving a hand in their direction.
