[ Alex stares at him, actually quite surprised. That switches to a smile as she picks at her food. ]
You know, I think you’re the first person I’ve spoken to that’s said that. Everyone else seems to be taking this pretty well. I was starting to wonder if I had missed something.
[ eren's eyes squint and his brows pinch in a way that says really in an incredulous gesture without having to put tone into it. but then again . . . the last piece of his bread is popped into his mouth. ]
Maybe they're used to it, [ his shoulder rolls, ] or just want to pretend it's alright.
[ either or, but, it wasn't much of his business. it just makes him wonder. he's such a speck in the vast universe. ]
[ that’s another way of looking at it, and— color him surprised. it’s an appreciative thought. it even makes him reconsider . . . hm. ]
I might not be able to help with a lot, [ like technology or the location, or anything else along those lines, ] but if you need to be somewhere around here, I can bring you there.
[ he is trying his best and that earns a star somewhere. maybe. he’s trying to say he can bodyguard. ]
[ She’s not really sure what he means by bringing her somewhere, tilting her head in confusion. Oh, did he mean to escort her or something? She chuckles warmly, not expecting such an offer. ]
I’d like that, actually.
[ Even if she might not take the escorting part seriously, getting to know him would be nice, she thinks. ]

Maybe we’ll get used to it too then.
[ A change of mood might be best. ]
When I do, I’d like to return the favor some day. Ah, I’m Alex, by the way.

Eren. [ he's . . . so awkward, ] Thanks for the bread.
[ no one else had come to talk to him, neither did they offer him food. ]
What kind of favor?
no subject
[ She touches her chin thoughtfully. ]
Anything that I might be able to help you with. And if you’re not sure, it’s okay to ask me anyway.

Even if I’m not the best company.
