[ It's something of a tradition now. One day a week, outside of Jean's training -- that Mikasa often joins with the pretext of helping, and Levi makes sure to show off some moves and techniques specifically for her even without being asked to -- they happen to visit the stables at the same time, and go on a ride together. ]

[ Sometimes they talk. Most of the time they don't, but the silence is companionable all the same, words unnecessary to communicate the message of camaraderie. They share all too many similarities, and plenty of them have nothing to do with their blood. ]

[ Some of them Mikasa isn't aware of yet, like how many loved ones they will end up losing, even by their own hands. ]

[ Levi hopes she never finds out. ]

[ It's after one such ride around Sunwaning, the stables already in sight, that they're caught by a downpour of spring rain, somehow warmer than one would normally expect at this time of year. The weather had seemed so nice that Levi hadn't bothered to wear the hooded cloak, a decision that he's maybe regretting a little now. He stares ahead, expression seemingly unchanging, but Mikasa knows him well enough to probably tell he looks a little more done than usual. ]

this time we can thank some version of Lost Girls for making me ramble

[She goes on these rides a lot both alone and with others too because she works at that same stables and she gets to ride the horses to make sure they get all the exercise, that they need every day. Though she is currently riding on her own horse because along with all the others, she's her most important "client" there.

And as much as Mikasa always enjoys these rides with every horse and other company every time, whether it's a chatty or silent time, riding in general also always reminds her of Titan Hell and makes her think about way too many things. Especially with how many people from there are/have been here. Sure, she doesn't want to know about the future stuff but obviously any of them might be dead in the future and she's-- always known, that she will lose Eren in some horrible way, probably in the most horrible way which would be... Exactly what it's going to be without her knowing any of the details of it or leading to it happening. But if he'll be one of the dead people, then it most likely also means that her worst fears of how it will happen will also happen because there's absolutely no way she'd ever let anyone else get close enough to even try doing anything to him. So part of the whole not wanting to know is also not wanting a confirmation of her worst fears and nightmares when she has always felt like they're going to happen anyways. And that's not even her being a psychic or anything, because she is nothing like that, it's just the usual thing about their world being a merciless place.

Mikasa has way too much time to think about all of that whenever she's riding anywhere alone and silence with anyone -- including Levi -- sometimes makes her think about those things too. She's trying not to think about things like that in anyone's company, of course, but sometimes her mind wanders there on its own... And sometimes that happens in the middle of a ride, sometimes she makes her horse gallop for a while to get her mind away from there but she wouldn't do that this close to the stables.

Right now, it's trying to come back to her mind when the rain suddenly starts and gives her something else to think about for the moment. Hmmmm. Surprisingly warm, gentle, pouring rain out of nowhere around this time of the year... Flashbacks to last year. Nope. Surely this isn't one of those rains again.]

. . .

[Mikasa looks so done too, and Levi can use some kind of Ackertelepathy to read the words "This better not be that ... again..." from her face. Nahhh, he doesn't need to be a psychic to understand that being said even without words because it's just one of those Ackerman expressions, that are easy to understand, especially when you happen to be another Ackerman.]

...

[ Yep, they're definitely communicating wordlessly right now. Levi hadn't really been affected last time -- apparently Ackerman resistance to bullshit deciding to work against it then -- but he's seen enough of others behaving oddly to get the gist of what it was exactly that the rain did. ]

[ No, he doesn't think it has anything to do with the rain right now. He just doesn't like getting wet. Still, he is indeed picking up on some extra annoyance from Mikasa which means something might be up. ]

[ He flicks a slightly questioning glance her way. ]

[ Again? ]
