Attack on Titan: Somnium

Attack on Titan: What's in the box

Attack on Titan: Somnium

@wolverbells He had a box of meat. To which Mora will be very upset that she wasn't able to eat any. And you know- all the death. She's probably going to be a little upset about that too.

@FrostedCaramel
A bit. I hate not living close to my relatives at times. Its been almost four years since I've seen them for any holidays. There's been small visits in between the times but it's not exactly the same I guess

"You shouldn't of interfered!" Mora wrenched her arm out of her brothers grasp, "I easily had those punks!"

Cain sighed heavily before moving to grasp his little sisters arm once more, "No, you didn't. You can't just go and punch every person you disagree with!"

"Like hell I can't! And don't touch me!" she pulled away once more, storming away from the crowds. "You saw them, Cain. You can't stand there and tell me that they should be allowed to carry on like that!"

"You're right. They're jerks."

These weren't the words the young girl expected to hear. Surprised she turned around to face her brother, arms crossed tightly across her chest as Mora stared him down, "But?"

"But that doesn't mean you get to take that into your own hands."

Mora groaned loudly and resumed her march, each step digging into the ground with her seething anger. "If you can't stand up to common bullies, then what good are you?" It was harsh and Mora felt her anger slip away to guilt the moment it left her lips. Cain was just trying to protect her. Like any of her brothers would. He just didn't see things the way she did. He wanted to hide her away and have her stay home; safe but Mora didn't want to waste her life waiting for someone to change things.

"Lets go get some bread and pastries from the bakery-like dad said. Punching him worked up an appetite "

Cain didn't respond, instead he silently trudged behind his little sister as they made their way back up the road. The Stone bakery had some of the towns best fresh buttered hot rolls. Just the thought of them set Mora's stomach growling. Cain on the other hand was a connoisseur of sweet treats. Mora always pointed out that his love of sugar was why he could never budge that pudge that layered across his middle.

"She's making blueberry pie." Cain broke the silence as he noted the swelling aroma in the air as they neared the bakery.

"Race ya. Winner gets the others slice of pie!" She shot off, leaving her brother behind to scurry after her.

The pair shot into the bakery, a mess of laughter and sweat as earlier tensions had melted.

"Oh, hello!" beamed a cheery woman from behind the counter.

"Hello, Mrs. Stone." Cain greeted back. The woman had already started preparing the two a basket, "Let me guess. Four hot rolls and a slice of pie," she smiled at them, "Maybe an extra slice, just in case." She winked at Cain who looked at the ground with embarrassment.

"Hey, is Jade sick or something?"

"No, she has the day off. Figured she deserved a day off on such a beautiful day. Hey," she slammed her palms down on the counter, "Jade should be out on the hill, would you mind taking her a basket for her to eat?"

"Well, we should-"

"Sure!" Mora shouted over her brother.

"Wonderful! Thank you so much. Here, take a few extra rolls for your trouble."

Mora did a little excited dance as Mrs. Stone filled their basket once more before preparing a smaller one for her daughter. She knew her daughter from the bakery but not much else- age seemed to always be at work with her mom which Mora understood. She'd chat with her whenever they stopped by after a long day building.

"Hey, isn't that Lauren?" Mora pointed out. The dark haired girl was around Mora's age. Her father had saved their fathers life when a beam slipped and landed on his chest; crushing a few ribs.

"Is it? Oh. Yeah." Cain dismissed quickly but when Mora turned to look over at her brother she could see her brother had turned a deep red. A coy smile pulled as her lips as she turned towards him, "We should incite her to come eat with us."

"No!" Cain shouted before looking around nervously.

"Oh come on. We have extra rolls and its the perfect time for you to tell her that you love her."

Cain choked in the air he was inhaling as Mora already skipped off towards the girl.

"Oh, Lauren!" she called across the hill, trying to catch the girl's attention! "Lauren! Come join us!" she waved her arms in the air before pointing to her basket.

"I'm going to murder you." Cain whispered, his face even darker now.

"You'll thank me at your wedding but hey, fine. Here." she paused scanning the hill before spotting another figure in the distance.

"Hey, who is that?" she pointed the boy out to her brother.

"Uh, that's Gabriel Moreau. Let's not bother-"

"GAY-BREE-ELLLLL!" Mora screamed at the top of her lungs at the boy, "We're having a picnic with Jade and Lauren, come join us!" she pointed at her basket once more as she felt her brother die a little inwardly. Flashing her brother her best winning smile she skipped back away towards where Jade lay, who no doubt by this point was a little concerned seeing that her name was just yelled out across the hillside.

Mora dropped down to the ground beside the girl, sighing loudly, "Your mom wanted us to bring you something to eat. Hope you don't mind if we join you. It's a beautiful day,don't you think?" she started unpacking her basket as she waited for the rest of them to show up. "Well come on, guys! Its getting cold!"

Sweat beaded upon her brow as Mora grunted beneath the heavy weight of the wooden pillar. A few feet beside her her father stood, face twisted up in concentration as the two of them hauled the frame off the earth below and laid it flush against its supports. They had been at it all day; with the trio up bright and early to take advantage of the cool mornings but it was mid-day now and sweat rolled down their flesh and darkened the light blue cloth that clung to the youth. Not that Mora minded. The sweat, the grime and even the occasional splinter. All of it was worth it in the end as the skeletal structure started to take the shape of Mr. Oritiza's newest Shoppe.

"Alright, Cain, go ahead and bolt these together." her father instructed to the boy. Mora took notice of the weariness that crept into her father's voice. He was getting old. She had noted this several times over the past few months. The work days got shorter and the jobs took a little longer.

"Stop looking at me like that, girl."

Mora startled, looking away as heat colored her cheeks

"I'm not that old." he chuckled but Mora didn't budge. Looking up she shot him a heavy glare, "But you're not getting younger either. It's time for you to step down. Give the business to Lorren!"

Lorren, the eldest of the Kingsly crew, was often the target of Mora's snide comments. He was strong and healthy yet he has stopped coming to help their father years ago. Her father reminded her time and time again that he was a grown man, with a family of his own to worry about. "I could always give it to you." her father joked as he cast a sideways glance over at the impetuous girl.

"Dad..." her voice trailed off but the guilt was easily read across her face

"Yes. Yes. I already know. My daughter- the cadet." he laughed before moving to help Cain fasten the last of the bolts in place.

"You know that's no place for a girl to be." her brother chimed in. There was always something about Cain that got on Mora's last nerve, though to be fair she could probably say the same for almost all the Kingsley men, but it was his blatant sexism that always got her started.

Mora had already drew in a sharp breath, all prepared to lay into her older brother when her father lifted his hand to silence her. "Hey, why don't you go see what's going on down by the marketplace," he gestured with a free hand to the to the roaming crowds of people drifting down the street, "Cain! Go with her and pick up something to eat from the bakery while you're down there."

The boy groaned at the request but hurried to catch up with his sister who had already taken off without even a goodbye.

"It's got to be the Scouts." she mused to her brother as they fled down the cobblestones. She could feel it in the air, that tension that came right before a storm. "What's with your obsession with the military anyway?" Cain scoffed.

"I've told you countless times. What better way to spend your life than helping humanity. They keep us safe." Mora could practically hear her brother roll his eyes at her. "I swear you're some random child my parents took in." she muttered under her breath at his cowardice. Unfortunately he wasn't the only person who thought like that. The awe and honor that probably once accompanied being a scout had long worn off. People saw their march as a nuisance. Not Mora though. She marveled in their strength and bravery. Plus, they had been beyond the wall. They had gone places she had only dreamed of.

A chorus abuse greeted her ears as she arrived at the gates. The troop, battered and haunted marched solemnly down the street. There was group of people berating a fallen solider while others spat out questions that fell on deaf ears. "Is this what you want? Look at them," Cain hissed in her ear, "I won't have you running off and joining them. I won't see you trudge through those gates looking like that!" For the first time she turned to her brother and really looked at him, maybe he wasn't always belittling her dreams for the sake of spite. No, the look he had in his eyes wasn't disgust with the poor souls before them. It was pity and anger.

Mora squeezed his hand softly before breaking away. She had nothing to offer to the Scouts. No food or water but she wanted to give them hope. To show them that she appreciated their efforts. Winding through the crowd she made her way to the group of hecklers. Mora recognized a few of them. They went to school with Connor. She didn't say a word as she approached them just balled up her fist. Behind her she could hear her brother call for her but he was bulky and a little slow; he'd never catch up in time. She swung with all her strength into the gut of a boy named Frazier. He immediately dropped to the hard stone below them as his friends scrambled to help him back up.

"You show some respect! They are putting their lives on the line while you sit here in safety. Cowards!" She spat her words like venom while her brother snatched her back and pulled her back. "What the hell, Ra. This is not the time or the place."

He dragged his sister away as the group took to insulting her but at least they'd leave the poor solider alone. That was enough for Mora, at least for now.
