[Ridiculous. A turn of phrase that Aubrey's uppity friend disapproves of? That's what's grinding the iron gate closed? He feels like he could rip Mari apart.]

[Eren may not tell the entire truth until it's forced off his tongue, but he's in no position to lie either; not with Mari at the keys. What is there to lie about, anyway? It's almost a matter of pride at this point.
