--You've got to be shitting me.

[The camera shifts to reveal the the severe, tense expression of a young man trying to keep a grip on the white-hot rage he's currently feeling. He'll let himself deal with that later, once he's certain he can't return. From the looks of it, he's not used to handling this technology, but he doesn't let that deter him as he speaks, short and to the point.]

The pamphlet hardly offers any useful information, so if someone could fill me in more about the mechanics of this place.

[He'll just leave it at that. Any patience over pleasantries has long since disappeared.]

[And by this point she's fairly close to him.]

No. Eren came here a few hours after I did. Marco arrived a few days before you did. Although.... I should warn you that Marco.... doesn't remember... [How to put it...] his last actions...

[She just wonders how he'll react to hearing that.]

Jaeger's here? [Well didn't that just make his perfect day even more fantastic. It figured he would be here when he was needed elsewhere. He opens his mouth, about to go on a tirade, when he catches her next words.]

[Shit.]

Shit.

[He doesn't say anything for a while. He just clenches his eyes shut, looking somewhere in between screaming, laughing, or some wrong mix of the two. How was this in any way okay?]

...The fuck is wrong with this place.

[He shuts off the video and doesn't turn it on again for a minute or two. When he does, his voice is distant, careful, and flat.]

He's not going to.

How have the people here handled Jaeger?

[By then she's already reaching the Bay. She had a feeling he wouldn't take it too well but... at least he knew right now than later on. She finally saw him, walking towards him. Instead of wearing her normal gear, she was wearing a pair of boots, black winter leggings, and a light pink dress underneath her black winter coat. Coming from work meant that it wasn't a good idea to wear her gear.]

Everything is fine here. Eren hasn't really had to use his titan power here, which is good if you ask me... Although I did get him a katana for Christmas so that he had something at least.

[And then she paused for a moment before going on.]

But I think the better question right now is... How are you?

[One could say that was in general, but it was obvious she meant about learning about Marco. She knew how close he was to him, after all.]

[The first thing he noticed was Mikasa looked distinctively feminine. No, that wasn't the right word. Mikasa always looked feminine, whether she was fighting for her life and covered in sweat and blood, or wearing dresses and boots and other things that seemed like luxuries. It just took him back, is all, to when they (he) dreamt of silly things like success and wealth and Mikasa's hair was longer and Marco wasn't dead.

Speaking of Mikasa's hair.

He stared, not long enough to make it awkward, but enough to be noticeable.]

Fine by me. [He shrugged dismissively. If he didn't have to worry about Eren being able to control or not being able to control his titan power, it was one less thing to consider, however temporary.] What does he need a katana for? [Hopefully not to cut Mikasa's gorgeous hair.]

[He felt like laughing. He would have killed for this attention and concern, but instead he just shook his head, eyes tired.]

I can't wrap my head around it right now.

[That was the one thing that Mikasa hasn't really though about. How long her hair was getting again; though if Eren made a comment about it being too long, she'd probably cut it. She sometimes forgot that she really didn't need to wear her uniform here, but she was getting better at wearing more casual clothing as to reaching for her uniform out of habit.]

He didn't come with his gear and I know it's been bugging him. I know it's not quite the same as the blades we use, but... I figured it was better than nothing. As long as it keeps him from having to use his titan powers.

[Because she's not happy about hearing about some of his "new powers" that he's discovered.... She let out a small sigh.]

I understand. It doesn't help being taken to a strange new world. Seeming as Marco is alive and doesn't know about his fate, I think it's safe to tell you that time works differently here. I've been here for about five months now.

[He can agree. Offhandedly, he thought he should probably compliment her at some point, before Jaeger inevitably says something stupid. Not that his opinion held any weight when it came to a certain angry, bug-eyed titan shifter, but he still felt inclined to comment later.]

He shouldn't have to use his titan powers at all while he's here.

[Five months? He finds it impossible to imagine. But that would explain why this is the first time he's seen Mikasa looking this relaxed.

It's nice. He likes dwelling on this thought. It's easier to think about her getting a break than it is to think about Marco.]

So what've you been doing in the meantime?

[She's still getting used to that herself. It's strange not constantly fighting titans...]

No. I really hope he doesn't at all, to be honest. That's the last thing this place needs is for a "titan" to show up so suddenly.

Mostly working, but... I've actually had time to just... relax... It's strange, but not so bad.

Barring an extreme situation, there shouldn't be a reason for him to.

You look more relaxed. You look nice. [All articulation functions are betraying him. He averts his eyes, feeling like they're cadets again.] You always look nice I mean it's just. Nice to see you relaxed.

[And just like that, it's like back at home without the titans and threat of death. It's actually enough to make her chuckle very slightly under her breath.]

I've had time to relax a bit. It's.. nice. It's a chance to have some sort of life compared to back home.
