"I quit."
A simple phrase indeed, and one uttered without much emotion at all, but it spoke volumes. Exodus was splayed on the ground with an empty expression on his face, as if he didn't care. In the way of things, he had been learning how to ride a horse should the time come where he'd need one, but they were just untrustworthy spawns of the devil. Each time Exodus made an attempt to better himself, he only ended up looking quite foolish when he fell flat on the ground.
It wasn't something that he was never taught, but rather, something he could never grasp. Exodus was naturally a loner, so working with somebody was beyond him...working with a beast was even more difficult for him to take advantage of considering how poorly he acted. He stared blankly at the sky before sitting up and dusting himself off. He'd much rather prefer sleeping on the ground than trying to master the art of horseback riding.
"This isn't even a vital skill." Exodus was simply bitter at his lack of skill rather than attempting to learn something that may save his life. Each attempt ended the same way...he could balance himself fairly well, and he could keep himself still on a moving object, but he was often throw to the ground out of what he assumed was spite.
He wondered if his father was any better than him, or if this failure was simply a genetic defect engraved in to his blood. As impossible as it sounded, Exodus couldn't think of any other reason for not being able to keep himself off the ground...it had to be something's fault besides his. He wasn't normally one for giving up, but really...once he was able to use the equipment he wouldn't have a problem getting around. Of course, that was just an excuse to stop learning...certainly, there were people that could teach him, but that didn't mean he was ever going to master it, or even like it.

Anastasia looked up to the clear skies, thinking about how just outside these walls, monstrosities lurked and wandered. What on earth had created such massive beings, why do they look so much like us? And for what purpose do they seek in consuming mankind? They pay no heed to the animals, nor do they obstruct the nature around them. How are they born? How do they reproduce? Do they even have genders? So many questions wrapped around her head, and she couldn't think of a single answer to any of them. So little is learned about these Titans. If only they could capture one, just one, and then if they allowed they would let her study them. She could learn just about anything, by being told only once. She's read as many books as possible pertaining to the subject of titans, and that wasn't even much to go on.
Sighing she leaned forward stroking the neck of the horse she had been riding. We should probably head back now. she sighed riding the horse back to the stables. On her way she noticed Vincent laying on the ground. She had known that he had been trying to ride a horse for weeks now. No matter what he did the horses wouldn't have it, and toss him off. She thought it was pretty sad to watch. She meant to stride past him but thought otherwise.
Vincent. she greeted riding his way. You'll make a sorry excuse for soldier if you expect to join the Scouting Legion without learning to ride a horse. she said rudely. It's not hard. Even a peon like you could learn if you apply yourself. she said with a smug smile on her face. Maybe if you get on your knees and beg, I'll be willing to give you a few pointers. she said devilishly.
She really hadn't meant to be so mean, but as far as she knew this was the best way she could reach out and help people. She honestly didn't know why it was so hard for her to be nice. She really wanted to help him though, and she'd be willing to if he asked. What's it going to be then peasant? she asked.╚══════════════════════════════════════╝

Exodus stared at Anastasia, his words flowing out in a cool tone. "Continue mocking me if you dare." Exodus replied, standing up and narrowing his gaze out of anger. His words were painted with obvious malice, and that stupid smirk on Ana's face made him feel like kicking her horse in the stomach to see how fast it ran. Exodus turned his back to her and started to walk off, but froze when the words started to sink in. "What's it to you where I end up...at least being dead is preferable to conversing with you."
Exodus obviously didn't have an alternative to his lack of skill, but what was there he could do about it? He was running through different scenarios in his head, but each one of them seemed to be more convoluted than the last...they'd really only cause trouble for him and everybody else. Anastasia was right about him being poor for the job, but she shouldn't have to care. Exodus didn't do what he did solely for humanity...or even the military. His reasons were more selfish than that.
"I'll hitch a ride with somebody who actually knows how to control that Satan Spawn before I beg you for anything." Exodus turned back around, the glare he was giving her a second ago was still clearly there. If she wanted to help, it wasn't like he could turn her away and learn on his own after all the time he'd been doing this. Still...he wished there were a better way than relying on her of all people. That stuck-up...conceited attitude was just something that bothered him to no end. Yes, he'd rather be dead than talk to her, but there wasn't anything he could do about that.
Instead of complying with her 'demands,' Exodus walked back over to Anastasia, as brazen as he'd like with his own attitude. In the way of things, he'd much rather reach up there and teach Ana a lesson...more so by pulling her cheek to a similarly ridiculous proportion to the way she was acting. She deserved it too...a woman that acts like a child should be treated as such. Contact or no, Exodus' reply was the same. "How about this, princess. You tell me what you know and we go our separate ways." Exodus bet a spoiled brat like her had never really experienced hardships or needed to fight to survive. She was probably a pampered and puffed-up doll that needed to be kicked off her proverbial high horse...

Anastasia smirked shrugging she smaller frame before she motioned to leave the scene. However her smug quickly turned into a small frown on her beautiful face. She glared down at him listening to him as he made it quite clear that he would rather die than ask her for help. Good gods, are you always so hard headed? You take far too much to the heart, I didn't think such a sensitive young man was among us. This is the military, no one cares about your pride here. If you need help it's only natural you ask for it. she said coldly and blushed slightly glancing away. B-besides, it's not like I wanted to help you anyway. You can die for all I care, it's no skin off my nose. Get out of my way peasant! she said irritably before dashing past him nearly hitting him as she headed towards the stables.
She jumped off her horse hotly kicking a bucket before removing the saddles off her horse. She continued reminding herself that she could care less about that peon. Stupid, idiotic, brainless, brute of a child. she mumbled hotly, biting the inside of her cheek and huffing them. I only hope that horse knocks him back and he gets eaten by a titan. He'll really die before conversing with me. she said the heat slowly dissipating before she sadly kicked the dirt on the ground.
Frustrated and depressed with herself Anastasia mentally kicked herself for once again destroying any chance of making a friend. No matter what she did, she had to act like an idiot, and push everyone away. No matter what she did, she could never control that mouth of hers. Her eye pools with tears and she quickly wiped them away before they fell. By the Gods! You are a Ludenberg! Suck it up! she told herself. Rubbing her eye and sniffing she held her head high and proceeded inside, where she would spend her time reading whatever she could lay her hands on. Books were her only friend.╚══════════════════════════════════════╝

Exodus looked down at Anastasia's horse rather than her eyes and saw her intent...that was his que to get out of the way. He jumped back, avoiding getting run down while shooting a glare in Ana's general direction. "Sensitive? Who does she think she's talking about...?" Exodus placed a single hand in his pocket, decidedly more calm than Anastasia. "I don't owe anybody anything, much less her. I don't need anybody else." Even though Exodus said that, he found himself having to walk after her. He hated himself for having to ask for this, but it was the only way.
Exodus followed after her, hoping to actually ask like a civil person rather than show off his worse side. He liked that Anastasia was angry with him...it meant that when the time came, she wouldn't have to put her life in his hands or anything. If she relied on him, and he let her down...what would he be able to do about that? He couldn't just come out and say his reason for being so rude to her, so he did his best to apologize instead of broaching on a subject that would only embarrass him. "I'm not good with people, I'm even less so when it comes to asking for anything." Exodus began, not having any better words. If he could tell her why he acted like he did, he would...they were going to be working together until one of them died, but Exodus couldn't be nice for anything.
"I'm not going to plead my case or anything...I just hate talking to people. It's something you wouldn't understand if I told you. I am...sorry, though, for what I said. It was out of line." At that point, Exodus couldn't even make eye contact, choosing instead to look off to the side. Even with a monotone voice like his, he could at least give a sincere apology. He wasn't on his knees, but asking in this manner certainly felt just as bad. "So, please...help me. I don't want to be the one holding everyone back because they had to worry about me out of everyone else." Anastasia was very skilled where Exodus was not. He prided himself for his combat and tracing abiltities on the ground, but the one ground skill he lacked was horse-riding.
If it was his destiny to die, he'd rather do so by dying without taking somebody with him. He didn't need anybody trying to save him, and he was refusing to make nice with anybody out of a fear that one day they wouldn't be there anymore. Since that fateful day when he left the safety of the walls, he learned of that horror that he was shielded from for years. He also learned how painful it was to be left there, alone when the most important person in your world is devoured before your very eyes. Exodus wouldn't be doing Sunset or Axel any favors by ending up as food. He left the Trost District in his shadow to give everybody a chance, but right now...he didn't have any chances for himself.
Then there was the fact that the people who scarred his face would be right if he got anybody else killed. Exodus refused to lead a blood-stained life if he had nothing to give everyone in return. He would let himself die if he could carry humanity's hope just for a little while. He'd even die for Anastasia if it came down to it, but he would be damned before he let her do the same thing for anybody else. Everybody equally deserved to live...especially somebody who hadn't done anything at all in her life. Anastasia was a child, and a spoiled one at that, but nobody could deny her right to live save for her. He wondered exactly how far from the combat zone she'd need to be, but it wasn't his equation to calculate.
Thinking about everyone's safety, however, tinged Exodus' face red through his dark skin. "You don't care about anybody else, remember?"

Looking up from the book she was reading she noticed Vincent walk into the room and she glowered at him returning to her reading. She had planned to ignore him completely as she was sure he wasn't going to speak to her. However she was wrong. She frowned, pouting her soft pink lips and then huffing her cheeks.
Listening to him explain himself, Ana began seeing herself within him. He was just like her. They may have different reasons for behaving the way they did but she understood what he had been doing. However, she was still doing it unintentionally. Since she was a small little girl her family had raised her to be a proper lady of society. She buried her nose in the books, learned all she could being told only once. She mastered the arts, culinary arts, literature, music, singing, history, anything and everything a lady needed to know. However she could never master two things; dancing, and conversing with another. No matter how many books she read, she could never master proper socialization. Her pride as a Ludenberg, and lack of proper socialization with anyone outside her family caused her to become prude when speaking to anyone else. She treated them as if they were beneath her, and berated them to mask her concern and wanting for friendship.
The only one to see through her mask was possibly Azreth, however that alone seemed to have irritated her a bit. She blushed at the memory of how she completely embarrassed him during a ball.
My, my if it isn't Lord Azreth, coming to grace us with his presence. she said behind her fan.
A pleasure as always Lady Ludenberg. he said with a warm smile and kissed her hand. Blushing she moved her hand away.
D-don't go doing as you please Lord Deservian. Now I must wash this hand of mine. she said looking away from him. I heard you're thinking of joining the military. I must say such a low grade profession suits you far more than nobility. You'd fit in among the peasants and peons. she said.
Thank you for your support Lady Ludenberg. he said taking her hand and forced her to dance.
The memory burned her cheeks and she sighed to herself thinking that Azreth was a good man. Warm, and accepting to all persons. Knowing just what to say, and everyone liked him.
She looked up to Vincent as he apologized and blushed her eye widening in surprise. W-well, since you've reflected I see no point in arguing any further. I'll teach you then. she said. Come to the stables again tomorrow morning. she said returning to her book expecting him to leave. She knew he didn't like her so he wouldn't be spending anymore time around her. Although she wished someone would just talk to her for a bit.╚══════════════════════════════════════╝

Exodus nodded, turning his back to leave, but stopping short. He swore he was going to kill himself one day for this. He couldn't tell whether he did what he did to apologize or what, but he was constantly getting himself caught up in something or other. "You always have your nose in a book whenever I see you. Is that something you enjoy, or just a habit?"
Exodus about-faced all the way back around to carry out what he would assume was decent conversation. He was far better at fighting, so this was something he was still a bit lost at the moment he opened his mouth. "What are you reading now?" What a stupid question...Exodus felt like a fool, wanting to withdraw what he said the moment he said it. This seemed to be a common theme between him and the other cadets, however, so he couldn't say it surprised him.
Did it matter? Probably not. It was just like Exodus to choose such a poor, or even irrelevant topic. After asking her to teach him how to control a horse he went on and asked what she read...and there was absolutely no reason for it! Anastasia would probably pick up on the irrelevance as well, or rather, she would more than likely note that somebody who demanded to be left alone every day was pining for a conversation.

She glanced over the pages of her book to watch him leave. However just as she was about to continue reading she was shocked to hear him observe how she was always reading. She didn't think anyone really cared to notice what she did with her time. She blushed slightly when he asked what she was reading and eagerly answered. I-I'm reading Les Déchirures d'un Démon...it's a book about a demon who falls in love with a human and wants a second chance, to be with him. she explained turning bright red.
My taste in literature is quite wide. A-and I really like the author of these books. I try to learn what I can from them. she explained.
I wouldn't expect a peasant like you to know how great such literature is. But if you wanna stick around and let me read to you, I will. she said. That's just how kind-hearted I am. she said not wanting to admit she wanted to keep him around to talk some more.
The book she was reading was her favorite kind. Romance. She wouldn't dare admit it to anyone, not ever but she was a huge romantic. She has always enjoyed herself most when she read romance novels. Everything just seemed to fall into place with the characters, many brought tears to her eyes. She was embarrassed to admit what she was reading but it was her only chance to have a decent conversation with someone. And someone as off-standish as Vincent, to have him talk to her, wanting to converse meant the world to her.╚══════════════════════════════════════╝

Exodus raised a single brow, that was an...interesting book. A demon who falls in love with a human...Exodus would call it a ridiculous notion, but he wondered what the setting was. Perhaps redemption considering how Anastasia ended her explanation. He smirked, laughing a little bit when she said she'd read it to him. "I can read well enough, thank you." Even so, Exodus sat next to her to listen to her telling of the story.
Exodus couldn't help but make a smug comment afterwards, however, but he concealed it as well as he could. "What're you learning from a romance...?" Exodus would've liked to hold his tongue, but he couldn't resist. He didn't have anything against her tastes, but...the genre was something quite beyond him. He never read a book that wasn't literally just about the systems in the human body, or one that wasn't about different styles of fighting and takedowns. It wasn't that he couldn't grasp it, but he was never given a chance to with his drill sergeant of a father.

She smiled on the inside when he came to sit beside her as she continued to read. She blushed however when he asked what she could possibly learn from this sort of novel. There are plenty of things you can learn from literature like these. But sometimes...I just read it to enjoy myself. Nothing wrong with that. she said pouting. I wouldn't expect a peasant like you to understand. she said as she continued reading. She read to him for what felt like hours, and once the room itself began to get dark she closed the book and sighed. Well then, I believe we've been neglecting our own duties for a while now. I believe tonight is my turn cooking dinner. she said.
The cadets had agreed on a rotation for whom cooked and who cleaned. But sometimes, there would be exceptions made depending on who cooked well and who couldn't. Anastasia was a gourmet, and she had a very intricate and experienced palette. Provided with the proper ingredients which Azreth would provide from time to time, she cooked the best of meals for her cadets. She had yet been appreciated for it, since she hadn't had her turn, but she was positive that tonight she would be the center of attention.
Do you think Azreth is still around? she asked having not seen him for a while. It's quite bothersome knowing he's the only man here with any sort of delicacy to him. I can't help but envy that peon though, he's always the center of everything. Like a light that draws everyone in. she sighed looking annoyed despite the color on her soft cheeks. What do you think of him? she asked Vincent curious as to whether she was the only one who thought this way.
I mean, Azreth has known me for a long time. Despite the fact we've never spoken out of simple pleasantries, he understands me. It's quite irritating.

Exodus contemplated the story for quite some time afterwards, but he was still locked in to a conversation with Anastasia long after she finished. He shrugged in response to her question, but knowing Azreth...he assumed the man was out and about doing something or getting on somebody else's good side. He was quiet until Ana asked him what he personally thought of Azreth. Exodus' eyes widened in surprise; he looked at the ground and shook his head when he had a reply.
"I think he's a fool. He understands the common man and their needs, but he's hopelessly brave in the face of what could be his downfall. In my eyes, Azreth is foolish...but it works well for him. I don't know much of anything about him, but personality-wise, he's like the hero in a storybook. He knows what's right, what's wrong, and does his best to stand between both the discord among cadets and Titans between us." All admirable traits, and all things that Exodus wished he could be like.
"How can you not help but like him? He's like the essence of perfection." Exodus shrugged dismissively, but it was clear that despite his admiration for the man, there was an underlying jealousy. Exodus was certain that everybody was jealous of Azreth, however, as the man seemed to be faultless in all ways. Exodus, on the other hand, refused to count his faults out of knowing there were thousands of them.
Exodus brushed his unkempt hair behind his ears and out of his face so he didn't have to deal with it, but it was uncommon for him to care about where it fell. "The highest compliment I could possibly give him is he's everything I'm not, nor never will be. The least I can hope to do is prove I'm fit to stand with him...or anybody." That's why Exodus was here now, and that's why after weeks of attempts and falling on his back he wouldn't give up. He wanted to match up to the better of the cadets, even if it ended up costing him in the end.

Anastasia up to Vincent hugging her book to her chest. That man is perfectly flawless. It makes him quite irritable. But he has his own faults here and there...despite the warmth and kindness he exudes, sometimes I feel like they are a mask to a deeper sorrow. she said softly. I heard his father had passed away. The circumstances were never properly revealed to me but I feel bad for him. I've never experienced a loss like that in my life. she said.
Azreth is a fool. But he's a good man. she said standing and looked to him. I'm going now, do not be late for dinner. she ordered taking her book and heading to the door. And do not forget to meet again tomorrow. I want you there first thing in the morning. she said.
Walking out of the room she headed right for the kitchen and pulled on an apron, tying back her short hair. She began cooking the meal and thought about a lot of things. She had to try harder to make friends, she had to learn to keep her mouth shut and try harder to speak to everyone well.╚══════════════════════════════════════╝

Exodus was surprised that she would look so deeply in to Azreth, but he supposed it wasn't anything he'd have a clue about. Exodus' prediction proved right, as Anastasia had never really lost something or someone important to her, but then...why fight? Her only grudge against the enemy would be because of their habits rather than something personal. Exodus waved, going his own way as she went hers...there were still a few things he had to do.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
"Heel, beast!" Exodus shouted as he pulled his horse by the reigns. It didn't want to follow him, so he was going to drag it by its teeth if he had too. Exodus was causing a big scene today, but it was common for him to do so ever since he started learning. The horse reared up and threw Exodus off to the side before trotting around him in a circle. Exodus' face turned crimson afterwards...the nerve of this animal! "What? Are you smart enough to make fun of me now?" It just stared back at him with almost understanding eyes...it was more than likely this beast was smart enough to know it was making a fool of its rider.
Exodus stood up and grabbed the reigns from off the side again, prompting the horse to sprint off while Exodus tried to pull it down instead of allowing it to get free. This agitated the horse, and of course, it threw Exodus after dragging him a decent distance across the grounds. As he landed face first on the ground he struck it with an open palm and rolled back to his feet with a glare at the horse. "Listen to my commands already..." Exodus didn't know it, but the horse was acting kind of like him. He obviously didn't like it.

ＡＮＡＳＴＡＳＩＡ ∮ ＬＵＤＥＮＢＥＲＧ
Anastasia woke the next morning, stretching her small frame high into the air. She rubbing both eyes only able to see through one of them, and looked out the window. She had been born being able to see out of one eye. It wasn't something most found attractive about her. Her left eye was a milky blue color, having never developed a sense of sight through it. Her good eye, bright and blue worked perfectly, and she could see well. She swung her feet over the edge of the bed, her small dainty feet hanging over the edge before she slipped down and removed her night gown. She washed her face with a wash basin and began dressing in her uniform, pulling on the straps and walked to the mirror to put on her eye patch.
Brushing her hair she looked out the window wondering if Vincent had arrived to stables. She pulled on her boots and grabbed two loaves of bread for breakfast.
Stepping outside she watched Vincent's spectacle and could barely contain her laughter. She snorted trying desperately to hold back before she laughed loudly. Her laugh breathless and high, she looked like a little faerie, her smile carefree and innocent. She wiped a tear from her eye and approached Vincent. You pea-brain, just what are you doing? she asked breathlessly. She sighed trying to catch her breath and then kicked his knee, hard.
Alright idiot. Who asked you to let the horse out?! she asked getting right back to business and glowered at him. Put the horse back right this instance! And don't even think about trying to ride a horse until I've said so! You're going to end up breaking your neck before you've even faced training! she scolded pointing to the stables.
