Ymir: So that's it?
Hours of hunting and that's all you got?
CS: Other than a bag of edible mushrooms, yeah...
Ymir: We foraged the area for enough food to last a week, but we're supposed to all eat a single little rabbit?
SB: Not exactly...
[Sasha reveals the 2 above average hares to the group]
EJ: Hare?
CS: Big ones too...
MA: Sasha, how long did you have this?
SB: Hey, hey!
I'm not stowing food away from everyone...
I spotted them while we were foraging.
Managed to get within range an then...
๐
Caught them while they were mating!
ES: Barehanded? Without any trap?
LA: Even I couldn't do something like that.
[Christa recalls the time a hungry Sasha leaped several meters to snatch bread from her]
CL: Sasha definitely can...
AD:๐ญSasha definitely can.
Ymir: Wow! Nice catch Braus.
Didn't even need a weapon of any sort to get meat on the table.
MA: Excellent work, Sasha.
SB: Thank you.[She grabs the small hare] Now, give me a few minutes and I'll add this hare to the stew.
AD:๐ฃ๐Couldyou save me some hare liver?
[She subtlety nods yes]
[While Sasha got to preparing the hares, Christa served out the green salad with bread, oil & vinegar]
ES: This is a surprise.
LA: A welcomed one for sure.
JK: You sure this is safe to eat?
CS: Looks alright.
EJ: *Chew* Hmm...
Not bad, actually.
AA: I'm back.
What do we have here?
CS: Looks like some sort of salad made with wild greens.
CL: Would you like to try some Armin?
AA: I would.
Thank you Christa.
*Munch*
Mmm!
This is really good!
Not to mention refreshing.
SB: Don't fill up on bread and salad, because I just put the finishing touches.
[After all serving was done, every had eaten salad & had a hot bowl of stewed hare w/ vegetables in front of them, all except for you of course]
ES: So, Ms. Braus.
I'm sure you're eager to go hunting tomorrow, but due to wolves spotted in the area, I don't think it's safe if you go in a small group, so we decided to just accompany you with everyone else.
I know it's not ideal, but it's for safety precaution.
SB: Damn...
I can live with that Command Erwin.
CL: Oh!
Sasha, we almost forgot about dessert.
Men: Dessert?
SB: Oh yeah!
Well, I sorta experimented with some fresh berries we found and a little something else...
And, well...
I guess we had a little...Inspiration.
[The Gnome Gelly was served to everyone, except you, but Sasha saved a piece]
LA: Whatever this is, it's delicious.
MA: The flavor & texture is nothing like I've ever tasted before...
CS: It kinda melts in your mouth.
Ymir: There's still intact berries...
CL: Yeah, some of them burst in your mouth...
[After most of the people left for bed, you & Sasha were there, picking at the leftovers]
SB: Damn...
As good as that tasted, it wasn't quite as filling as I'd hoped it'd be...
AD: There's only so much meat you could get off of a handful of small game.
The chicken was a nice touch though.
SB: Speaking of meat, here's some of that hare liver you asked for.
AD: Thanks.
SB: Wait! You're gonna eat it raw?
AD: Yeah.
Dwellers can eat food in any condition, unlike you weak-gut humans.
SB: We can eat raw food too, we just need to be careful about it.
AD: Mmm... These hares ate good...
HZ: Excuse me.
AD: What do you want?
HZ: I was wondering if it'd be alright to run a few tests on you. Maybe write down a little of what you can do.
Don't worry, I won't do anything too intrusive.
AD:*Sighs*
Fine.
[To Sasha] If I'm not back in an hour or two, come for me, please!
SB: I'll bring the others for backup.
[Reluctantly, you went with Hanji to her private quarters, where you sat on her work desk, poking, prodding & taking measurements on your little body]
AD: And that's how my telekinesis works.[You conclude, moving some loose currency in the air]
๐ถ๐
HZ: Ah... So you need to touch something physically to move it with your mind?
AD: Not necessarily...
Touching it just helps me hone in & focus in to move it.
HZ: Ah... So is that how you moved the rubble?
AD: Yes & no.
Since the rubble was primarily stone, I used geokinesis to move it.
Telekinesis is more for individual objects & objects outside of the magically kinetic materials.
I could show you if you had a rock or something like that.
HZ: Well, I do have this...
[Hanji took boots off, then tipped one over at you, causing a pebble to tumble out, then resting her feet on the desk]
AD: Uh... I guess this'll do...[Using geokinesis, you were able to not only move the pebble in the air, but mold it into whatever shape you desired like it was clay.
You settled on making a hammer fit for your size]
HZ:๐ Amazing!!
AD: ๐Uh, how long was this pebble in your boot?
HZ: I want to say...
2 weeks.
AD:๐ฑ 2 weeks!?
No wonder it smells so pungent!
HZ: Hey, my feet don't stink that bad!
๐ฃ๐ถ[Hanji put her odorous feet on either side of you]
Do they?
AD:๐ฅ...
HZ: You don't look disgusted, or grossed out, so maybe you like the smell...
AD:๐ณ...
HZ: If so, I would be very grateful for a little massage, little guy.[She flexes her toes]
๐ช๐ข๐ข๐ข
ES: Hanji? Could we have a talk?
HZ: Oh crap!
AD: Hey, what are you-
๐ฃ๐ถโคต
๐ข๐ข[In a desperate act to hide you, Hanji pressed her bare feet onto you, adhering you to the bottom of her right foot, then slipped them into her boots]
HZ: Of course!
[You shrank down to be somewhat more comfortable trapped in her boot, hearing two sets of footsteps enter the room]
ES: I just wanted to discuss a plausible theory I had with you and Levi.
HZ: Huh!?
Theory?
LA: Let's hear it.
ES: With the discovery that Eren Jaeger has the ability to shift into a Titan, it's made me consider that he's not only the only one, but the others were involved in a plot to destroy us all...
Starting with Shiganshina.
It's possible that there's a collection of Titan Shifters banded together to wipe humanity as we know it off the face of the Earth.
HZ: I never even considered something like that as a possibility...
LA: You mentioned "Humanity as we know it"
Do you suspect that they may be associated with people beyond the walls?
HZ: If they even exist that is.
EJ: We can't rule out the possibility that such people exist...
As for why anyone would want to wipe us out, nothing solid comes to mind.
HZ: That's a good point...
We also can't rule out the possibility that they could be anywhere, or anyone...
Well, at least anyone without a solid history...
LA: So...
What are our orders, Commander?
ES: For now, we'll stay here until we have a solid plan of action.
We'll get out of your hair, Hanji.
[With the two men gone, Hanji quickly took her boots off, looking to not find you on her foot or in her boot]
Hanji Zoฤ: Aiden? Where are you?
๐ฏIn here!
๐ข
[You grew back to size & clung to the boot cuff]
HZ: Ah, there you are.
I guess we'll have to cut this little discussion short, since it's so late.
You know...
You could always sleep with me if you want.
I'll let you sleep anywhere...
And I mean anywhere...๐
AD:๐...
๐Hahahahahahahaaa...
๐Not in a million years, ya quack.
๐[You disappear from the naked eye]
HZ:๐Rude...
...
[You wash off the stink quickly and were about to enter the women's barracks when you realize that they might not be comfortable with the idea of a male resting in the same place as all of them.
You had to approach this delicately, so you enter stealthily to see their current status.
Fortunately, they all seem to be about ready to sleep, so you knock on their door, using your illusion magic so that only they could hear it.
๐ชโฉ
CL: Huh?
AD: Down here.
๐๐
โฌโฌ
๐ถ
CL: Oh! It's you, Aiden.
Hanji finally let you go?
AD: Finally.
She nearly got me exposed to Erwin & Levi, so she had the brilliant idea of hiding me in her boot.
CL: Eew!
AD: While she was wearing it.
CL:๐Eeew!
You poor thing...
๐โฌ
๐ถ
You know, you could always sleep with me tonight.
[You could sense the animosity & see the look of murderous intent in Ymir's eyes]
AD: I appreciate it, but I'm a fableman of my word.
CL: Fableman?
MA: I thought you were a dweller.
AD: The terms are interchangeable.
If you want to get technical, the term dweller refers to those of my kind that reside in human architecture.
Those of us who reside completely removed from human society are referred to as naturemen or naturefolk.
Even though I don't live in a dwelling with constant human occupants, I'm still considered a dweller.
CL: So, you're really okay with staying with Sasha then?
AD: I am.
I have my reasons.
Ymir: You'll be lucky if she doesn't gobble you up in her sleep.
SB:๐กYmir!
Ymir: Don't act like it's not a possibility.
AD: I'll be fine.
[With the women getting ready for bed, Sasha lets down her hair, laying in bed with her head on her pillow, with you set on it, adjacent from her beautiful face]
SB:*Yawn!*
Goodnight Aiden...
๐ด
[You use her loose hair as surprisingly good bedding]
AD: Goodnight Sasha...
Goodnight, ladies.
[The others said their good nights before settling in for sleep]
