Used to. [ very matter of fact, with a now open bottle to his lips and tilting his head back for a gulp. he’ll offer her an unopened bottle himself. ] And there’s no one in there when it was around.
[ eren takes another gulp, and rather suddenly, something changes: the wall behind him starts to appear bit by bit. he’s transparent. you can actually see right through him. ]
[ Natalia nods at his words and she takes the water bottle herself, opening it right up until...
He turns... transparent? She barely hears the second part because she is so alarmed right now. She looks down at the water and then she's going to throw the opened bottle she has in hand at him. Because wow, you should purify ghosts and she doesn't want it in hand - ]
[ eren spits out whatever’s still in his mouth in a spray because how do you yell and throw things at him like that. he’s transparent looking, but not intangible, so that water very easily bonks him on the head and there goes the water. ]
[ that’s hen he finally looks at himself and thinks: what the fuck. the water gets thrown and, very quickly, he turns around because yes he certainly is going to force himself to vomit in a corner. emergency rejection maneuvers! luckily, it’s all just water and a little bit of bile, and he was sure to sprint to the other side of the cart to do it, but—
breathing hard, he holds his hands up. he could see natalia right through them. ]
[ ah, quick, think, think, this is so freaky— eren isn’t that good with impromptu plans, but he does try to remember training, anything in survival or otherwise that could be useful. it felt like he could disappear any second now.
uh—
he shuffles around things in the cart, desperately, until he can use anything to tie his wrist. once the knot is done and he’s secure, he hands it to natalia.
. . . yeah he didn’t think he’d be the freak on the leash BUT ITS THE ONLY THING HE COULD THINK OF ]
[ don’t. mention this to anyone. eren’s expression is an odd mixture of awkward and worry trying to stay calm, looking at his transparent hands and making sure that he’s holding the inside of the makeshift rope. ]
Okay— [ breathe, jaeger. ] Let’s get out of here. [ lesson learned. do not eat or drink anything from down here, ever. ] Everything in there’s probably— altered.
[ natalia please do not tell elliot about this. these are safety measures. not. taking your cousin’s hunk german boyfriend out for a walk in the tunnel. ]
We’re closer to Central, I think.
[ he can’t tell completely, but he knows it’s a little after the carts. ] It’ll take longer if we go back— why are you enjoying this?

I could be disappearing, Natalia!!

You still feel perfectly solid though, and it's probably better to laugh than panic, right?
[ . . . And this is fun ]
