“Of course. Sometimes, I just look at strawberries… ah, they’re such lovely reds, I wish I could taste them…”
“Human’s describe them as sweet, but I don’t understand what they mean by that. I can’t imagine what ‘sweet’ would be for us.” She mused quietly. “Sometimes I wish I could taste human food, just once, and know what those sayings like ‘sweet’ and ‘bitter’ and ‘sour’ mean.”
Eren smiled and nodded. “It was I enjoyed watching it emesly. I want to see it again one day.” Of course he didn’t know exactly what to say about never hearing aboug it.
“So I have heard. I don’t see how peopke can do something like lump all of them in together. It makes no sense.” He says shaking his jead disaprovingly at the very thought.
“Okay! I will see you then!” He says brightly.
Violet eyes look at him in disbelief when he speaks, eyes widening at his words. She didn’t ever meet a human who had that opinion, where lumping them all together was wrong. She’d never met anyone that believed that some ghouls could be good. He sure was interesting.
What’s more interesting was the fact that he said he’d see her when she returned down. She hadn’t expected him to want to be near her any more than he had to. She was just a waitress, after all.
Running upstairs, Touka dresses in her usual shorts with high socks and a hoodie; promptly sticking her hands in the pockets of the hoodie as she made her way down. “Where are you headed after this?” She asked the man curiously. She was hoping to get out of the shop for awhile and would offer to let him tag along if he didn’t have anything going on.
Eren nods. “They are, and peoole do love them. So I made them happily. And people will enjoy them. I do what I can to make it haopen.”
Touka helped him clean up, all the while lost in thought as she wondered just what a cookie tasted like. She wished, just once, she could taste human food as they tasted it. Honestly, she wished she could ask as well, but that’d just out what she really was.
“Well, I’m sure you’ll have fun with your friends! It’s nice you made some so soon.”
He tutted, shaking his head and chuckling slightly under his breath. His eyes had returned to normal, he felt it a waste of energy to implement his kakugen. “That’s the thing, I am better than you.” He snarled, the chuckle leaving his throat and a frown replacing the small grin.
“Not running? What if CCG decides to fuck you guys up? What would you be doing then? Running. You’re hiding. Lying to yourself to let you sleep at night. Bet you still have nightmares about Doves finding you…killing the people around you…like Pops all over again. You know why I don’t have those worries? Because I don’t hide…”
“You sure as hell say that a lot, but I don’t see you proving it! Maybe you’re stronger physically, but you’re nothing but a coward, a liar, and a murderer! You have no morals whatsoever, and that’s what determines how good people are, and who’s better than the other!”
Rolling her eyes, Touka growled out a response. “I would fight if I had to, but I sure as hell am not going to go around killing people just for the hell of it! There’s no point in doing that, that just makes them want to hunt you down even more! You’re just taking the easy way out, killing and finding other means for power because you’re greedy!”
Ayato growled, preparing to headbutt her again if she carried on. “Or I could just use my kagune and get rid of both my problems, you and this damn shirt!” He snapped, wiggling his shoulders again to try and move the shirt upwards and over his head - but with no success.
“Well then stop bitching and get us out then if you’re so fucking smart!”
“If you wanted to do that you’d have done it by now, dumbass! Not shut the hell up, and use your fucking head for once instead of threatening to do something that wouldn’t benefit either one of us!” Touka shouts before sighing loudly.
“I must be a hell of a lot smarter than you since I’m the one that’s at least trying to make up plans!” She barked back, nudging him, although it didn’t do much. “Alright, now try and walk to your right. We should look through drawers to check for scissors.”

“I didn’t pick anyone over the other, you were the one that left me, don’t you remember? You were the one that picked those bastards over your own family. You’re the one that walked out that door!”
He had abandoned her, he had left her all alone just like their father had, but this time it was his choice. He chose to leave her, and that pain would always weigh on her.
“You’re the reason humans are killing our kind for no good reason! Ghouls like you! Who hunt and kill when there are other ways! You’re just using that as an excuse, as always. That’s all you’ve ever given me; excuses.”
The blond slept peacefully for several hours. In his sleep, he was sucking his thumb. Childish? Maybe. But it was comforting.
It was already quite dark out when he woke up. He rubbed his eyes and looked around.
“Tow Truck?” He called, looking for Touka.
Touka watched him sleep for awhile before she figured she had enough time to run out and investigate. She was back before he woke, having discovered the body of his mother from the footprints he’s left.
When Touka heard the voice, she walked into the room. “Hey, you were tired weren’t you?” Touka asked with a small smile. She didn’t want to have to tell him about his mother, at least not yet. “How’d you sleep?”
{Hey guys, so I wanted to apologize for the lack of activity. It's mainly because I got a new migraine medicine that I have to take at night because it makes me drowsy. Night time is normally when I do replies, and it's hard to do them when I'm on the verge of passing out. Good news, though. My college was cancelled for tomorrow because of a huge snow storm. As long as I have power, I will get to replies tomorrow. Even if I don't have power, I'll get to most of them on my phone. But for tonight, I have to rest because I'm super tired. Sorry again for the absence!}
They wave their hand. “I sometimes cook my food- but I just like to watch people make things. And some of the food people make just looks really cool.”
“Looks good, yes. Tastes good? Not so much.” Touka sighed. She longed to taste cake the way humans did, to see what was so great about it. “Do you ever wonder what cake tastes like to humans?”
Eren smiles. “Oh some class mates wanted to come over for a little party, nothing to wild, just a sort of welcome to Japan. I didn’t have enough time to prepare an enthic dish, so I went with chocolate cookies.”
“Great choice, chocolate chip cookies are always good.” Not that she knew. They tasted like shit to her, just like every other human food. But, she did notice that most humans were very fond of them. “I’m sure all of them will love them. Do you need help cleaning up?”
FAINT CHUCKLE POURS past pale lips ; YOU LOOK LIKE SHIT . he must . the sickness that has it’s claws in the hybrid had him laid up for a week with an unhealthy schedule of sleep . even out of bed a blanket is found TIED AROUND THIN SHOULDERS , a desperate attempt to stay warm in such dire time .
HOT DRINKS & FREQUENT SNACKS were a regular when he became ill , but the ‘ transformation ‘ leaves HALF an option . HOT DRINKS . . . coffee , of course . but his DROWSINESS , the drink just adds JITTERS atop it . IT’S ANYTHING BUT FUN .
“ i’m just sick . it’s nothing , really . you get sick , right ? “ EVERYONE GETS SICK . ghouls do too , right ? in truth the thought never crossed his mind before . maybe they live without sicknesses .
Touka rose an eyebrow when he chuckled, tilting her head ever so slightly as she watched him. Why the hell was he laughing? She was serious. He looked like death would knock on his door any second, and if she was honest, she was a bit worried, not that she showed her worry very well.
“Get your ass to bed then,” Touka told him with a stern voice as well as a pointed look. “Of course I get sick. Everyone gets sick, just not as bad as humans.” It was rare, but it’d happened to her before. “Tell me what you need, and I’ll get it for you, otherwise, keep your ass in bed, so you don’t get sicker.”
Touka went to wave him away, though turned once more. “Oh, and answer your damn phone. Your friend has been blowing up MY phone because YOU won’t answer.”

Mel’s mouth quickly snapped shut, her icy blue eyes widen slightly at the sight before her. A complete stranger was helping her out. Yes, she did witness her being unfairly surrounded but it wasn’t anything that she wasn’t use to. Though she was still confused as to why this person would help her. No one hadn’t stopped do it before.
After being puled from her thoughts, she blinked quietly at the question if she was okay, despite the small bruise on her cheek, Mel had nodded slightly. “It’s not anything that i’m not use to already..” She mumbled before wincing slightly at the pain on her wrist and noticed that she had scraped it when the guys had shoved her to the ground.
Touka frowned when she was told the other was used to it. “No one has helped you in the past?” Touka asked in disbelief. How heartless some people could be. It baffled her and pissed her off at the same time. Touka may act as though she could care less half the time, but in reality, she would give her life to protect the innocent.
“You’re hurt,” she stated simply before waving her to follow. “I have a coffee shop not too far away. I can patch you up there. Meanwhile, tell me about those people. How often do they bother you?”
Eren smiled a bit. He could clear that right up. “The blue angels are America’s top notch Navy Pilots. They start off as regular aviation specialists, a fancy military term for pilot, and if they fly well enough, they can be promoted to the showman’s corps as well, the blue angels is the highest honor, hardest to attain, and most skilled and talented group of naval pilots.
Eren looked a little confused. “I never said they where. I just said I couldn’t let the chance of being eaten by one scare me away. I’m sorry if I angered you. There is no way all of a group can be bad, well except for criminals I guess.”
That was an odd response he had not been expecting to get from anyone. She seemed almost…confrontational?
“I see,” Touka mused quietly when he explained. “That sounds interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of such a thing, but I bet it was nice to watch.” Sometimes she wondered what it would be like to experience those sort of things, but she knew that she would be stuck here her whole life unless some miracle happened.
“You didn’t have to say it, I’m sure soon enough people will begin to tell you that they are, though. I wanted to ensure that you knew before others decided to implant that ridiculous lie in your head.” Although, she vowed to keep him safe. No one would eat him, not under her watch. He seemed like a nice enough guy, and interesting to talk to. Therefore, silently she promised to protect him.
“Just forget it.” Touka pushed off the wall. “I should change out of my uniform. I’ll be down in a while.” Seeing as her room was only just up the stairs in the back. Not that she expected him to stick around. Who’d want to hang out with a moody girl like her anyway?
{Hey guys, so here's what's up. I've been up all day since 5am and I'm exhausted. I was also put on some new daily migraine medicine that I have to take at night to control my migraines and it makes people drowsy supposedly. I'm too tired to do anything tonight in general and I haven't even taken the meds yet, but by tomorrow I should be on and everything should be done!}
