I can't do that.


No offense, but I really don't have the time to fight somebody else's fights. They are fighting just against other people, right? Why can't they just end it with one big strike or make some sort of compromise if both sides are too weak to do something like that? [Moderation. He's good at it.]

[diedforyoursins]

It is not against other people. The Witches are monsters who want only for destruction. There is no hope of compromise, and they are too strong to be defeated so easily.

If your concern is pressing matters in your own world, then at the very least, you can relax. Time does not pass for us in our own worlds while we are here. Whenever you are sent home, for whatever reason, it will be to the same moment you left from.

[He grimaces. Wow, really? You expect him to believe this kind of BS placation?]

So I get to risk my neck for others like some last minute bought war dog? You can take that idea and ram that right up your ass. Either I get what I want as well, or I'm not moving a muscle for them!

[diedforyoursins]

[if he just looks perplexed for a moment, well...maybe it's still just a bit strange to him that humans are oftentimes so against helping others if they don't get anything in return.]

You do not have to fight. No one will force you to, and you may live as peacefully as is possible here in the meantime if that is what you would like, with all the necessities for living paid for by Shibusen. But there really is no way to be sent home any sooner besides bringing the war to an end. You could wait around and hope that BREW decides to return you, but the only active role one can play in returning is to fight.

adadsasd that wording out of all the things! |D

[Eren bristles as if Kaworu had just physically wronged his mother.

As if he'd ever stay in some allotted little patch like some sheep!]

Then I'll fight, but not for them! We'll see how they like that!

sorry for late, otakon happened ._.

[diedforyoursins]

[that is...not the response he had been looking for.]

You do not mean for the Witches, I hope?

[everylastone]

[Eren growls under his breath, ready to march off.]

If it has to be!

[diedforyoursins]

[for a guy that came across as so serene and gentle, his expression turns dark pretty fast at that.]

That is a dangerous thing to be saying. I can forgive you for the moment because I do not think you fully understand what you are suggesting, but I can promise that I would put you down myself if you became a threat to humanity.

[everylastone]

[If Eren notices that sudden change of mood then it doesn't seem to even surprise him.]

You're welcome to try it. For someone claiming to care about the fate of humanity you guys sure do it a good lot well by stealing the people who are needed to fight for it elsewhere and then insisting keeping them here even if they won't help you out!

[diedforyoursins]

It was an accident, and I am no more involved with it than you are. If you must resent Shibusen for their mistakes, then fine. But do not put all the innocent people in this world at risk because of it. The Witches want only destruction and chaos, reaching far beyond the simple defeat of this city. They would destroy everything, and you are suggesting helping them out of a petty grudge against an extremely small part of this world's population.

[everylastone]

[The temptation to punch Kaworu for what matters more than anything else to him a 'petty grudge' is high, but somehow Eren manages to resist it, albeit barely.]

If this extremely small part is carelessly causing the extinction of the human race and not giving a damn about it then they can go to hell in a hand-basket for all I care, and everybody who sides with them as well!

People have died to give us this chance that's being so casually ruined here!

[diedforyoursins]

[good thing you didn't, last time someone tried he almost broke their arm.]

Have you been listening at all? They have not caused this. They are the one force with any chance of saving humanity here.

[everylastone]

[Eren bristles for a moment longer, eyes turning wide and fists clenched tight, before he abruptly turns away with a look of disgust.

Starting fights was against the rules and he would not soil his squad's reputation by ignoring them just because he was here.]

You know what? I'm done with this. There's no point arguing with a fanatic. You're just as bad as those wall-loving freaks.

[diedforyoursins]

[ok so maybe he is kind of a huge humanity fanboy but wow eren there's no need to be rude about it.]

"Wall-loving"...?

[everylastone]

[Luckily or unluckily Eren doesn't feel like stopping to explain the insult to him as he stalks off. Kaworu will have to ask again at a later time if he really wants to know about it.

Which might be for the best, knowing Eren's temper once it gets going.]
