„Can you tell me more about you?" he asked me softly.
„Sure... what would you like to know?" I asked him.
He was looking up, probably thinking about a question.
„Humm... well are you planing to try to receive the war-Hammer titan?" he asked me.
Woah this question was unexpected.
„Oh no... I don't think that it would be good if someone like me would receive the war-hammer titan." I laughed.
„Yeah. Well Colt wants to receive it. That's why he isn't here right now." Falco said.
Good to know...
I should better write this down later.
„Sounds interesting. Hey Falco how about you Tell me something about you." I suggested.
He nodded happily.
„I'm Falco Grice. Nine years old and I am friends with Gabi. Gabi Braun." He Said.
When I heard her last name I was chocking on something.
Braun? As in Reiner Braun?
Falco instantly gave me little hits on the back.
„Everything okay ms.Juliet?" he asked me.
„Yeah... It's nothing serious." I said, letting out a deep breath.
I can't see Reiner.
If he sees me he'll find out that I'm a spy.
„Does... does Gabi have a Family?" I asked Falco, trying to sound calm.
„Yeah... oh actually her cousin Reiner came back from this devils island. She actually has no siblings." Falco said.
I nodded slowly.
I have to write all of this down as fast as possible.
I have to tell my friends from paradis about it.
„Actually Falco I would like to write a letter to a friend... how does that work here in Libero?" I asked him.
„Oh that's easy. You can just write your letter I will do the rest for you." He Said.
„Thats actually really really nice from you." I smiled.
I grabbed my bag and took out my notebook and my pen, thinking about writing my letter.
„Who are you writing to?" Falco asked me curiously.
I took a deep breath, smiling and looking up to the ceiling.
„someone special..." I whispered.
„Hhh... Really? Whoooo?" Falco gasped.
„Romeo..." I whispered, smiling...
I was talking about Armin, of course.
But I'm not allowed to tell Falco anything.
„Romeo..? Hey actually there's this story about Romeo and Juliet.." Falco Said.
„I know... sounds crazy, right?" I giggled.
I smiled, but I think he was able to see the sadness fading into my face.
„Tell me something about Romeo..." Falco smiled gently.
„He was a good person... he had dreams... he had a good heart... he was into reading and learning..." I whispered dreamy.
„Sounds like You're in love with him." Falco chuckled.
„I think I am..." I mumbled.
A little tear rolled down my cheek.
I felt Falcos little warm hands gently wiping the tear away.
„You'll see him again... and you guys will end up happily together." he whispered.
„You remind me of him... you Are a sweetheart Falco..." I whispered back.
We were just sitting on my bed, no one talked.
It wasn't an awkward silence... we both knew that it's not time to talk.
Suddenly Falco stood up and went to the door.
„Where are you going?" I asked him.
„I'll give you time to write your letter. If you finished don't mind giving it to me." he smiled before leaving the room and closing the door.

„I don't deserve your kindness..." I whispered.

I started writing my letter to Armin.

Dear Romeo

It's me, Juliet.
I found a nice family here in libero.
I haven't slept last night, since I didn't have a place to sleep, but since this family adopted me in some way, I slept for a few hours.
I actually found some stuff out about weird Titans...
I can't write you what I heard, but I will tell you everything once we see each other again.
I think I'm safe with this family. They're pretty welcoming.
-Armin- I mean Romeo... thank you for writing me this letter....
Truth is... I admire your courage of telling me about your feelings.

I will come back to you.
I promise.

Love,
Juliet

This was the finished letter.
I wasn't able to write everything down.
If someone opens the letter I would be dead.
I ripped out the page and lay the letter on my beside table.

After that I walked out of my room and went to the living room sitting on the couch next to Falco.
„Finished your letter?" he asked me, playing with my hair.
I smiled goofily and grabbed both of his hands, making him giggle.
„I think I am." I said.
„Oh that's great. I could bring it to the mail box tomorrow before training." he explained.
I raised one eyebrow.
„Training?" I asked him, tilting my head.
„Oh Yeah. Just ahm because of the war or something. I don't really know to be honest." he answered quickly.

I think I should write this down too.
Thinking about writing things down, I should better go outside and listen to the strangers or ask some questions...

I stood up and looked over to Falco.
„Where are you going?" he asked me.
„I want to inquire about Libero." I answered, walking to the door.
„Okay. Can I come with you???" he asked me, jumping in front of me like a little child.
He is so adorable.
„Sure. Put on your shoes and we can go." I said smiling at him.

He ran into his room and instantly came back with a pair of light brown leathered shoes, which were overused.
„We can go!" he sang happily.
„Are you going to wear these shoes?" I asked him.
He looked down to them and nodded embarrassed.
I knew how he felt like.
When I was younger, captain Levi couldn't afford to buy me a new pair of shoes.
I was okay with it, I mean I was glad that he adopted me anyways.

I kneeled down to look at him in the eye.
„It's okay. When I was younger I didn't have any new shoes either." I whispered, rubbing his rosy cheeks.
He instantly smiled again.
I think he gets pretty comfortable with me.
„Let's go little one." I said as we walked out of the house.

We walked down the stairs and were in the little shop again.
„Slept well?" Falcos mother asked me, smiling softly.
„Yes. Mrs Grice I'm really thankful." I said, shaking her hand.
„Sweetheart I'm glad I could help you. I can't imagine how much you've suffered from living on your own." the woman said, smiling with a sad expression.
„Actually Juliet has a friend. Romeo." Falco interrupted the silence.
The mother looked at me totally confused...
