[center][h3] Jade Stone [/h3] Mentions: [@Jinxer] [@FrostedCaramel][@LetMeDoStuff] [/center] Amongst the million questions and thoughts circling the girl's head, Jade didn't object to being pulled away by Emil. Instead, she went on without really thinking about where she was going or what she was doing, all she could think about was the fateful day that the colossal titan had destroyed her home and taken her parents from her. She could hear Lauren's voice directed towards her but she could not break out of her reverie to focus. It wasn't until they had arrived at their headquarters when Jade finally broke free and caught up to reality. The first thing she heard was that they would be breaking off into groups. The young woman eagerly listened to her name, only to have her heard falter a bit as she heard that both Lauren and Emil would be in a separate group from her. The two that she felt most comfortable around would be taken away from her. It would only add to her worries, which made her spiral down into a bit of a panic. Her green eyes quickly made contact with Emil's, feeling hopeless in any attempt she could make to try to keep her friends with her. With a deep inhale, the girl turned to Lauren and watched as her friend took charge. [i]'I should be doing that too. I need to do that,'[/i] she thought as she tried to push away the fear and anxiety. Throughout the entire training she had been nothing but angry at the events that had happened in her life, yet when the time came, she was frozen in fear. The young woman exhaled as she gathered up the courage to walk over to Grant, as quickly as possible. She gave him a small, sheepish smile as she approached him, her voice a bit shaky before she composed herself, "Kind of a sick and twisted irony isn't it? That monster appears again and here we are, together. Let's hope this time neither of us needs saving."
