It took a moment of intense not-blinking to convince Mikasa to calm herself. Many people had died today, annd so it was more than a little understandable that Mikasa's protective attitude towards Eren would come out. She knew these three almost as well as she knew each other. In a situation like this, with Eren caught in the middle of trouble, this is where they would [i]always[/i] be. Still, something in the way Kate was trying to copy Mikasa's intensity must have seemed genuine and trustworthy to her, because she relented, and allowed Sarah to give a hand. A quick look around followed, to make sure nothing was trying to grab them, and then up they went, straight to the top of Rosa. As they did, Kathherine couldn't help but look down at the area of the now-sealed gate, which had originally been where the Colossal Titan sent his fateful kick. She saw- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [i][b]"I'm broken, sweetheart... Couldn't move if my life depended on it."[/b] [color=f7941d]"Then, lemme take you somewhere they can fix you!"[/color][/i] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No no no! Shut up! [i]Shut up![/i] This wasn't like back then! Things are different now! They can fight! They can kill! The Colossal Titan failed! The Colossal Titan... Where WAS the Colossal Titan, anyway? OR the Armored Titan? They were gone again, vanished just as quickly as they arrived. You couldn't get away that quickly. You just [i]couldn't[/i]. Someone would see where you went, but those two seemed to appear and disappear at will...and boy did they [i]have[/i] will. The only one that might've had even [i]more[/i] than that was Eren, followed closely by Mikasa. Who was it that sounded the attack and charged the Colossal Titan as soon as it appeared? This boy, the one now resting atop the wall where it all started. Katherine looked around...then had to blink rapidly. [color=f7941d]"Agh...how does she do that thing with her eyes...?"[/color] Honestly, all that intense staring, just to get Eren up a wall where it was SAFE! That [i]hurt![/i] And the [i]sun[/i] was still out and she didn't have anything to keep it out. No [i]wonder[/i] Aunt Hange wore those glasses. She must've gotten eye-strain [i]all the time[/i], just like her own mother! So, cue Katherine irritably rubbing her eyes for a moment, thankful that there was no sign of [i]another[/i] Colossal surprise today, before turning to face the others and pulling out her diary and pen. To be fair, this was not her original diary. Even after drawing and writing small in the original one, she had long ago run out of pages. This was Kate Bellows' Diary the 7th! She found an empty page, put pen to paper, and said... [color=f7941d]"I want to know [i]everything.[/i]"[/color]
