With Eren's situation squared away and the young man himself out of harm's way, there was at least a brief moment of calm, at least until the morning.  So, for instance, [i]now[/i]...people were taking their evening meal.  Speaking of Katherine, though, she hadn't shown up like everybody else, not at the same time.  In fact, it would be around the time Sara was finishing her meal that the light-haired lass would hear a telltale [i]rolling[/i] sound.  It was a distinct sort of noise.  It was big, heavy, and wood.  It was [i]almost[/i] like a log, you might say.  It wasn't a bad guess to take, even.  In fact, better than bad, it was good, because the [i]real[/i] answer was a loaded wooden barrel

In fact, looking over at the [i]source[/i] of the sound, one might say that it was a [i]powder keg[/i], except that it was labeled 'Beans'.

The propellor of this rolling container took a steady path to the kitchen to get her food, obtained the night's meal, and then actually headed over in Sara's direction to take a seat nearby, steadying the barrel with using some deft foot control before making use of the salt and pepper on her meal.  Kate Bellows treated this odd action like it was nothing.  Whether it was [i]actually[/i] nothing or not would require some probing, if one was up to it, because instead of explaining this business, the Brunette spoke thusly while enjoying her meal.

[color=f7941d]"I know the Elites didn't really take to the Titan-Shredders, since it doesn't mesh with their overall technique, but copies will be in circulation by the expedition, and I think they [i]will[/i] like the new weapon."[/color]

Or [i]was[/i] that an explanation?  Those probably weren't beans in that keg.  It was probably exactly what you [i]think[/i] it is in there, and that means that Kate was planning on firing something, blowing something up, or both.  The smirk on the girl's face said she was definitely looking forward to this.  Despite the length of the day and what they'd had to do, she still had the time and energy for mischief, it seemed.
