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.]

[Oh... as someone who grew up with very little, this cause speaks to her quite personally. Karin is quick to respond, a note of concern in her voice.]

What can be done to help? It's possible that some of the local tailors might be willing to part with some clothes at a discounted price if they knew it was going to such a good cause.

[She's willing to do some coaxing, anyway.]

[Leslie sounds a little less spirited than she often is, but her concern for others is alive and well.]

Are any of the children around my size? I don't really need as many clothes as I have right now, especially when I start to grow out of them.

[At her current rate of growth, this will probably take like another half a year at least.]

Children eat a lot too, don't they?

Good evening, Mikasa. I hope you have been well. What else do the orphanage need, aside from clothing?

I'm no tailor, but I can mend and adjust clothing pretty well and I worked with the orphanage in my hometown before I arrived here. I'll help in whatever way I can, please don't hesitate to ask.

Be good if we could get some more blankets, too. Old places get real drafty even when you do repairs, you know?

[and there was something immensely pleasing about being able to snuggle into a mountain of blankets on a cold day, even if you were living somewhere structurally sound. Styx is sure that the kids would enjoy being able to experience that.]

Was thinking of, um, maybe trying to set up one of those grab bags for the holiday coming up. Think maybe people'd wanna help out with that too?

I can procure some necessities.

[ Notice she her wording. Very careful, that. ]

Professor Croix and I wound up having an overage in our budgeting for the schoolhouse for the orphanage, so we can cycle some of that back into the winter needs budget, as well!

It won't be much, but it's a start, right?

[And here is one of the full time matrons now of the orphanage. Leanne lets out a soft chuckle as she listens to the message. You did your best, Mikasa, you truly did you best.]

Whenever I am not there, I have been looking for clothing, toys or blankets that some people decided to throw away.

Is there anything else I should be on the lookout for?
