[Li-Na breathes a sigh of relief when the robot starts to disappear.
It does not make sense to her... but so much about her life since coming to
this city does not make sense to her anymore. As long as the robot is gone,
she is not going to question how, at least not right at this
moment.]
Yes, I am alright. And you? It did not hurt you?
[Cue the patented Li-Na Concern as she makes her way back to
Eren.]
[ not even bruised! his chest might still be pounding and so are his eardrums, but he breathes, taking a look at what’s left of his gun’s magazine before slipping it back into its holster. ]
Not a scratch. [ there’s no need for fretting! ] Lucky for us it didn’t start shooting things either.
[ he was going to anyway, but— military formalities are a go. no matter how young or old, she was still a young lady, and he was on duty (on his own accord, but on duty), so. respect. ]
Air Force. [ already an airman, two small banners across his uniform’s tank insignia. a long way to go, but. ] I’m with security forces since last month. K-9 unit.
[ patrol the base, patrol on his own accord, etc. he’s pretty proud of it, and seems to grow a few extra inches in height when he speaks of it— the air force and military work as a whole. ]
[ that— gets him to smile. this is actually his first grab of action at anything, even with saving people, or at least helping them. he’s glad that he can pass off that image without many resources. he just needs to get even better. he wants to do better. his sense of purpose never felt more alive.
he adjusts his beret as a gesture once he’s led her right to the door. ]

[
only because I had no idea how they'd beat it if it did start firing grenadesLi-Na gives him one more look from head to toe, making sure he really is okay. Then she gives him a grateful smile.]
Thank you for helping me. I do not know what I do otherwise.
no subject
[ helping people, all that. and now that they’re out of harm’s way, for now . . . ]
You live far from here? I can walk you home.
no subject
Not very far. I was close to home when it started following me.
[she points in the direction of Chiyo's house]
Please walk with me. I do not want to find more robots.

You are in the army?
no subject
[ even if titan wasn’t with him right now. ]
no subject
Canine? Oh, dogs! Then, you patrol the base?
[What little knowledge Li-Na has about any military comes from visiting the garrison in Hong Kong during annual open houses.]

The city and some events too, if they need us.

[they turn onto a residential street and Li-Na points to Chiyo's house down the block]
There is the house.

Have a safe night, Ms. Yao.

You too. No more fighting robots tonight, okay? One is enough.
