[ okay. now eren rolls his eyes, immediately correcting him. ]

Elliot can take care of himself, that’s not why I—

[ there’s a minute where he does glance at the ear too, because he’s pretty sure he’s probably the only person who can grow things back around here, but uh. it’s pointy.

so, back to the elliot, gar he swears to god you’re roasting him. ]

I wasn’t harassing him, he’s just never had someone question him before. Did you see what he wrote on the network a few days ago? “Let’s go look for problems”? [ eren makes a sound— there is a logical reason he’s acting this way, his own security based career included and he’d be a shitty airman if he let young citizens think that. there’s also a memory involved but he won’t talk about that now, he’ll say it later, but bottom line: he cares. ] Let’s go look for a deathwish, you mean.
