[He better not get banned from them just because small creatures become colossal creatures or Annie will go kick the police or something.

At least she trusts him, so it's no problem to her when he is coming closer. Even if everything here is still weird too, including that she is out of that crystal just like this and people can talk to her again.]

Ah, I haven't heard anything from most of you since that day either...

[But she has heard of some classmates or other members of the scouting division as those words hopefully make clear to him. It's a little risky to say that here but well, she doubts anyone is listening. Besides, she doesn't really need to keep some things as secrets anymore. Not where she's from... But it's not like she's going to tell anything to most people..

Six months? Here. Does time back home work like it works here or has it been more or less time ... Half a year away from Reiner sounds like forever to him considering how they're always together everywhere. ]

... I don't think you'll see me there again but I guess I'm here now. Haven't seen Reiner though. Do people always just show up here out of nowhere?

[ Sorry Bert, she hasn't been through mom's house or New Bark or ... well, anything. Suddenly she is just here with some annoying baby chicken, who is trying to drive her insane (not that she has ever been sane or has she??) even though she'd possibly like a weak starter like that if it wasn't so fucking noisy and annoying.

Annie shrugs. ] I wouldn't think you'd lie about this.

[But this is still some really crazy and weird shit. Probably still much better than home once people get used to... Even though it is way too easy for most places to be much better than their home world.]

A few of us ended up stationed near Wall Rose not too long after that on standby. <sub>[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.]</sub>

...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". <sub>[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.]</sub> 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.

<sub>[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.]</sub> ...Why won't I see you again back there, anyway? What exactly happened?

[kickstodeath]

[ So, that's why they are during that day. She looks thoughtful hearing that as if she might have a guess or two about why they'd be there besides wanting to make sure they stay alive while everything goes to hell elsewhere. ]

...So what does appearing somewhere else mean? [ Weird. Not that she'd feel any better about appearing somehow in any place when there's no way just anyone can get her out of that crystal. ] Maybe he'll show up too. [ Maybe this is like a new beginning. ]

[Annie glances at the Torchic, who looks like she likes Bert a lot more than some scary girl like Annie, please and thank you. At least it's quiet for the moment. ] I don't want it, so you can keep her too.

[ Maybe she'll see his starter too. No rush, let the dog do his sniffing before he gets here. Meanwhile she will never admit it but she likes seeing that smile while it lasts because well, at least he seems to be doing well here unlike they are back home...

And then she has to ruin it with that. ]

...

[ She's quiet for a long moment as if she's suddenly mute. Should she tell? Should she lie? Not that she wants to lie to those two, but some things are better to keep to herself. It would... probably be better for them if she doesn't say anything about that either. It's not like she usually speaks at all. Then again if she doesn't tell him, no one else probably won't tell him anything either and they probably should know to be careful out there... Annie swallows. ]

I... Had a little fight with a few people about what happened in that expedition...

[bertall]

Keep her with you. It's a little safer that way with all of the wild ones out here.

<sub>[Not that Bertolt doesn't think that Annie needs to be protected, it's still nice. And it's easy to get overwhelmed if it's a swarm and in some cases there can even be some pokemon bigger than a human being out there. Case in point, his Arcanine. Though he's never heard of a wild Arcanine before.

He kneels down in front of the Torchic and offers his hand out for it to sniff at, and once he gets its approval, he moves to scratch behind the tufts of feathers on its head. Should he get one of these too? He's going to get one. Plus, Bertolt thinks, having some extra (literal) fire power is never a bad thing. It may put him at a type disadvantage against certain gyms, but there is just something appealing about having that sort of ability at his beck and call. And, well...

It's comforting.

Hell, it's partially why Bertolt usually keeps his Arcanine out and in the open. Having the extra warmth surrounding him whenever he wants is very, very nice.

His smile falters a little, but he tries to keep it going.]</sub>

...How bad of a fight?

_{[Will he ever get the chance to see her? Or is she...?]}
