[It's hard to tell if Eren turned his device on by accident or on purpose. He seems pretty zoned out, not even looking at the camera.]

I hit my commanding officer off a motorized bike with a soccer ball.

Comments

[humanities_greatest]

Probably not. I can come to you if you so wish.

[titanocidal]

[A nod.]

I'll see you soon then.

[humanities_greatest]

Where am I meeting you? You didn't tell me where to go.

[titanocidal]

Ah- Right. My head isn't on right. I'm a little nervous.

[This is kind of a big deal for him.]

I'm in my room now....

[humanities_greatest]

I will be there in a bit.

[And she isn't lying. She cuts off the feed and in a few minutes she's knocking on his door.]

[titanocidal]

[Eren's room looks a lot like his childhood home. No- perhaps it was better to say that it feels like it. Same flooring, same walls, different setup. The modern niceties that Wonderland provided are scattered about the room in ways that seem slightly jarring. By the nightstand, Connie Crab's makeshift crab hut is placed.

Eren opens the door, looking around to make sure Integra is the only one in the hall before letting her in.]

Lady Hellsing. [He nods, unsure of how to start things off. Should he just jump into it, or...?]

[humanities_greatest]

[She could sense how nervous he was and without any hesitation, she pulled a chair.]

You might as well come out with it. There no point hiding things from me.

[titanocidal]

[Eren doesn't move to sit down. Once the door is closed, he leans his back against the door frame, staying a good distance away from Integra.]

I'm only telling you this because I trust you.

And because it's probably going to come out eventually anyway.... [What with Annie here, and all. He'd also seen the uh. "Dean post" that went up on the network a while ago. He knows what sort of people reside here.]

You also don't seem like the type who would instantly hate me, if I told you how messed up I really am. I'm not normal, at all.

[humanities_greatest]

[Yeah, she's sitting on the edge of the chair now watching him.]

Go on. [What the hell did Levi not tell her...]

[titanocidal]

Captain Levi told you all about Titans, right? They're monsters. Murderous monsters who eat people. I don't think there's anyone around who hates them more than I do. When I was younger, they broke through the walls of Shinganshina. My mom, she-

[He cuts off there. Telling her about his history and why he hated the titans so much was only a way of stalling, wasn't it? It wasn't time for that.

No guts, no glory, Eren. Here we go:]

I can turn into one of them.

[humanities_greatest]

[Integra was silent for a moment letting Eren's words sink in. So he could turn into a titan. Well, that was quite the information. What the hell was Levi thinking?]

Do you know why?

[titanocidal]

[He tries to pick up on how she feels about this from the tone of her voice. She seems to be taking this alright? He thinks?]

Sort of. Not entirely. [He looks away, crossing his arms over his chest.]

My dad has something to do with it.

[humanities_greatest]

[So he can turn into one of those monsters and his dad is responsible for it. Well, Eren. Your dad is an asshole. She leans back in her chair no longer looking at him.]

Can you control it?

[titanocidal]

Yeah. I don't always remember everything that happened while I was in titan form, when I come to though.

-But! I've never eaten anyone. I'm not like them! [He's pretty quick to make that clear. He doesn't want her getting the wrong impression, after all.]

[humanities_greatest]

[Rest assured, she doesn't hate you. She senses that's what you're worried about so let her just get to her feet and rest a hand on your shoulder.]

I appreciate the trust you have in me, Eren. Rest assured, this doesn't change my opinion on you.

[It is alarming but that's just typical of her. The people she gets along with end up being monsters. She has issues.]

[titanocidal]

[He doesn't realize how tense his shoulders where until he feels them relax under Integra's touch.]

Thanks... [He manages a smile.]

That really does mean a lot.

[humanities_greatest]

[She doesn't remove her hand. You're so confusing, Eren.]

I'm not sure why you take me with such high esteem. We've only just met Eren and I assure you that I am not a good person.

[titanocidal]

[Had they just met? Really? ...Now that he thinks about it, it really has only been two or three weeks since he showed up here.

He lets out a light, breathy chuckle.]

Must be the past week's events messing with my head. I feel like I've known you a lot longer.

[humanities_greatest]

Indeed. Unfortunately, that girl was not the real me. I hope we get to know each other.
