By the time she heard the response of Kate, who seemed to have reacted to her rather troubled answer, in a way she couldn’t quite pinpoint. Sara had to look away from the light of the sky, and towards the brunette, who stood only a few feet away from her, although the lieutenant could still see her clearly in the moonlight. She seemed to have understood where she came from, but then, Sara still felt that she should elaborate on what she meant. However, something stopped her from doing so: Judging by Kate’s body language and the way she was talking, perhaps in the brunette’s mind (if the elder wasn’t mistaken), it was something to [i]purposely[/i] forget, rather than circumstance alone. Now, it was Sara’s turn to be largely curious. 

[i]’Did something...tragic...happen for her? Besides the destruction of Wall Maria?’[/i]

Said-woman narrowed her eyes at this thought, having to keep her gaze upon her, as the brunette continued to speak. Having to sit down from where she stood, the platinum-blonde had to give herself a moment to think about what she just heard. Nobody in her life had ever made such a comment, although she did remember the man named “Kenny” saying something reminiscent to that, all those years ago, while he was showing her how to survive in the underground city. She herself has been trying to understand the mysterious backgrounds of her family. Her mother didn’t say much of herself, and she never knew her father, except the fact that the mother of cadet Armin Arlert was her cousin, leaving him as Sara’s second-cousin. 

There have been many theories and rumors surrounding about the Ackerman family; tales that they were “warrior-kind”, that they were above that of an average human. By the time she started training with Levi, her physical attributes were reminiscent to his own, having a lot higher level of willpower and strength, than that of any other soldier in the force. Mikasa also showed signs of these same abilities. It made Sara wonder whether if Rosa, or her mystery father, may hold the blood of an Ackerman; if all three of them fell under this bloodline, together; if they were even related. That was what she had to guess, anyway. It confused her, all the same. 

[color=00aeef]“To be honest, Kate, I’m not too sure, myself. Growing up, my mother didn’t speak much to me, of our ancestors, or if I have any other relatives, other than Armin, from her side. She mentioned about him only once, and yet at the same time, I didn’t know Levi even existed. He [i]may[/i] be a potential relative of mine...from my father’s side, but I truly don’t know”.[/color]
