So Mun just breezed through the manga....(Christa from Attack on Titan)

[reiss]

 There's got to be an explaination, mun. She wouldn't try to hurt me, not ever.

....I just want to know why she didn't fight them. If she could turn into a Titan already....she could have fought them! But...she didn't. 

She always has a reason. I know she has one now.

[forchrista]

If anybody tried to hurt you, I'd kill them.

[ Yeah, she knows what Christa's talking about. But she's serious. She'd kill before she let Christa get hurt. ]

[reiss]

I know, Ymir. But....you know everyone thinks you're on the other side, right?

[forchrista]

[ There's a looong drawn-out silence as Ymir can't bring herself to look Christa in the eyes.

She scratches her chin.

Yup. Still not looking Christa in the eyes. ]

[reiss]

....

[She looks at her, desperate.]

You aren't, are you?

[forchrista]

[ All right, she'll spare Christa a glance now. Just to show she's serious about it. ]

We're using each other. I have my own goals, and I'll keep using them for as long as it suits my needs.



...The only side I'm on is yours.

[reiss]

Ymir, my side is the one you just dragged me away from!

Please....I just want you to be safe....I want us to be safe. All of us!

[forchrista]

Don't you get it? The only person I care about keeping safe is you!

[erenskeeper]

[...]

We'll see. [or not. Speculation is pointless at the moment.]

[reiss]

She is! She'd never hurt anyone that I like.

[erenskeeper]

That's not reassuring, Christa. [that's still a secondary, lesser objective, surely]

[reiss]

Then what do you want me to prove? Just...don't hurt her!

[erenskeeper]

[blink.

Ymir by herself? Probably nothing. Bert and Ernie? That's another story altogether. Ymir seemingly siding with Bert and Ernie? Yeeeeah, that's gonna be complicated.]

Nothing. There's nothing you can prove.

[it really hinges on what Ymir does to Eren]

[reiss]

.....Ymir just wants me alive. That's all.

[titan_hunter]

Sorry Christa. I couldn't land a good enough hit on those bastards before Ymir made her choice.

[Honestly who knew you couldn't properly punch with a stump of a hand?]

[reiss]

It's not your fault...I'm sure you must have been tired after fighting the other two...

and adding the icon keywords put the default pic on the comment...

[titan_hunter]

That's still no excuse. Here I am with the bastards who killed mom and everyone else. And I couldn't do a damn thing.

[Christa you are truly a saint!]

aw, Eren.

[reiss]

Eren, please don't beat yourself up about it. I think you'll get your chance, if that helps.

[titan_hunter]

[When she says it like that he can honestly believe it.]

Yeah you're right. But now everyone's there and in danger.

[Though honestly all the doubts and guilt mongering isn't gonna help seeing as he's knocked out and gagged and tied up. Just like a princess. How embarrassing. Mikasa was right after all. Though he'll die before admitting that out loud.]

[reiss]

They're all really capable, I know. I don't understand, though....why did Ymir just take me and not everyone else? She could have had us ambush them, couldn't she?

whoo I'm late as heck

[sweatsprofusely]

No point.

[ To fighting them. What's the point? ]

[reiss]

She had no point in fighting you? Or no point in trying to find a reason?

Because there's a point to both. I will not stay with you guys....I'll fight.

[sweatsprofusely]

The first one. She knows why.

You'll... get hurt. [ And if you get hurt then Ymir really will fight them, so it's in their best interest for you to stay safe, Christa. ]

[reiss]

I don't care. I signed up to be a soldier.

[sweatsprofusely]

[ Bertolt's eyes may or may not show a hint of contempt at that 'soldier' remark. ]

...Ymir does.

[reiss]

She's not my keeper, you know. I will do what I need to do.

[Oh, did she strike a nerve?]

I won't comply with whatever you want, anyways. I would never side with you two.
