It was late afternoon by the time they decided to head off. Eren had helped Petra sort and count the cherries they 'd collected, a basic task that gave his wings some much needed relief.

Even though he tried not to, Eren occasionally found the gentle nature of his body to be a hinderance. He didn 't think omegas weren 't seen as less than the other dynamics. Everyone has an important role to play, as Erwin often said. But even so, hearing someone claim that omegas

belonged

to the colony made Eren wonder about their true mentality.

Standing outside the storage hollow, Eren eyed the surrounding trees as he searched for a pair of black wings. Levi had come and gone while he was busy inside, the alpha 's mind alternating between wanting to escape the boring task to his desire to remain close by.
