Porco: What're you saying? That Eren's here in the left wing?!
Yuna: Yes, I'm sure of it.
Gritting his teeth, Porco looks ahead to hide his vexation.
Aware how suspicious it will be if he tries to intervene now, he forces himself to wait for an opportunity to slip away.
However, he is also left with the problem of being entrusted with you. Debating whether protecting you in Marcel's stead is more important than hurrying along their mission, Porco is at a loss of what to do.
Porco: Tsk...!
Careful you don't hear, he cusses as he hopes the others are capable enough without him.
After an unusually peaceful period, sure enough, something out of the corner of your eye snatches your focus.
Noticing you looking toward the formation, Porco follows your gaze to black smoke signals rising on the opposite side.
Yuna: Why are there so many?
As they spread further into the formation, a sickening feeling overcomes you.
Impulsively squeezing your fingers around the reins, your eyes hollow.
Yuna: That's where Armin is...
Anticipating your next move, Porco hurriedly guides his horse over and grabs your reins just as you go to break away.
Porco: What the hell are you thinking?! You don't have permission to break formation!
Yuna: Let go! I'm going to see if they're okay!
Porco: And then what? Get in the way? What difference could you possibly make?!
Refusing to let you get caught up in your own personal problems, Porco yells words of wisdom.
Porco: Armin's not going to fight any better with you there. At least he can focus on protecting himself for now.
Disappointed with how right he is, your hands loosen. Seeing you've settled down, Porco let's go of your reins.
Porco: The right wing can handle it themselves. If we were to run into the same problem here, they'd expect no different.
Acknowledging how irrational your mindset has been, you take a leaf from Porco and embrace your duty as a soldier.
Despite continuing to watch the smoke signals from the other wing, you continued on course with Porco for another couple of hours.
Eventually, the Titan forest becomes your next obstacle. Seeing the centre row entering the forest on a path, you cluelessly question what's really happened to the formation.
Yuna: Are we supposed to go through?
Scanning around, Porco then sees some other scouts heading up along the tree line.
Porco: We'll go around.
After following them up a little ways, they suddenly stop and wave you over.
Dismounting, you're shocked to be informed you're entering ambush formation. Ordered to draw your swords and prevent any titans from entering the forest, you join the others on standby.
Connie: H-Hey... We don't have to fight them right?
Porco: No, only keep them out. There's too many to engage.
While titans crowd around trying to climb up, you nervously strain your eyes down the line for Armin or anyone else you may know.
