[The awkward is as plain as day on Elliot's face...and Crow would be lying if he said he didn't feel slightly responsible for that. Having to choose a side when you clearly just wanted to be a neutral party...
Well...
Elliot did tell him to be nicer.]
Heh...okay, okay, not /that/ bad.
Besides, you can't put your fiance up against me, that's not playing fair!
[ plus!!! elliot knows the truth!!! without it getting too mushy and close to the truth, just know that eren doesnāt want to see your pain. he wants to see your success!! success just takes pain to get to.
and, either wayā ]
Itās not like I want to eat you or something either.
[For a moment, Crow's not sure if he heard everything correctly. Eren's response was pretty run-of-the-mill to start. Contrary, but not to the point of pure agony. Insisting that Elliot have his opinion heard...
Crow's eyebrows do raise a bit at the eating bit, which was still kind of weird to think about...he'd rather not be considered a meal at all...
Then Elliot speaks, and if anything was going to shock him, it's what came out of his mouth. He'd expected Elliot to not want to take sides, but turns out, when you unleash the soft boy you gotta be prepared for sharp edges.
so much for using his own personal pain as a jokeā and a poorly placed joke, looks like. elliotās call out has erenās mouth hanging, just as silent as crow and staring, staring, staring.
his face goes bright red to purple in a matter of seconds, eyes glued to him. what beautiful honesty. thatās his man. heās not embarrassed, no, heāsā listen, eren jaegerās feelings about these things are not even complicated. theyāre simple. ]
[What do you even say, Elliot? WHAT DO YOU WANT HIM TO SAY?
Crow just...clears his throat, obviously having to be the most socially functioning one this evening.]
Heh, well this just became a pretty interesting Thanksgiving. Think I'll go check on your pups--they're...[Titan, Kaiser, please be somewhere not here so he can go check on you.]
Probably doing something.
[Eren looks like he's ready to explode so he'll just--]
Keep the glass in case you need a refill or something.
[He'll give a cheerful pat to Elliot's head before starting to make his way back to the house.]
[And there goes Crow, making a probably very wise escape. Boy, does he wish he could go with him. But he's nice enough to not try to make him stop either]
L-Later Crow...
[And then...there's this dude. His lovely fiance. Being a hot mess. ]
...Want me to drive you home so you don't have to face your inlaws like this...?
[You know, all hot and bothered and god knows what else]
[Aka NO JOKING ABOUT EATING OTHER GUESTS EREN. He'll lean over to kiss Eren's cheek quickly, reaching into Eren's jacket pocket as he does so to grab Eren's keys.]
Love you. Come inside when you're ready, okay?
[He puts Eren's keys into his own pocket and moves to get up]

Well, up to you Crow if you wanna meet him...
[it's ultimately up to Crow how much he's willing to gamble with this. He wouldn't say Levi is a terrible person but...yeah. he scares him a little]
no subject
[He swears, Eren gets off on it or something. His eyes close, breathing in the cold winter air as he tries to collect his thoughts.]
But you know what? Fine, I'll meet your buddy. Get a time and a place and I'll be there.
[He may or may not act like the most polite, responsible little shit in front of Levi just to piss Eren off. Blue ball his sadism.]
no subject
I donāt want to see you in pain. [ elliot, help him out here. he turns to his fiancĆ©. ] Do I want to see him in pain?

Uh....
[Hello darkness my old friend.
I've come to talk to you again.
Okay think of something]
N-No, I don't...think you do, but...
[God help him.]
W-Well, you two seem to have a different definition of pain, you know?

Really, Eren?
[He has such a look of disapproval right now.]
...Fine. I was trying to stay out of it, but my opinion is you act like a dick to Crow and I can't blame him for not trusting you.

He can only just watch in slight awe.
