[The first thing Gray noticed when he woke up was that his back hurt. That in itself didn't happen often, not because he was picky, but due to the exact opposite. But he felt tense, almost as if there were splinters poking at him, and he sat up to stretch. The next thing he noticed, once he opened his eyes, was he had absolutely no idea where he was. He kept quiet, looking down. He saw no chains, and wasn't injured, so this didn't seem like a kidnapping. But what else could it be? How had he arrived here? He stood up, trying to make as little noise as possible as he headed to test whether or not the door was unlocked.]

[It had been a nightmare, Armin's first trip outside the walls. The female titan had destroyed the right flank, killed friends and colleagues right in front of him. Then she had gotten away anyway, and Eren was almost captured. Then when several soldiers had made the foolish trip to recover the body of one of their fallen comrades, they had brought the Titans down on everyone once again.

When Armin saw a flash of light and then a man who he'd swear had not been there a moment before stumble and fall a hundred meters to the side, he was already at the back of the formation - there was no time to alert anyone else. He simply had to make a decision - to stick with the group or go off on his own and try to save the strange man.

He chose the second option.

Perhaps it was foolish of him, but the man was clearly alive - and he wouldn't leave anyone out here to be eaten. Not if he could help it. In the chaos that followed, Armin had lost the group completely - Gray was simply to heavy for him to lift easily to his horse. And one of the titans had split off to follow him - by the time he was back on his horse, he didn't have a choice of which way to go.

It was a long chase. Armin finally managed to kill it, in the end - his first kill, though he injured his arm and lost his horse in the process. Managing to get them both to an abandoned house nearby, he had set the man down on the one scratchy bed inside - still unconscious, if stable - before collapsing quietly in the corner.

Pain and exhaustion kept him out until he heard the doorknob turn, still half asleep but reacting instinctively, reaching out as he stumbles to his feet.]

Don't open the door!

[His head hurt something awful and the sudden shock of the words sends him reeling a little, gripping the doorknob for purchase. He hadn't actually given Armin a close look before, but he turned to face him, looking cross as he tried to discern him. He didn't look like he was capable of much, but appearances were always deceiving, especially with mages. Best to remain guarded.]

How about you tell me what's going on before you start giving me commands?

[There's nothing stopping him from just walking on out and ignoring the blonde's words, but he needs the information. It's better than the potential of blindly walking into a trap. He didn't move from his spot, leaning against the door, and arms folded defensively.]

Who are you? What am I doing here? That emblem on your jacket, I don't recognize it. Who are you with?

[Armin shudders in pain as his sudden movement catches up with him, swallowing hard and clutching his arm. It takes a few moments and a couple deep breaths before he manages to speak again. His voice is strained, but grave and earnest.]

We're outside the walls. If we go out without careful planning, we'll both be killed.

Don't open the door.

[Then the boy's other questions sink in, and Armin looks at him, wondering. Could he really not know?

Grimacing in pain again, he gives a salute, right fist clenched over his heart, left behind his back.]

I'm Armin Arlert, Survey Corps, formerly of the 104th trainees squad.

[He narrows his eyes, almost imperceptibly. Had he been injured before, or did it occur during the length of time that existed as a blank space to him?]

Killed by what? What's out there?

[He brings his right fist into his left palm, ready to cast a wall across them, only to stop before any ice can form once he realizes Armin's not trying to attack him.]

You're injured, Armin, you don't have to salute to me. I'm Gray Fullbuster, from Fairy Tail, and we're not anywhere near Magnolia, are we?

...You really don't know. [Armin stares at him in disbelief.] The titans. Giants with no purpose but to eat humans.

[He shakes his head, dropping the solute with relief.]

I have no idea where Fairy Tail or Magnolia are. As far as I know, humanity survives only within the walls. But if you truly don't know of the titans... impossible as it seems, you're probably not from this world.

[He lowers his head, thinking.] I saw a flash of light - I had no idea where it came from - and when I looked over you were there. [He shakes his head. Between the chase and his battle with the titan, his subsequent injuries and exhaustion...] I haven't had time to figure out what happened, yet, what it means.

[Gray goes silent, peering out the window for these supposed titans while allowing the information to sink in. His first thought is his friends. Has the same happened to them? Are they okay? What if they're out there right now, unaware of the enemies Armin had just described? He faces Armin again, expression grim and furrowed brows causing the scar mostly hidden beneath his bangs to crinkle slightly like ruined paper.]

Was I the only one?

[His second thought happens to be: not this again. He isn't even sure if his magic would work within the laws of this world. If it does, they stand a better chance, but if not, then the only person very capable of defeating them is injured and probably exhausted on top of that.]

We need to get back to these walls. We can figure out what it means later. About how far a distance are we from them?
