A few of us ended up stationed near Wall Rose not too long after that on standby. [In civilian clothes. Without gear. Bertolt still doesn't understand why, but it isn't as if there were any superior officers showing up for him to actually ask.
Things had more or less gone to shit after that too. Titans inside the walls, Utgard, him... It was a mess, and Bertolt still wakes up in a cold sweat at night when his dreams shift into nightmares about that night in the castle.]
...But, uh... Usually people end up appearing in one of the smaller towns. I was picked up by some of the others when I first got here. And I haven't seen Reiner at all since I was, uh... Back "home". [He'd be lying if he said he wasn't hoping each day that he'd show up.
Tilting his chin up towards the Torchic, the corners of his mouth quirk up in another little smile.] Everyone ends up with something like what you have, though. Mine wasn't that exact one. He's with me, but he's sort of lagging behind today.
[Usually his Arcanine is glued to his heels or his side, but he's guessing he has found a lot of interesting things to sniff. It's fine though, right? He's a dog. Dogs gotta sniff things.
The smile doesn't last long this time unfortunately, his thoughts drifting back to something she had said. I don't think you'll see me there again. It's ominous, and it's one that leaves Bertolt feeling uneasy and that sense of worry crawling back into the pit of his stomach.] ...Why won't I see you again back there, anyway? What exactly happened?
