Bertholdt x Mikasa (BeruMika)

Nine

~Bertholdt's POV~

"Armin what the hell are you talking about?" Mikasa demanded

"Mikasa stop using the word " hell". Hmmph. ANYWAYS!! So I went by a few by a few books stores for you know--books. So then I roam around a few taverns where I saw a retired scout--he was drunk. Not retired as in pensions and such, but like he was done for the day." Armin was breathing heavily, his blue eyes were wide.

"Just get to the point." I whined.

"Waittttt, I'm getting there. Any who, I'm just there to buy some pastries that I saw through the glass. It didn't even look like a place that served alcohol-- not the point though! The thing is he was slurred and in his drunken state he could barely keep his mouth shut. Like he was spilling his keg, slurring and muttering horrible experiences about the death of friends and seeing titans-- I guess those were memories being bottlee up--"

"So basically the drunk idiot was telling secrets and the truth like a mindless child?" I cut Armin off. Sometimes he just rants and rants.

"Yeah! So I took advantage of this and I remember seeing his face from across the courtroom. He was next to commander/ Danchou Erwin Smith. His name is Oruo or Oluo--But I asked him what's happening with the Jaeger kid."

"So he just spilled the beans like that? Just so easi-- ugh Micah is tugging on Ana's hair! Be right back." Mikasa left and opened the glass door. The interior is pretty fancy.

"Continue Armin." I gestured.

"But yeah basically what Mikasa said, and that there are TWO titans captured and held down for testing by Hanje Zoë besides the fact that Eren is being recruited as a scout by Levi Heichou! Crazy right? I'm not sure if it's true but any things possible I suppose." Armin finished.

Mikasa came back inside with the straw people, I'm guessing she took them away from Micah as. Punishment for hurting Ana.

" They're fine now-- but what's this I hear about Eren and titans?" Mikasa asked quite surprised to my shock. Things don't usually surprise her which is off to me.

"I don't know much, I just know they're both like 5 and 10 metres. But the recruiting of Eren is so that Levi can keep an eye on him and to use him on there missions or whatever."

"But why?" I asked, why would they want to recruit a titan shifter isn't he seen as the enemy after all?

"I really don't know but he just knocked out onto my lap and I came running here and used my gear as fast as I could. Besides keeping an eye on him, there must be something more to go as far as to make him a scout on the spot like that." Armin makes sense. There gas to be more to it than just so called "keeping an eye on Eren."

"Eren finally got what he wanted." Mikasa said grimly. "Now can we feed these kids before they die of starvation?" Mikasa said getting off the topic.

"Oh right!" Armin jumped a little in excitement and put the sack of food onto the table I was leaning on. I got up and looked inside.

"Okay" Armin started. "I got half a pound of cheese, a loaf of white bread. I've never seen white bread before? I hear its great!"

"And some-- what is this?" I asked confused. There was some weird grass plant looking thing.

"It's called parsley and the seller told me its great with meat and starches-- so I also got 4 bug potatoes! Each big enough for one night!" Armin squealed.

"Sweet, how'd you afford this all with buying books and like 20£?" Mikasa asked just as confused as myself.

"Well since I was near the downtown part and most people were closing up, I suppose you get discounts for things that don't sell! 1£ for a huge potato was a deal for me!" Armin smiled and chuckled about it all.
