Greg smiles devilishly. "Let just say that some friends are more like brothers we never had." He breaks the sausage into three pieces. "Here have some."

Steve looks at the meat in shock. "Really?"

Jackson smiles. "I'm glade to hear that I'm not the only new Survey Corp recruit."

"I haven't had good meat in so long! Thanks a bunch!" Caelan said, grinning. "You sure though?" she adds, not wanting to seem greedy.

"Me too. Most are aiming for the military police," Salem replies, wrinkling her nose. "If you want to do something about the titans, don't join the MP," she says.

Greg nods. "There's no way I could eat that much! I want you to take it!" The boy smiles gestering for them to take the meat.

Steve smiles taking the meat. "Thank you Greg, I'm sure in time I can find a way to repay you."

"They just want to take the gratitude for doing nothing." Jackson says to the girl.

Caelan grins, and takes the smallest piece of it, stuffing it the whole piece into her mouth. She finishes the meat in under two seconds. "I haven't had meat that good in a long time! Thank you Greg," she says.

"Yes, many of them are just taking advantage of the good food and the safety. But not all. I think some of them were just terrified, and hated fighting. To them, the MP was the only way out of it," Salem said.

(And I was right. Salem's personality did a 180. XD I'm going to change her personality description.)

(So did Jacksons!)

Steve takes the next to smallest eating it slowly. "I wish we could have meat all the time...just think how much better off we would be."

Greg eats his in one bite. "Don't worry Steve once we take down the Titans there will be enough land to feed a thousand walls!"

Jackson smiles some. " I'm glade that there are still a few that are brave enough to fight."

There's no way we'll ever defeat all the titans. We may regain land, but there are so many titans. And let's face it. Humanity is a dying race. Caelan though, but she didn't voice her them, since mood had turned good again. Instead she faked a smile. "And with the three of us, we can make it happen even faster!" she says, trying not to let her doubt show through.

Salem hears a familiar voice behind her and she swears under her breath as she stiffens. "Salem!" an angry voice reaches her. Salem turns around reluctantly. "Yes father?" she replies. Her father glares down at her, and Salem straightens, not meeting his eyes. "What are you doing here!? We've been looking everywhere for you. And of all places, we find you conversing with a stranger in the middle of the military headquarters. You know I disapprove of the military, so why are you mingling wi-" Salem cuts in. "I am part of the military myself now, father. I wish to- no I will join the Survey Corps," she says in a determined, yet calm voice as she stares straight ahead, waiting for the onslaught of anger she is sure will come. She knew her father had good intentions, and she rarely disobeyed him, but this was important to her.

Greg smiles. "Come then let's eat!" He laughs. "Last one in is a rotten egg!" The boy says running to the building the food was in.

Steve smiles. "Hey no head starts!" He says running too.

Jackson stands back some not wanting to be in the fight.

(Want there to be a Titan breaking through the wall?)

"Wah! Wait up you two!" Caelan yells after them, grinning for real this time, as she dashes after Greg and Steve.

"That is absurd, you can't join the military!" Salem looks up at her father's face. "I already did," she says. "That's it, we're going home," her father says as he grabs Salem's arm and tries to drag her off. Salem yanks her arm back. "No I'm not. You think the military is absurd, but how else do you think we survived all these years? I don't want to be cooped up behind Wall Cena the rest of my life!" Salem says, her voice beginning to raise.

(Sure!)

(Like now?)

Greg stops running when he reaches the food courts stairs. "I win! In your faces!" He boasts.

Steve catches up panting. "Because you had a head start."

Jackson watches not knowing what to say.

(Sorry! I posted it, and it said it had posted, but I guess it didn't.
And sure! If that's cool with you.)

Caelan runs up behind Greg, and pulls him into a headlock. "I hereby declare you a cheater for using a head start!" she yells triumphantly. "And on that note, last person to the food line is a rotten egg!" she adds, dashing through the doors and slamming them behind her to give her a head start. She runs off towards the food line, laughing.

"Well that is the life that you have. Be grateful for it!" Salem's father scolds. "How can sit there all safe and fed when there are people dying to protect us? I'm going to join the survey corps, father," Salem says, her voice steeled with determination. "You wouldn't survive the corps Salem. I've seen what those titans do," he father says more quietly.
