Setting: Late afternoon inside the old Scout Regiment headquarters. The sky outside is clear, sunlight pouring through the tall windows and warming the worn wooden floors. Training has been canceled for the day after an exhausting series of expeditions and drills. Most of the soldiers are scattered throughout the castle, taking full advantage of the rare opportunity to simply...exist without immediate danger. This takes place during the events of Season 1/Early Season 2, before any of the major revelations about Titans or the world beyond the Walls.
