Petra feels excitement and fear run throughout her being as she spots the two figures, no three, she wonders which of the two is the shifter.
she can hear Olou scoff beside her.
"The boy needs his big brother, ha!" Having heard Eld speak about the boy and his older brother just before stepping outside to stand next to Petra.
"Be nice," Petra admonished as the company nears, she can faintly hear the voices of the two behind her silent captain.
"Can you believe it?" She hears the younger looking one speak with an excited grin.
"We're going to be out there! I can finally destroy all of them" she blinks at the intense ferocity coming from the boy, but her attention and everyone else's are drawn to the man beside, this Eren Yeager.
"Yes, we know Eren, I'm just happy I get to watch" the man's voice is not as deep as their captains but there's something in the strange accent that makes you unconsciously straighten your spine.
"Tch, shitty brat's, put the horses away" Everyone, but the strange man was startled by the abrupt holler of their captain, who had continued on and is now standing by the entrance of their new home.
"Oh, sorry, sir!" The bright voice of the boy makes Petra soften, she can tell by the boy's eyes that he's no threat to them, but she doesn't trust his power.
"Ah what about the horses?" Eren asks as he fumbles off the saddle, nervous in front of two scouts of Levi's squad.
"Tch, where do you think shitty brat," Olou speaks up beside her, his voice having the impression of trying to be deeper.
"Excuse me," the voice of the strange man makes Olou jolt, somehow forgetting about the man, not that Petra could say anything, as she forgot as well.
"Sorry, but I was wondering where the stalls were?" She doesn't know why she flushes under his gaze, but she feels like he knows her very soul.
Peeking at Olou she sees him gulp as he meets the eyes of the strange man, she doesn't see what he sees, she guesses as her best friend scowls and jerks his head toward the horse stalls before huffing and making his way towards their captain.
She gives them both a warm smile flushing as she receives one back from both of them, hearing Olou grumbling, 'about another handsome man to compete with' she can't help but laugh, not knowing she's the subject of his affection.
"It's alright, you're a great catch and any girl would be lucky to have you" she pats him on the back beocre continuing on towards their captain.
she doesn't notice him pause in his walk to stare at her with both amazement and frustration.

Eren sits down on wincing as the dinky mattress provided for them whines, hoping it doesn't draw attention to his person as he focuses on watching Harry, who is standing at the edge of their dungeon's cell.
"Is this really necessary?" Harry speaks after a tense silence,
"It's one of the conditions on allowing us jurisdiction over your persons, I apologize for the inconvenience, but for the greater of humanity I implore you to look past-" wherever the commander was going with that only he will know, seeing as Harry holds up his hand, which surprisingly stops Erwin, as he slowly closes his mouth, setting his face into a blank expression as he assesses the strange figure before him.
"For the greater good, yes" the tone in Harry's voice is blank.
"I've heard similar speeches from men similar to you, I do believe you're a good man, you're just willing to be a monster for your goals. All I have to say to you is the only reason I-we are even still here is because of him" Harry waves to Eren, whose eyes widen under their scrutiny, he knows he must look like a deer caught off guard.
"I do admire you, Erwin," Harry says after a second, he turns his head back to the two men, his gaze more focused on Levi as he finishes his sentence, Leaning his hip lazily on the bar Harry gives them a disarming smile.
Eren notices Levi twitched at the words.
"You don't move your words to your comrades, sure your reason might be a little white lie, but the hope, and fire you inspire is an amazing thing, you should use it more often, there's a whole mass of people just waiting for a voice to guide them." Harry's eyes glow faintly, Eren notices.
"What the hell are you going on about?" A frustrated Levi, finally speaks as he pushes off the wall.
Eren can practically hear the cheshire grin spread across Harry's face.
"Taking over the government of course." The statement would sound unreasonable to Eren if anyone other than Harry spouted it.
Levi give Harry a blank look, before scoffing "Tch, only you would come up with something this shitty"
"…I see" Erwin speaks up Eren sheepishly forgot about the man until he spoke transfixed on the by-play of Harry and Levi.
"Why?" Erwin asked simply.
"Why?" Harry repeats, "Well there's a few reasons, but the most important is, this is never going to stop until you dismantle the root of the problem"
"What can the scouts do?" Erwin asks, though his question is based on the little political power they wield, Harry answers differently.
"Fight" Harry states it so simply.
"That's what you do best isn't it?" The gleam in Harry's eyes is dark.
Eren shudders, he hasn't seen this side of Harry in a while, the last time it happen was when a man tried to proposition them for some food, Harry having just returned with a bag and a elderly woman clutching his arm, well Eren will just say a Titan would have been kinder.
"And the first fight is disobedience…so let's talk about rooms." Eren feels his head steam from the slamming of his head onto the wall, as the true reason comes to fruition.

Tugging the leather closer he can't help,but shiver, the vast ocean before him is beautiful, with the sun beaming down onto the vast blue.
"Cold?" The voice of Zeke makes Sirius look behind his shoulder to see the blonde peeking out from the cabin of their boat, currently sailing towards the devil's Island.
"No, I'm fine, just…" his voice fades as stares out towards the direction he knows Harry is, wondering what is in store for them.
"Just tired" he finishes lamely, but truthfully.
"I can understand," Zeke states as he leans on the railing beside him, staring off in the same direction, his own family on his mind.
"Are you sure you don't want me to try-"
"No, I've come to peace with this, besides soon this fate will be washed away, and hopefully the world can move on and find some semblance of peace. That's all I have now"
Sirius wants to tell the man who reminds him so much of his dear friend Remus, that no one deserves to feel like they shouldn't exist, but from experience knows only he can change his mind set. Instead he just pats the man on the back before retreating to his bed, wishing the wait for Harry would end.
Glancing back he shakes his head at the stubbornness of his friend.
A/n: Sorry for the short chapter.
I hope some Sirius action helps.
Harry isn't a merciless killer…yet(kidding)
But I feel with being the master of death and his temperament( example him trying to crucio Bella- I like expiring a more grey Harry.
Hope no one is ooc, or too ooc.
If you have critics of suggestions, on the story of just general improvement please let me know.
I want to edit the whole thing but I'm too scared to hate what I previously wrote
