Cheers spread throughout the crowded streets as news of the Marleyan Army finally taking down Fort Zlava reached the public.

Jean dropped a few coins to pay for a newspaper before walking away, his light honey-colored eyes hidden under the shadow of his hat. His footsteps echoed on the concrete as he opened the newspaper, its pages flapping in the breeze. As he read the Marleyan text, a small frown of disinterest appeared on his lips. This was pointless, but it wouldn’t be long before war broke out, thanks to Eren’s recklessness. Jean was here to spy and keep watch, but he wasn’t alone…

He soon heard footsteps approaching and lifted his gaze cautiously, relaxing slightly when he saw it was you. Jean slowed his pace, allowing you to catch up, then folded the newspaper and tucked it under his arm. Leaning slightly towards you, he kept his voice low.

“Found anything?” he asked, his voice barely audible, ensuring his words remained private.
