I asked around like I said I would. Both the Coven and Sully seemed to believe mimics were nothing more than myths. Though Sully's more willing to believe in the stories than the witches.

Also, some of my friends showed up.

Don’t use her name. Do that delete thing from this message back. We’ll talk about it later.

[ he’s deleting this so he hopes it’s okay but hE DOESNT TRUST IT ANYMORE ELLIOT ]

How many?

Oh, sorry. I didn't know. [But he'll do just that. He won't question it. You live a couple months in hiding and you stop questioning paranoid moves like that]

Four of them. All from that military academy I told you about.

How’re they?

Oh it's a range. Some are adapting better than I did, and others.. well, they need a bit more time.

Once they're settled in, I'd love for you to meet them!

If I haven’t run into them by then. I met a lot of new people, but I’ll be ready when you are.

Speaking of that, I have someone from home, too.

Haha, that's true you might've. Well if you run into a Fie, Towa, Machias or Rean- that's them.

You do? Who is it?

My captain, Levi Ackerman. He came through the mirrors the same time I did.

He got sick. Bedridden and unconscious up until a few days ago.

Oh wow, that explains why I hadn't heard of him before. I hope he's feeling better.

Are you two close?

[He's a military brat, he knows there's differences in relationships there]

He doesn’t even look like he was sick.

I respect him. And I trust him.

[ . . . but probably not friend close ]

Haha, commanders tend to be like that. You wouldn't believe the stuff my dad's shrugged off.

As a captain?

As a captain. As a person, too.

Your dad’s a commander?

Sounds like a good guy to have around.

Oh, I didn't mention it? [No you didn't] Yeah. He commands the 4th Armored Division in the Imperial Army.

It’s just a little weird now.

That sounds really important.

Haha, yeah. I could understand why.

It is. A division is over ten thousand troops. Armored means they primarily use tanks, which... [how to describe it] Well, imagine a horseless carriage that's completely armored and has a cannon on the top. And the 4th is one of the best divisions in the country.

So...yeah. I'm pretty used to military commanders.

Probably not the reason you’re thinking.

Now I could see why you went to a military academy first.

What's the reason?

Yeah, it was his idea. Think he was hoping I'd follow in his footsteps.

Good that you didn’t. It’d be a gift thrown to waste.

The last time he saw me at home I was four years younger.

Awww. Yeah, I'm much happier being a musician.

[He's willing to fight in wars if he has to, but it's not where he wants to be]

Wait- what? The time gap between you two is THAT big?

Also, you were in the military at 15?

The limit was fifteen. We’d lose a lot of soldiers too fast back then, so they’d need more as soon as possible.

Too much happens in four years.

Sounds really rough... [Death rates so quick they had to lower the ages? That's extreme] I've heard of fighters that young or younger in certain groups, but they were exceptions to the rule. I think you have to be 17 or 18 to join the Imperial Army.

Yeah...I can imagine. I wouldn't even know where to begin catching someone up on four years of events.

That’s the thing. I don’t know if I should fill him in. I haven’t said anything about home.

[ it’s too . . . well what if he fucks something up huh, what then. he’s not the three eyed raven yet!! ]

That's...a good question.

Unless he asks, I say...don't. There's enough things to worry about without inviting more trouble.

Besides, it'd probably mess up the timeline or something once you got back.

Can’t have that.

[ which either says that no, he doesn’t want to fuck up the timeline, or mildly implies, if you squint, eren creating his own plans and keeping them from people. it’d fuck the timeline up for him, not so much anyone else.

he wouldn’t change anything until now, anyway. ]

Are you busy?

[Yeah AoT is messed up enough without getting time paradoxes involved.

And sure, Eren's not sharing details about what's going on in what he's thinking. Though Elliot doesn't feel compelled to pry. What went on in Eren's world seemed to be more his business. If he wanted to share, Elliot would listen. But there was no need to dig up information- he trusted Eren.

And this is why he keeps accidentally befriending terrorists]

Not really. Why?
