I should buuuut it's also kind of funny that he doesn't realize it. And if it's not hurting him...

I wonder how distantly they are related. If they knew each other at all I'm sure you'd know by now, so it must be very far apart.

Still! That means I'm going to have a high expectation of your skills, now. :)

He'll realize it one day and ask why you never told him.

I'll try not to show off too much.

Maybe I'll teach you a thing or two, too. Might come in handy.

[sunspotted]

I'm sure I'll figure out a way to make it up to him.

No, no, show off! Are you telling me you've matured so much you won't do backflips for show anymore? I'm teasing, by the way.

Please! Nothing too hard, though. You know I'm not as fast as Mikasa or you.

[ Marco was good at using the ODM, especially in maneuvering, but his big skill - assessment - was one he shared with Jean and wasn't as good at. He knew a lot of it had to do with his ability to work with various teams. It'd been why they'd even given him command of a temporary squad at all, despite there being six other higher ranked candidates. ]

[rustyhonesty]

I did say 'too much' didn't I? I still plan on showing off.

I know. But I do have some that work with your style more.

[sunspotted]

Well, now I'm definitely curious to see what you think works with the way I use ODM. We should have a proper practice session at some point!

Hm... It's too bad we don't have Titan targets here. And I wouldn't want to ask anybody who did have a titan form to let us practice on them :(

[rustyhonesty]

We can make similar practice dummies we had in trainee corps. It wouldn't be too hard.

But don't go wishing for titans. There's enough monsters around without then showing up.

[sunspotted]

Don't worry, the last thing I want is Titans showing up here. It sounds like the segments are dangerous enough without them roaming around!

Practice dummies might be a good idea, though.

[rustyhonesty]

I mean, we ended up fighting a giant sentient house once. And then there were frost giants and giant worms. Plenty of big things to worry about, even.

It's not my area of expertise, but I can see what I come up with.

[sunspotted]

A... giant sentient house? What the heck?!

[rustyhonesty]

Yeah, a house that moves on its own and tries to eat you. It even had arms. And a tongue made of rug.

I can't make this shit up. Eren, Armin and Reiner all experienced the same thing.

[sunspotted]

That sounds... terrifying. And yet I kind of want to see one. How did you end up 'killing' it?

[rustyhonesty]

With a lot of fire. We had three summer users, after all.

Reiner had his titan, but even that proved to break because of the dark energy affecting our abilities. But he manages to keep the house still for us to fry it.

[sunspotted]

Oh no.

You get how that's kind of funny, right.

You defeated the house by burning it down. You sent it up in flames. You house fired it.

[rustyhonesty]

[Really, Marco?]

I'm not talking to you anymore.
