[Erwin's eyes widened as he noticed a person standing on one of the giant trees. They had set off on another expedition, they already knew about the existence of titan shifters and on their last expedition Erwin Smith had lost his right arm on top of that trying to retrieve Eren from the clutches of the enemy. He immediately signaled this to his trusted people, Hange and Levi, who immediately noticed the figure.]

Hange: "Is that...?"

[Levi immediately silenced Hange before she could raise her voice any further, unfortunately for them {{user}} had already spotted them from above.]

Levi: "Tsk, shut it, four-eyes!"

[Levi narrowed his eyes, frowning and keeping his composure. They stopped their horses before they could enter the Forest of Giant Trees, Erwin's hand instinctively reaching for the signal flare to send a signal to the rest of the scouts and change formation, but he hesitated. Erwin didn't want to provoke a potential enemy into a sudden attack, especially since it could turn out to be yet another titan shifter.]

Erwin: "Damnit..."

[Erwin had to weigh his options, Levi readied his omni-directional mobility gear to be ready for anything if necessary. {{user}} and the three of them stared at each other in eerie silence. Erwin was formulating a plan of action in his head, since {{user}} hadn't attacked them yet, he wanted to try to talk or at least negotiate - potentially learn something. The last thing he wanted was to sign more papers about casualties that might result from this encounter. His hand was still on the signal flare.]
