[Those who know Jean might notice the shadows under his eyes and the fact that he doesn't look...particularly emotive about anything right now. Those who don't know Jean, hi.]

When I decided to use the Dream Docks, I thought I was only going to be there for a week. I didn't expect it to last over a month. But the city's still standing, so I guess I didn't miss much.

Still fucking weird as ever, though.

[Filtered to Mikasa]

Uhm, Mikasa... [And any confidence he had is gone. He's nervous and regretful, and he has no idea how to make it up.] Sorry. I just wanted to see what was happening on our world.

Are you--

Can we--

Can I come over? I get it if you don't want me to.

[Because it feels weird not asking after just disappearing like that.]

I know I didn't talk to you that much for a while. How've you been? Just going to say this once and then move on. Sorry for the way I've acted...and everything. I'm surprised you haven't punched me in the face.

My absence was irresponsible, and seeing as you're running for Guardian, this might be a shit time to ask. But I want to know whether or not it's possible to have my job back.

[She did say she loves him. But that he's important enough that she'd disregard her duty just to find him still makes him blush.]

Should I...go? Somewhere. When do you get off?

Oh I....

[As much as she knows she should get back to work, she wanted to stay with him right now. She should be acting like an adult and getting back to work, but honestly...? She also figured that David would be the one who'd push her to go spend time with him... Maybe...]

Uhm... No... it's.. okay. I was actually... just finishing up anyways. I'm sure David wouldn't mind.

[Although, the next day she'd have to try to help him with Guardian campaigning...]

[He tries not to look too happy about that, but there's a hint of a smile.]

Where do you want to go?

[After a moment of thinking, she gave him a small smile it return as she took his hand in hers.]

Well.... I don't know about you, but I could go for some coffee.

[He laughs. It's kind of strained, like he hasn't used his voice for that in a while. Well, he was in the Dream Docks for over a month.]

Coffee sounds good.

[There were things that Mikasa had to tell him about, if he didn't already hear about them, but she'll tackle one challenge after another. It was possible that he'd already found out about Marco by now, but if he hasn't, than she was going to have to let him know before he actually went home.

Walking towards the coffee shop that they'd normally gone to.]

You know.... I went to the Dream Docks myself, but I wasn't gone for too long.

[For lack of any other conversationable starter ideas at the moment.]

[He glances at her uncertainly, before resolving to do it and tries to put an arm around her and pull her close to him.]

Then you have some idea of what's going on in our world. What was the last thing you saw?

[At least she's gotten better at closer contact, because when he pulled her close, she cuddled to him as they walked.]

Yeah. We just returned to Wall Maria to get Eren to the basement in question.

[He lightly leans against her, eyes flickering down to look at her lashes, the slope of her nose, everything.]

We're at the same point. I can't believe we're actually trying to go through with it. It happened so fast.

And with all of the things that happened since remembering the rest of the stuff.... It really just.... makes me feel less and less confident that we'll really save humanity.... the rate things are going...

Yeah... But they had to make the decision to go out before it was too late. At this point it already might be, but we can't do much besides try to plan and fight.

There's not much more we can really do. Meanwhile the world is still shitting on the people keeping them safe..... Good to see nothing has changed.

[That still pisses her off....]

They're afraid. Most of them, anyway, the rest are just assholes. I don't know if that's going to change if we do happen to be successful.

I seriously doubt it. Just imagine if all of us went on strike and left titans in their capable hands.... It would be an interesting sight to see as they beg for our help in the end, but even if I doubt we'll ever really get rid of all of the titans, I don't wish to risk massacring more of humanity that is actually still around.

I'd rather as few humans die as possible. Maybe I should say as few civilians. Soldiers are going to die, and even if we try to minimize that, it's not guaranteed. But not only would sacrificing humanity be wrong, it would be a waste if by some off chance we do win.

[But this was supposed to be a nice reunion so... Dropping her irritation of humanity for now....]

Well, there's not much we can do about it here.
