[ That's what she wants, it's true. Annie can't see a better situation than if they were able to join up with someone scrambling to get themselves started, get in on the ground level, and get something done to fight this enemy. Miles is sharp, and he is in the ways that they don't have in their corner right now. With Armin out there, there was no telling when something might happen and none of them were strategically clever enough to counteract him.
Their only defense lay in taking action, and if they could do it while integrating themselves as part of a whole with a person that understood that way of thinking then it was all the better. More than that, however, is that Annie craves purpose. She's not a person that stays idle for any length of time. There was only one place where she felt like a real, living person and that was in combat.
This was nothing like properly fighting, but it still presented the start of a possible challenge. ]
You're not wrong, so we'll see if you work out.
[ There's a more lively way that she holds herself now, though it's a subtle change. An uncharitable comparison might be to a hunting dog aware it's about to get let off its leash, but she can hardly help that anticipatory feeling. They might yet obtain something they need for once. ]
