Her head hurt and her body ached, but she wasn't going to let that get in the way of what she had planned for today. It was a beautiful day outside, and she wasn't gonna allow it to be wasted sitting inside and moping about. Doctors orders, yeah, please. A little concussion wasn't gonna get in her way. She had a child for hawk's sake—she could do anything she set her mind to now. Even making amends with the person in the world who despised her the most. Compared to childbirth, this would be like taking candy from a- oh, yeah.
She cleared her throat and recovered her poise, leaning forwards just slightly enough to knock on the girl's door before returning to her original position. She had been spending a lot of time with Levi lately, so she prayed that he wasn't in there with her. Yea, that would be bad. However, that wouldn't stop her, oh golly gee no it wouldn't.

Seconds after the door had been knocked on, you could hear somebody flop out of bed with a loud "Ow!" Moments later, that same person stumbles up and too her door, swinging it open with one hand on the door frame. Those revealed all of her glory, tangled hair that cascaded down to her shoulders (considering Levi had been around and was making her actually care for it it was becoming longer). One strand of the ombre tinted hair curled around her ear, another falling down into her face. It probably would've been longer had she brushed out, but the girl had been sleeping before Doff knocked on her door. She was also wearing a simple shirt that exposed her belly, a crop top if you will, and some shorts (Mikasa was seen wearing this in the Jean OVA). Her brown eyes(they were actually brown this time compared to the dark black they would be when around Doff) narrowed at the sight of the girl and she stood back to her full height, chewing the inside of her lip with one brow raised and her arms across her chest. "Aren't you supposed to be in bed?" She asked, rather unamused.

Miss United States right there, folks. In all her glory! "Good morning, sunshine!" She hummed, closing her eyes and smiling. Supposed to be in bed? Sheesh. "I've dealt with worse, my head ain't gonna kill me; it's gotta wait in line for a looong while first." She hummed lightly before moving her hands to usher the girl away. Her eyes glimmered with a childlike youth, something incredibly rare amongst everybody these days. Her head was throbbing in her skull, but she hid it with all her might. Nothing was gonna mess this up; certainly not her. Instead of making things worse like she usually did, she was going to take a stand and make things right for once. "Now, shoo, go make yourself look presentable! Big day ahead of us today!"

She rolled her eyes, leading against the door frame. "Unless you wanna end up with seizures, I'd suggest going back to bed." Pebble knew all about that crap. Seizures. She shuddered at the thought before realizing what Doff said. "Yeah, no. You may have a big day today, but me? I plan on sleeping. So whatever you're planning, get Armin or Levi to do it. If you ask Levi, tell him I sent you." She growled. Unlike Doff, she was pretty well dead. Bags under her eyes, dulled eyes. Her jaws gaped in a yawn before she continued her glares down at Doff. The heck was she planning?

Yeah, yeah, whatever. She rolled her eyes and adjusted her weight to contrapposto, crossing her arms across her chest as she listened to the girls excuses, waiting until she was finished ranting. "Nonsense! That's as stupid as a viola with an E string! if I wanted to hang out with Armin or Levi, I would of went to Armin or Levi. We've eighteen years to make up, Savannah; that's a full childhood, damg it!" she rushed her speech, slurring a few words in the process. "Besides, sleep is for the weak! If anybody is weak, it certainly ain't you—I've witnessed that firsthand, so go get dressed. I'll be waiting for you out here." and with a grin, she ushered Pebble forwards, jumped backwards, and gave a cheeky little how before shutting the door. Moments later, though, she knocked on it once more and spoke, "And stay out of bed! Don't keep me waiting!" and with that, she walked back a few feet, settling down on the ground waiting, twiddling with a piece of grass in her hand.

She tensed when Doff called her by her actual name, lip curling back a bit before she was suddenly ushered into her bed room. She sighed, hearing the door close. She had to check on Gus anyways. She quickly got ready, brushing her hair out so it cascaded to where her bra strap would be and put her cape on. Huh. Smelt a bit... clean. Levi had been here. She smiled a bit st the thought before slipping her harness and stuff on under her cape and then putting her boots on. She looked at the 3DMG but thought better of it, opening the door and walking right out. "Whatever you have planned, I'm not doing it." She grumbled back to Doff before leaving the house and walking towards the stables where Gus was kept. Surely nobody had already fed him, right? Maybe she could take him for a ride and escape Doff.

She jumped to her feet as she emerged, hardly caring as she walked past her. Doff quickly hopped up to her feet, tossing the grass to the ground and quickly catching up. "We'll see about that." she could have everything in the world planned, so no matter how hard she tried, everything Pebble did could of been planned for her. Planned for her to not do her plans. Planned for her to go to the stables. Oh, yeah, also planned on her to beat her ass for being too annoying. Yup, all planned! There was no escaping. It was like Hotel Plan-ifornia. Had this of not been the future of their friendship, Doff would probably be evil cackling right now. Uncontrollably. All planned, of course.
Now roleplayer Doff didn't even know what the hawk she was saying anymore, so back to Doff. She slowed down her pace as she caught up to the girl, remaining a few feet away, still sparing her her personal space. She didn't want to annoy her with too much conversation, but yet the awkward silence didn't help at all. She honestly had no clue what to bring up: certainly nothing about their relationship with each other. She didn't wanna bother with that just yet, but anything else seemed irrelevant in her eyes. Last time she had tried to fill a silence like this, she had made a cool of herself in front of Armin. Which led to a kiss. Which led to this whole mess with pebble in the first place. No way would saying anything dumb would result in a kiss, but rather just jump that step and move straight to opening another damged can of worms.
"So, uh.. Not hyped about what I've got planned for today, huh?" she stumbled, forcing her voice flat and a smile to remain on her face. "I'm sure I could change that!" why do you even try, doff

"Seriously," She tripped in a bump but quickly regained her balance at this. "You're really annoying. Give it up. We aren't kids any more. You're a mother, rejected poor Armin trying to propose to you basically twice now, and have head trauma." She snuffed. "And I'm, in a committed relationship and slowly going insane and drowning in clean supplies." She added with a small huff of laughter. Upon making her way into the stables, she looked at Gus. The old boy. He was 15 years now. She wanted to retire him but... her gaze drifted to a palomino mare that nobody ever rode. A back up horse, y'know. Candy, was her name. While Doff rammbled, plans for the next thread wandered into her mind.

"You're right. We aren't children anymore, so we're honestly being fools holding onto a grudge for this long. Sometimes we oughta just forgive and forget, but like I said, it's been eighteen years and we still bicker like fools. Es ist Quatsch!" she let out a sigh, listening to her continue, but freezing, eyes growing huge. The girl immediately turned her head to face Pebble, surprise radiating off of her. "Excuse me, slow down.. What did you say..?" she stammered. Armin had tried to..? Wait, when?? This was new to her; she had been unaware of his intentions both times. Had she just forgotten this, or had she never known? "You're trying to tell me that Armin... my Armin tried to- he, he tried to.. Me? T-twice!? Did I... Did I forget this or something? Did I say no?" o hawk. She barely noticed the fact that they made it to the stables, and just self consciously gravitated towards the overo. He was a great horse... She hated to have to retire him soon, but that was the least concern in her mind right now, but instead still attempting to wrap the whole Armin thing around her.

Pebble looked at her, eyes narrowed before deciding it was best left unsaid. "Uh... yeah, you rejected him the first time and the second time you uh... he never got to ask because you were just so busy and then you hit your head." Half truths. A terrible habit she had picked up from her. Pebble sighed, giving Gus a little pat on the nose before sliding on over to the palomino. Breaking a horse... fun. She used to do that at the scouts. Break the horses. She shook her head, entering the stall and putting a halter in the calm creature.

She stood there for a moment, jaw gaping as she tried to muster up words to speak and gather her thoughts. Her silence was broken with a simple, voice cracked "Oh.. Did I...? I don't.. I guess I did. I guess I..." she chewed on her gums before another question came racing out if her mouth; a dire attempt to change the subject. "SO, uh, speaking of Levi.." she started before suddenly realizing that she had nothing to say about him. "Things are... Uh, going well I assume? Clean I assume? Never seen your room as spick and span as it was this morning." she let loose an awkward chuckle at the end, watching as Pebble went to get the palomino mare. All according to plan, yup.

She looked at doff out of the corner of her eye, brows furrow in and eyes narrowing at her words as he backed out of the stall, Candy in hand. Instantly her mind wandered to two mornings ago and her face flushed bright red, however she decided why hide it? Doff had seen her blush plenty of times with her childhood "boyfriend." Who even was he? He liked telling very exaggerated stories, she knew that. Matt kinda reminded her of him. She shook her head, kind again wandering to Levi before back to the conversation at hand. "Uh... Yeah, yeah, we're going great! As I said, slowly drowning in cleaning liquids heh." Liquids, eh? Her face flushed even brighter before she shook her head, leading Candy out to tie her in the cross ties in the aisle, getting a brush and grooming to much off of her. Noticing a white spot, she raised a brow. Candy had been rode before... she was just gonna test it. "You uh... wanna try Agro out? Jean's getting a little old, don't ya think?" She asked, quickly changing the subject so she didn't have to think of what went down that morning.

Liquids. How specific. "You sure it's just cleaning liquids? You know, solids are good too: brooms, feather dusters, tags, mops... The list goes on." She joked with a chuckle, actually real this time and not forced. Man, if had been a while since she had actually seen her blush. She did blush around her old 'boyfriend.' Her old- remembrance hit her from that time, and she couldn't hold back the uncontrollable giggles that escaped from her maw. However, she wiped the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes and gasped in fake offense at Pebble's offer before bopping Jean on the nose. "You are not old!" but as she began to actually think about it, she had to admit that it was true. Jean was an old horse, and continuing to work him like she did was just... Too hard. Working him any more under saddle in general was honestly too much. As much as she hated to admit it, she needed a new horse.
"I mean, I guess I could." She replied. It felt wrong. Like she was cheating on Jean. 'It's not what it seems!!' she mentally yelled at Jean.

She glanced at Doff, rolling her eyes. "He'll appreciate it, the old man. You won't be carrying gear around on him anymore and he won't risk getting squished by a titan when we're scouting." She said, starting to tack Candy up. At first, she flicnhed, but quickly grew accustomed to it. It came to Pebble's attention that Candy had never seen a titan or had 3DMG flopping around her. Or guns. Meh. She'd have to get used to it, like they all did. She took the halter off and put the bridal on, moving out of the wah so Doff could get Agro out. "Why are you still bothering me? I had other plans ya'know." Did those plans include visiting Levi? Probably. Shut up. You're not helping yourself. She huffed a sigh, leaning against Candy to watch Doff tack up, to make sure she still knew how.

True that. Sighing, she quickly (and actually sadly) made her way to Agro's stall, tossing a halter on her (him?) and leading em out to crossties that were definitely there. She could feel Pebble watching her as she progressed to tack up the horse, which was enough to make the hair on the back of her neck stand up, but she ignored it and instead took a moment to think about what was thrown at her. "Bothering, huh? I like to see it more as friendly conversation." she suggested with a shrug of her shoulders. She kinda just sorta unintentionally avoided the question, but shh. "Oh yeah?" she began, taking a pause to quickly tighten the girth before continuing. "What sorta plans could possibly beat mine for the day?" man, she had to get a load of these.
