[ that was faster than he expected, but some team effort pays out in the end. eren's smile was already beginning when he sees her, some pull of relief that plays on his lips there too, and then it can't help but grow just a touch wider when his shoulder gets the bunt of her fist.
eren's hands plant on both her shoulders, briefly for a moment, but he looks reassured just by seeing the beam on her face. ]
You look like you're taking this better than I am.
[ everyone is probably taking this better than eren— extra things on his mind, and all. his hands fall back once he gives her shoulders a squeeze. ]
[ She's a little embarrassed, now, but Historia is still wearing a smile on her face. She hadn't been taking things well either, to be honest, until she realized that she wasn't alone in Noctium.
She's been told that the world back home has been frozen in time, though she's still not sure whether to believe it... but if it's true, that means she doesn't have to worry about Paradis. At least not for now.
At the same time though, the thought that she might not ever get to go home... Well. ]
[ well, that's— yeah, embarrassing, but on a different front. if eren's ears had gone a little red, he hadn't realized it. but his smile is small and quick to it, lowering his head and making to turn it, ]
I want to show you something.
[ eren unceremoniously takes her dainty wrist and starts walking in the direction he came from. hopefully, her steps could keep up with his. ]
Historia's curiosity is piqued as she tries to figure out what it could be that Eren wants to show her. Luckily, she's just about able to keep up with him. ]
I wonder what it could be...?
[ She assumes it's meant to be a surprise, so she doesn't ask. ]
[ eren doesn't say it yet, a sign that maybe it was a little bit of a surprise he was okay with sharing with her. he'd been upset for most of his stay up until now and the dark pit inside him would sometimes pull him into a space he had desperate trouble getting out of, but eren makes a small effort in seeing historia with a wondrous smile rather than a tearful cry. he's stopped right in front of the open arcade by now, and from where they stand, its dark interior flickers brightly with neon colors, 8-bit sounds and animated screens of moving pictures. ]
They're games.
[ . . . even if his efforts are awkward and lack that sort of bright eyed passion he used to have, he's trying. ]
