Well... no. Pointers might be appreciated, but I've been assured that I won't need to use it unless Akechi-kun becomes incapacitated, and I don't intend to let that happen.

Thank you for letting me know. I'll open my mind to all possibilities of ways we could be messed with, or not. Unfortunately, the unknown factor only makes the scientist in me more eager to go and see for myself.
I'll be careful, though. And the dagger will be good backup to have just in case. So truly, thank you.
Don't think I didn't notice you side stepping my dinner invitation...
I understand. It's so different from your reality, it may always feel a little jarring and even selfish. But that doesn't mean you don't deserve to enjoy it.
[This is a "mind over matter" issue, certainly; Eren knows very well that food is plentiful and affordable here, and he feeds Maruki all the time - in fact, owns a food service business now, and...still, even given all of that...]
Croissants are my favorite, but they aren't exactly a meal. I like fruit too. Strawberries.
Anything with meat is good. Beef, maybe. Having anything like that was a big luxury back home, even before the wall fell.
[ The immediate impulse to brush it off and say that's unnecessary gets checked, for once. A keen awareness of his own hypocrisy is starting to become tiring. ]
Thank you!
My favorite fruits are apples, if you have anything with those. Otherwise, I'm not picky at all, as you know.
[ fuckin s t a r e s at the minor mess made of the castle kitchen, between Zazie's meat flights and his own cognitive psience theorizing spirals. Papers everywhere. Damn bitch, you live like this? ]

I've entered the Labyrinth twice now, and didn't have to fight either time. You should be prepared for something worse.
no subject
How much worse?

But the last time I went - that's when I lived my future firsthand. I'll never be the same now. You need to be prepared for something like that.
Others have warned more about magic than enemies - like a fucked up library where the books can kill you if you don't find the right one in time.

Shut up. It's not that.
I'm not going to say no to free food.
no subject
Any requests? Please don't say "no, anything is fine, I don't care." I get enough of that from Vash and Akechi-kun.
cw: food insecurity
[That is what he would have said, but...
[If anyone, he can explain to Maruki, right? It feels...embarrassing, but...]
I've been here a while, but I'm still not used to really having a choice.
It feels greedy to ask for something specific.

Is that enough?

[ Seriously, it's like pulling teeth with everyone but Zazie to learn their preferences. ]
Have you had a croissant sandwich yet? I'm getting ideas...

Alright. Just tell me when to come by.

Ah, is tomorrow okay?

no subject
If you want him to? I was thinking we could just hang out.
Ah, unless that's weird...
no subject
It's weird if we aren't friends. Are we friends?
no subject
Outside of my capacity as your counselor... I'd like it if we were friends, yes. Although I understand it may seem strange.
What do you think?
no subject
We're friends. That's fine with me.
no subject
Noted. Friends, then.
See you tomorrow.
