I'm not sure how many have you have heard. But there's an orphanage in the harbor district that... [She pauses, had Eren told everyone he was the mysterious benefactor?] That changed hands recently. They've been making improvements now, but there's a lot of things that need doing.

[She really lacked the charisma for this. A huff slips out as eventually she gives up and just goes for the good old blunt way.]

Children grow a lot and they need clothes that fit better and will keep them warm when the snow comes.

[And that's it. Message sent. She tried.]

[Mikasa lifted her head from where she'd been looking at... His lap, where Tater was huddled. Blinking.]

No? That's fighting... I got told to leave because I hit people too much. [That was not at all a worrying thing to say.] You have to get a ball from one side of a field to the other. But people have to stop you.

[They are sports champs!] It was the only good game they had. [She'd enjoyed being a tiny wreaking ball anyway. Nothing like someone being confident they could stop the < 6 foot fae only to be knocked on their ass.]

[tothemetal]

Yeah? Really thought you had to hit people for that one...huh!

[but Mikasa clearly knows better and he's perfectly willing to accept this information as fact. not like he can really glean the actual rules from the way she'd explained them - which makes him laugh.]

Not like I'd know! Nobody needed me to play with them for shit like that.

[stopfen]

[That makes her look him up and down. Staring for a moment...]

Really? You look like the type of person they'd want...[That had been part of the amusement, tiny fae running straight at people like him.]

[tothemetal]

Me? Haha, no way! 'm too big 'nd stupid, you know?

[he gestures at himself, completely unashamed of the critical eye Mikasa had just cast his way. Styx is used to being ogled in such a fashion with far more negative conclusions drawn at the end, so such benign interest doesn't bother him in the least.]

Takes me forever to learn the rules, 'nd then I kinda end up just trampling over everybody anyway...they say it's no fun for anybody else playing.

[was it, though? or had it just been more fun to find another way to exclude him? it's not like Styx will ever consider that possibility.]

[stopfen]

You're supposed to be big. [Though she didn't comment on the stupid part. They'd had that talk before. It did get a sharp frown though. She couldn't really talk there given she left the complicated planning to others.]

Besides, I didn't...Don't know the rules either. I didn't even know there was any for that game.

[Because there wasn't. That game was just carnage and people dunking each other...with love.]
