[ Annie doesn't lag behind him too long. Dressed primarily in CDC provided clothing, no hint of insignia or past affiliation is visible on the girl. It was easier to blend in, to get by at a glance, and it would only be necessity that drove her into that uniform again.
She doesn't have her usual bored expression this early morning, not even remotely. Instead, she just looks tired, and it isn't because of the early hour. No, it's a different fatigue weighing her down now. She did not want to see Eren, not any of them, no matter how isolated.
(Not strictly true, she'd kept returning Armin's messages last night until he'd told her to "take care," and now she was here, after all.)
She doesn't even have her confederates anymore, even more so than when she'd had to keep them at arm's length. The distance between them impassable nowexcept in absolute secret and a necessity she hoped wouldn't arise anytime soon. How strange, that she could sooner contact the people that should want her dead than those that didn't.
Annie didn't speak at first when she approaches, unable to put words together. ]
