She’s staring up at the ceiling again , green gaze drifting somewhere far away . She’d been that way a lot since inheriting the Attack Titan hardly a week ago - and she'd mostly isolated herself since unless it was imperative she show up ... Something in Kaja had shifted in a way she didn’t expect , and she wasn't quite sure she could explain it to the others . Were they the same way ? There was doubt in her heart - they all seemed so comfortable and full of purpose . She felt like she was the only one constantly questioning hers ...

A sigh follows as she finally tears herself away from the ceiling , head lolling to the side lazily as it hangs off the side of the bed . As she does , she sees a figure just outside of her doorframe come into view .

Porco ?

“ Oh , it’s you , “ She almost sounds surprised - talk about a rarity . Her legs are propped up against the wall , but slide down so she can force herself to sit up and pay attention . She realized she hadn't seen much of him ( or anyone to be fair ) since she'd inherited the Attack Titan .

" And what're you doing skulking around my room ? Finally remembered I existed ? " She teased , stretching her arms over her head in a yawn .

" No need to rub my nose in it , "

She's panting , hands on her knees as she stares at her feet . Once she straightens herself out , she runs her hand across the bridge of her nose . ' Scratch ' was relative , she supposed , compared to what they were used to . It certainly would leave a mark , though .

Part of her couldn't help but feel foolish - she'd never been very good at hand to hand combat . She had the strength and the intelligence , but something just wasn't connecting when it came to practicalities .
