SHE'S NEXT TO ME

I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU GUYS THE SAME THING IF YOU'D WANT TO
[ almost too big, but it's not as if they've had so many luxuries in life like these that are suddenly being given. he could type out his suspicions, but . . . maybe now's not the right time for that. ]
( does Eren's belated SEE YOU earn a small smile? yes. is Armin particularly confident he and Mikasa will arrive any time soon? no.
thus Armin idles about the embassy lobby, alternating between any demonstrations available to the gembonded and new discoveries to be made of his network device. his eye is ever trained on the entrance, however, and his friends are always an easy find. Armin stands on the balls of his feet, waving. )
[ truth: it have taken some time to get there, sadly, armin is correct, but it hadn't taken as long as it could've all thanks to rey for showing eren what a GPS was. following it coherently enough was another story, hence: they are as tardy as armin estimates. eren looks up from his device, possibly having mikasa guide him from running into (another) pole and pockets as soon as armin's voice connects with seeing him. ]
[They were a mess, but they'd made it. Mikasa didn't even know about the GPS function, she'd been told there was maps but she'd not worked out how to use that yet. There was so many buttons to press and she had no idea what she was doing. So she left the phone navigating to Eren. Occasionally grabbing his sleeve to tug him out of the way. Other times asking some random passerby if the Embassy was 'that way'.
The combination got them there eventually.
She doesn't speak when she sees Armin, but she did pause. Lifting an arm to wave. Hi. Then she's grabbing Eren by the sleeve again, dragging him over. Hurry plz, so they can all be together again. Your normal walking speed is too slow Eren.]

( unfortunately, Armin's texting lacks the any cue to indicate his relief, much less that he is smiling. )
I'm at the embassy right now. They said there are houses big enough for each of us to have our own room.

Do you or Mikasa know the way back?

[ and about ten minutes after, belatedly and because he thought too much to send it: ]
