Palette #03

Mikasa kept an eye on the surroundings as they rode on. Jean was right, titans had the alarming ability to appear in an instant. If any were to show up, it could be at any time. The sky was a brilliant blue, reminding her of peaceful days staring up at the sky with Eren and Armin. Within the walls, it made their small world feel even smaller. They longed to follow the birds that fly freely over the walls, to the land beyond. She turned her attention back to the other riders, trying to assess whether formation was staying in place or not. As helpful as it was arranging themselves in optimal positions for potential encounters, it could easily go to hell in the blink of an eye. The formation seemed to be intact, which indicated that nothing unexpected had occurred so far. However, relaxing wasn't an option. During every other excursion beyond the walls included dealing with titans that crossed their path. So far none have been seen, or at least none were reported. The feeling of uneasiness only grew. When she glanced back at Jean, she was surprised to see him leaning back casually. Surely he too sensed the uncertainty of the situation. She gave a sigh and continued watching the area in front of them. The lack of titans could mean two things. Either they aren't in this immediate area, or they were drawn to something, meaning a large number in one area. But where? Several moving shapes far ahead along the horizon caught her eye. One seemed taller than the others, but there was no mistaking what they were. Mikasa grit her teeth and reached into her pouch to retrieve the flare gun and shot a round into the air. The colored smoke followed along its path, reaching high into the sky. Hopefully someone will see it and relay the message. She quickly stuffed the flare gun back into her pouch, and urged the horse to move faster. "There's titans ahead. Be careful!" she ordered, giving a serious glance over to Jean. As the horse led her further ahead, increasing the space between her and her partner, heavy thuds were heard behind them. She turned her head in time to see a tall abnormal sprinting towards them. Its ugly face held a wide grin, and its hands flailed wildly as he raced toward them. Despite the handicap from being outside the walls, Jean was the best at using the 3D maneuver gear. She knew that he could take the titan down quickly, and she would be able to rush ahead to take care of the group before them. "Take it down!"

When Mikasa saw Armin begin to cry, her protective instincts kicked in. Armin was a special friend to her, and the sight of his tears caused something to stir inside her, along with a concerned expression on her usually composed face. She lifted a hand as if to comfort him, but decided against it and allowed it to fall to her side. Armin always tried to pick himself up on his own, and her consolations would only make him feel worse. Instead, she gave him a small smile and spoke softly. "Want to go to the library? It may be outlawed out there, but in here, you could read all you want."

that’s it, that’s the whole show

"No, nothing is wrong." Mikasa replied with a shake of her head, "I came across a library here, filled books. I looked inside, and you won't believe what I found." She held the book carefully and flipped it open for him to see, turning page after page of vivid imagery and personal descriptions. "This came from the library. Remember the stories you told? About the outside world, the landscapes that lie beyond the walls? It appears that the books about the outside world are kept here, in HQ."
