[color=Gray]They were tired.  It was clear in the sagging of their shoulders, the drooping of their eyelids, the slowness of their responses.  There were on the battlefield, though, and there were still Titans dangerously close to them even if the Scouts were steadily demolishing them.  He sympathised, they were fresh soldiers, green behind the ears and in their first ever conflict with the Titans.  Even if they had encountered the Titans before it was another thing to have to fight them, to head towards the predators and come out the other side victorious, against the odds, than to simply escape the monstrosities.

[color=0072bc]"Come on, let's go."[/color] He said decisively, stepping forwards and turning to Jaeger, held firmly in the arms of the female of the trio.  She had an air of capability and he suspected that she was the ace of the most recent batch of Cadets but right then she was an obstruction, clinging to the unconscious boy.  [color=0072bc]"There's no time for this, we need to get you to safety."[/color]  He lifted Jaeger up bodily, heaving the boy's limp form over his shoulder and out of the girl's grasp before turning towards the Wall and firing his hooks upwards into it.  [color=0072bc]"Don't forget what's going on around you, no matter what's right in front."[/color]  He shot upwards, reeling in his hooks and speeding up the Wall face, emerging onto the broken Wall top.

The tracks laid down only a year or two ago after much conflict with the worshippers of the Wall were torn up and destroyed where the Colossal Titan had swept the top clear, scattering debris everywhere and leaving the occasional bloody smear against the stone surface.  Julius turned back to face Trost, watching the others scale the Wall after him and the battle carrying on below them.  He saw the flutter of Captain Levi's cloak, a flash of blades and the bright red splash of a Titan's blood arcing out of its pierced nape and was struck, once again, at the small man's finesse and skill.  Possessing no small skill himself with the Gear he had never managed to keep up with Levi, losing his control and focus at higher speeds although he was able to pull off some truly stomach-churning manoeuvres where others might baulk at such difficulty.

[color=0072bc]"Should we wait for Erwin, Sara? He probably wants to talk to the lad before the MPs get their hands on him."[/color]  He turned his gaze along the Wall to where he could just about make out large groups of Garrison soldiers standing above a crowd of Titans clawing fruitlessly at the Wall, unable to reach their prey.  [color=0072bc]"They'll be here before long, now that the fighting's all over."[/color][/color]
