She wanted to cross the short distance to Eren, just around the table, and offer—whatever, paltry, halting comfort she could. But she couldn't reach him. And she didn't want to let her Bonded go—Kaede's hand stayed curled tight.
The Chimera's ears flicked back and her weight kept rocking forwards on her toes with each indecisive thought.]
