[sup]Current Location: Wall Rose, Trost District - Interacting With: Gabriel, Mary & Jakob[/sup][/center]

[color=FFD967][b]"Tanner Harwell, reporting and awaiting assignment, sir."[/b][/color]

[color=gray]Her words were lionhearted, yet the cadet's tone had been coated in a bittersweet melancholic glaze.  It was difficult for Tanner to describe her relationship with the Colossal Titan; the massive fleshy beast invoking different feelings each time she thought of it. The cadet felt rage and anger upon her parents' memory being invoked by the Colossal Titan, but on the other hand, Tanner was oddly thankful. The large Titan that stood on the other side of Wall Rose had changed Tanner from a person of mystery to a stouthearted and gallant warrior. The same creature that brought humanity to its knees years ago had made Tanner realize that there was more to life than what she focused on.

And as Tanner moved back into the crowd of cadets, one of those cherished came face-to-face. Gabriel took her hand, wishing to give his beloved something. The taller cadet's eyes stared with stronger than intensity than before, flushing Tanner's face red as Gabriel stared almost deep into her soul. His words were unsettling, as if Gabriel knew his father was most likely dead and that he was likely to die soon as well, but in the end the ring was something of importance he wished to give Tanner--the boy reassuring the girl with a simple smile and forehead peck.

Looking at the ring in her hand, Tanner was unsure of how she felt, but the cadet was certain of one feeling. Love had swept her off her feet, shining bright like the ring that now rested on Tanner's ring finger.[/color] [color=FFD967][b]"When's the ceremony, Gabriel?"[/b][/color] [color=gray]Tanner whispered gently into his ear, standing on her tip toes to reach his height. Almost teasingly, Tanner stealthily placed a kiss on Gabriel's lips, watching him grow flustered as they turned to their superiors. If both or one of them were going to die today, what was the harm in having some fun to remember the other by?

Moments later, their superiors began to talk of the situation at hand. Trost was slated to be breached, and mere seconds after the superior spoke, crashing was heard within the district, as it did when the Colossal Titan appeared in Shiganshina. Everyone had froze, but the haste was quickly renewed, and orders were continued to be given. Tanner took hesitance to the idea of delaying the Titans, where the veterans had the wall to their advantage to maneuver out of the way from the Titans' reach. Tight quarters and city fighting was different than training in a forest, leading to a possible bloodbath of inexperienced recruits. Still, despite being one of the strongest in the Cadet Corps, it wasn't her place to object or question her superior's orders.

Although with Gabriel, Tanner had been placed in a group with two cadets she had little knowledge of.[/color][color=goldenrod][b]"M-Mary Gardner! P-Pleasure to m-make your a-acquaintance!"[/b][/color] [color=gray]The girl stammered out as if she was frightened of the future. Placing a fist over her heard, Mary awkwardly saluted while the taller one rolled his eyes, arms crossed with a huff.[/color] [color=olive][b]"Jakob."[/b][/color] [color=gray]The cadet spoke, almost staring down Tanner as if he had something to prove. His eyes for filled with unsettling envy, and Tanner tried shrugging away the awkwardness that came from Jakob.[/color]

[color=FFD967][b]"Tanner, and this is Gabriel."[/b][/color] [color=gray]Tanner explained, introducing both of them to the other cadets. Both of them had performed particularly well in certain categories, and Tanner wouldn't had been surprised if either Mary or Jakob knew or heard of them. Turning her attention back to Gabriel, Tanner looked at him not just as her beloved, but as a confident commander, sure of his abilities.[/color][color=FFD967][b]"Do you have any ideas on how you want to go about this, Gabriel?"[/b][/color] [color=gray]Tanner asked, expecting an answer from Gabriel in hopes of formulating a plan before they went into battle. Mary, too, looked up to Gabriel for an answer albeit nervously, yet Jakob appeared as a rabid mutt, ready to lash out at any thoughts or ideas Gabriel might have.[/color]
