what kind of Bear? ;; Crim

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

The idea of others referring to him as Bear was more or less annoying. Now, Eren Summers knew that his nickname was given to him out of affection. Calix started calling him 'Gom', Korean for bear, when he was little. And the name always stuck.

Usually, only his brother called him that. The others were wary of his reaction if they'd call him by that name. Eren wouldn't do anything, of course. He wasn't as violent as would be expected. Ironically, he was more of a gentle giant.

Eren was leaning against a wall, flicking a lighter between his fingers. He didn't smoke, but rather played idly with the flame when he had nothing to occupy his time. Calix would kill him if he smoked anyways.

[CrimsonMoon]

A police cruiser stopped nearby, a girl climbin out of the front seat, she had short chocolate brown hair that was pulled back in a loose pony tail and dark skin that seemed like she was a mixed kid. She leaned into the car to kiss the policemen on the cheek, her father or uncle most likely and quickly scurries back, hugging a book to her chest as she waves off the cruiser. She wore close that seemed to cost a bit more then what was normal around her hut the clothing was so worn down, it didnt seem to matter. She watches the car disappear before spinning on her heel and spotting Eren, smiling anxiously but kindly... She was a perfect target for mugging, theft or any of the above with her trusting smile and all that 'innocence'..

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

The flame licked his fingers as he touched at it experimentally. His light brown eyes found the girl's gaze and while he didn't have a particularly menacing gaze, his sheer size was enough to raise caution. But right now, Eren was merely observing this young woman. She didn't look like the type of girl to roam this part of town. And she'd gotten out of a police cruiser.

Interesting.

[CrimsonMoon]

The girl meets his gaze with her green eyes before quickly flinching away and walking quickly toward him, mumbling a soft 'hi' to him. She was jumpy, but that was expected here... Though..... There was something off but you couldnt quite tell what...

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Hello," Eren replied, his voice a lot softer than the rest of him. Wow, did he really return the greeting? Normally he just nodded.

[CrimsonMoon]

She flashes him a brief smile, blinking as if suprised he bothered and walks quickly past. Nearly three yards ahead of him, there was a whistle and a group of boys exit a store. Staring lewdly at her.

The girl glances at them and quickly shies away, skipping away almost off the sidewalk

" Hey, hey, no need to be so shy girly, we just wanna talk~" one cooes

The girl mumbles something in reply but it was too inaudible to decipher..

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Eren had heard plenty of lewd talk and had seen men do worse. The streets were an unforgiving place, something he always reminded Calix.

He watched to see how the girl would handle herself. He couldn't imagine treating anyone that way, like an object or a piece of meat.

[CrimsonMoon]

She keeps walkin but seems to have slowed down, one of te boys coming up next to he and putting an arm around her waist, a little too bold of a move... They probably hadnt seen the cruiser," Where ya headed?" He asks

" No where," se answers softly, her voice blank yet low as if a little anxty

" You have to be going SOMEWHERE," he insists," But if you are going No where, you could always join me a my house~" he whispers something in her ear and the girl stiffens a bit, you could almost see something snap in her mind....

Less then a second later, the boy was on the ground, grabbing at his throat. Te sound of her punch snapping something seemed to cone after it happened, as if the speed of soud couldnt keep up with her strike... But by then, the girl was already booking it down the street, a damn could she move...(xD no mercy for the insolent)

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Eren's eyebrows rose at the sudden attack. So she wasn't just a little girl after all. She had training in self defense and fighting.

Pocketing his lighter, he strode on by the guys, after the girl.

[CrimsonMoon]

The 'little' girl eventually allows to a job, then to a walk, then stops and sits on j bench. She looked increasigly unhappy but leans back on the bench and closes her eyes tightly, coughing several times, coverjng her mouth with a hand. She slumps and takes out some headphones, putting them over her ears

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Eren approached then bench at a leisurely place. She wasn't looking his way, which gave him time to examine her with curiosity.

[CrimsonMoon]

She holds the headphones over her ears, seeing his large shadow and tensing a bit but not moving, she hummed along faitly with the song but looked like a cat with its hackles raised. Ready to flee or fight..

Bass thrummed softly from the headphones, while the high sound of what sounded like a tricked out violin trileld softly , muffled by her hands..

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Eren didn't try to grab her or anything, but merely sat down beside her on the bench.

[CrimsonMoon]

The girl winces a bit but relaxes slightly, after a long while, she offers him the headphones with a nervous smile

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Eren tilted his head slightly, but declined the offer, "I am not a big fan of music."

[CrimsonMoon]

" Oh," she shrugs faintly and claps it back over her ear again, glancing at the street as a car rolls past, she frowns faintly but doesnt say anything more

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

He pulled the lighter from his pocket and clicked it on, "What's your name?"

[CrimsonMoon]

She doesnt answer for anlong time, cloding her eyes and leaning back before murmuring," Why should i tell you? You're just like those boys... Part of a gang."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"I am, but how did you know that?" He arched an eyebrow, watching the flickering flame.

[CrimsonMoon]

" Because i'm one too, just more dangerous and less open about it," she mumbles, frowning," You're part of the new gang, arent you?"
