Of course. I've been here since the start, so I have to make sure my power reflects that.

[Never mind the fact she lost basically all her magic when she died and came back.]

Come to think of it, you have too, right? How's your training coming along?

[rustyhonesty]

Well... I have learned most of the Summer abilities, except shapeshifting. I'm still working on those.

[It's what he's least interested in.]

Animal transformations are fine, but turning into other people? Not so much.

Ergh, I can imagine… reminds me of those earrings Riki sells. Tried them once as a kid and just ended up looking like Nii-San.

[Eva pulled a face. Turning out looking like the older brother she couldn’t stand was a terrible outcome in her mind, and she since stuffed those things in the back of the drawer and never touched them again.]

Not sure if becoming a stranger would be better or worse.

…Anyway, you’re not busy right now, right? I had an idea, if you’ve got time.

[rustyhonesty]

I've had to be a body double for someone back home, so I guess a part of me is reacting strong because of that.

[Even if he and Eren look nothing like each other, thank you very much.]

I'm not. What's up?

[onesurvived]

That sounds annoying. Some combat mission or whatever, I'm guessing?

[Even if he hadn't mentioned his past to her already, she at least made educated guesses that he was military in some capacity.

But more importantly... how to raise the matter? Especially as she was still uncertain whether she could really trust people, in a true sense.]

So, I don't know exactly how capable I am at this anymore, given it's only worked once since I came back. But, assuming you trust me even a little, we could see if we can get a weapon out of it?

[...Way to admit you trust someone whilst making it sound more like a business transaction, Eva!]

[rustyhonesty]

Mostly I was being used as a decoy, since the guy is too important to lose.

[He shrugs. He's actually made his peace with it, but it has to still somehow effect him, he supposed.

And that did sound like a business transaction.]

I do trust you. I'd be willing to do it.

[onesurvived]

And you're not??

[An indignant little huff that probably said more about Eva's warmth toward Jean than anything else.]

Let's give it a try, then. You're done handing in your quest right?
