[Eren feels something cold and heavy settle in his gut. He might have known Kanoa was a god, but he's never talked like one before. He used to love humans more than anything, and now he talks about them as if they're "inconsequential". Eren's heard that before.]
I never claimed the contrary. Like I said, it's been four centuries since I was last here- I believe it would be more concerning if I didn't change in all that time.
[There's a wryness to his grin- a sharp edge tinged with amusement. So the human saw through him, that didn't mean he'd give him what he wanted. Of course had had to still play things safe for the sake of plausible deniability... but this was clearly turning into a sort of game to him.]
I think it's more a matter of just needing to get to know me again.
[It was all well and good right up until that last line. He resisted the desire to wrinkle his nose at the idea, but there was no hiding the uncertainty that crossed his face.
Well, if nothing else, Eren managed to wipe that shitty smirk off his face. So much for his little game.]
I would argue at the logic behind that given the time that's passed, but I suppose that would be more difficult for you given what comparatively little time has passed here... Still, I'm not the same person you knew before.
You may want to learn who I am now before making such bold proclamations.
Honestly, there's probably a lot you don't know about me too. [Or, at least, a lot of things he didn't have the ability to think critically about the last time Eren saw him.]
It doesn't matter, though.
I will get to know you again. That's because I love you.
Even if I end up hating you too, it can't change what's already happened. I'll love you forever now. [He says it as if it were a little sigh. Nothing to be done. He sips his tea again.] That's just the way it is.

You've changed. Lie all you want, but I see you.
Kanoa...
While you're here, just be. Drop the shitty mask.

You're right about that. And I will.
It's not so easy. I get it.
[. . .
[There's no reason not to say it. He'd never deny it. Kanoa should know.]
I love you anyway. That won't change.
Basically the same tag but in more words

I'll admit it's been many years since I last lived among them, I've nearly forgotten what it's like.
