"I'll relay it to him, just let me know," Bertoldt repeated, shooting me a reassuring smile.

alright then

no need to be secretive about it

just a little something

"Let him know that in the future if he ever needs anything and I'm in the position to give it I'll help him." I paused, thinking for a second, "I know that this must make things difficult for him as well, I just hope that he can find someone who genuinely cares about him next time."

if that's even what he wants

we should both have the ability to choose

it's a shitty situation for both of us

"What if he asks to marry you again?" Ymir frowned, concerned.

oh please

"He doesn't care about me that much."

"He sent someone after you," she pointed out, pouting slightly.

"Only because he thought I was kidnapped- you don't have anything to worry about."

besides- i've runaway from a marriage once before

what's a second time?

it'll only get easier

"Is that all you want me to tell him?"

"If it wouldn't bother you too much I'd like it if you could let Gabi know that I wasn't kidnapped but instead ran away to go on an adventure," I couldn't help but smile slightly as I thought about her reaction. "I'm not getting married to Reiner anymore but the two of us should still stay close, I'll repay her for everything that she's helped me with when I get back."

gabi is a riot

"That's all," I hummed. "I think she'll be a little bit jealous, I wish I was there to watch her reaction."

"I'll let both of them know," Bertoldt tucked away the scrap of paper he had been writing all of that down on.

IM HONESTLY STILL SURPRISED TO SEE HIM HERE

"I can't believe you've been working for her fiance this whole time," Ymir grumbled, seemingly frustrated with how much the two of us were ignoring her.

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY

"I really didn't pin Reiner as the kind of person who would have the leader of a weird gang of thugs employed as his aide," I murmured my agreement.

how do i put it-

"Well you know Reiner," Bertoldt shrugged, not really offering any answers.

NO APPARENTLY I DON'T ??

"No?"

"What did you think of him Y/N?" Ymir latched onto my confusion.

"I just thought he was kind of boring."

I MEAN HE WAS JUST SOME DUDE IDK ??? THERE ISN'T MUCH TO BE SAID ??

"He's no-"

"Well I know that now," I cut Bertoldt off. "When was he going to tell me about all of this? When we were married? On my deathbed?"

KINDA FEELS LIKE SOMETHING YOU SHOULDN'T KEEP FROM A PERSON

I WOULDN'T HAVE SNITCHED

MAYBE I WOULD'VE STUCK AROUND ITS KINDA COOL

"It's a problem if someone let it slip that the Braun family which has ties to the police was also working with criminals," Bertoldt pointed out. "I doubt he would've ever told you."

wow .......

"I can't believe my fiance didn't love me....."

i honestly think that this is ruining my perception of reiner

"I thought you never had feelings for him?"

SURE BUT IF HE CARED ABOUT ME HE WOULD'VE TOLD ME

"I didn't, that doesn't change the fact that I'm pretty and smart, I deserve affection from people."

i deserve things for existing

"That's true," Ymir backed me up, nodding solemnly.

"Would you mind uncuffing me?" Bertoldt held up his hands, "I can't exactly deliver your message like this."

well you could . you just don't want to .

"Just have one of your people break the lock when you leave, I'm not taking any chances," Ymir muttered, rolling her eyes at him.

"Do you have more of those?" I gestured to the cuffs, "I'm sure Gabi would be interested in something like that."

i really just want to enable her

i think we should give gabi weapons and just see what she does with them

ill cover the damages

"Just who is this Gabi you keep talking about?" Ymir cut in before Bertoldt could get a word out.

oh right- i guess she doesn't know

"She's Reiner's sister, we're close," I explained, turning my focus back to Bertoldt.

i mean it doesn't even need to be handcuffs- rope would be enough

"I could but-" he hesitated, looking awkwardly at Ymir.

oh

"She doesn't know about your profession does she." I paused, "that's alright then, just relaying my message will be enough."

"Just how close are you to Gabi?" Ymir cut in again.

idk ???

"I'd like to think we were really close but I'm not entirely sure what she thinks about me," I couldn't help but feel shy as Ymir began to give me a deep probing look.

WHAT'S WRONG ???

"You were that close-" Ymir trailed off, her gaze falling to her hands.

WHY DO YOU LOOK SO DEPRESSED ABOUT IT ???

"Shouldn't you be happy that I have friends?"

i mean she's way younger than me but we got along at the very least

"You already have friends, why do you need more?"

HUH ???

"You mean Levi and Erwin? Wait why does it even matter- it's a good thing to be friendly with more people isn't it?"

IDK WHY THIS IS TURNING INTO A PROBLEM

"I guess but-"

"Ymir are you jealous?" Bertoldt leaned over the table, smiling slightly at her.

NO WAY-

IS SHE???

GABI IS A CHILD

"I'm not jealous," Ymir's voice wavered unconvincingly.

alright-

"Gabi is-"

"Enough about her, let's eat." Ymir cut me off dramatically.

ok-
