rustyhonesty: (Neutral)

It's definitely not something they usually do, but it makes sense in the context. So Jean bumps his knuckles against Annie's before parting ways. Even if it was to pretend, it still felt kind of nice to have something like that.

Some time goes by as they settle in. Jean finds Marlowe ridiculous with his sense of rightfulness and wanting to right the wrongs in the Military Police. In a way, it reminds him of how Marco would have probably been like. It doesn't help how he feels about Marlowe. It mostly twists a knife in the wound.

After a week has passed, Jean receives a letter from Bertholdt. It's not weird to get letters from your former classmates, after all. On the surface it looks like a normal 'how things are going in the corps letter', but Annie and Jean would know how to read the real meaning behind it.

They decide to meet up, somewhere private and quiet, so Jean can give her the letter.

"Bertholdt sent you well wishes, too. I think he was too shy to sent it straight to you."

Well, Jean had kept a connection to Reiner and Bertholdt, by hanging out with all the 104th guys occasionally, while Annie made a point not to interact with them much. So it made sense that way that the letter was addressed to Jean instead of Annie.

He did also get a letter from Connie and Sasha, but that hadn't been important.
