—Oh. Hah, yeah, of course. [There’s an “I knew that” in the tone, but that is patent bullshit and does not make it to words.]
[It’s a bittersweet compliment, all context considered. Aubrey can’t say she’d want to be someone to come home to, not if that homecoming was always a roulette. The idea of being that important to someone, though, to Eren—it excites her all the same.] …Thanks.
[She leans just a bit closer into him.] You’d be a catch where I’m from, too, I guess. [The last two words are a tease; the rest of the sentiment, very much not. It’s funny to think of Eren, ever-deadpan stoic Eren, as some leather-studded badboy. Not like that describes him in another universe or anything.] Anyone would be lucky to have you.
