Summary
“I don’t suppose you need help getting there?” Armin said. His gaze fixed on Jean again, watching for a reaction. His eyes were a stark cornflower blue. “I was actually planning on making the trip myself.”
Really? Jean wanted to say. The journey between regions wasn’t the safest, and Armin—a good few inches shorter than Jean was, thin as a rail, and with hands marked only by the callouses of penmanship—looked like he wouldn’t survive more than a day outside the guarded walls of a city.
He couldn’t disguise the incredulous rise in his voice, but he did say, “Oh, what for?” He grinned. “Planning on joining the King’s Guard yourself?”
(Medieval Fantasy AU: Armin wants to find his friends who went missing from Shiganshina some months ago. Jean wants to finish his knighthood training in the capital, where he stands the greatest chance of joining the King's Guard. He needs a navigator, and Armin needs an escort, so it's a good thing they're both going in the same direction.)
