[ ha ha, optimism.

good one. ]

I guess I can do that.

[ it's hard when you're used to your entire life sucking shit. if anything could ever make him into an optimist, though, it's getting Erwin back.

he holds him a little tighter. ]

I never want you to be in that much pain again.

[theomachy]

We can both do that.

[ firmly. he believes it wholeheartedly.

but they do have the boon of erwin being back from the dead, so maybe it does make sense to be optimistic. ]

Even if I do lose it again, it's probably going to be the same as getting it back while I sleep.

[ quietly, like he's trying to reassure him. ]

But we're not going to think about that right now because we're going to do things that require two arms.

[dirtdevil]

[ so there'd just be... a discarded arm, in the same way as there's an entire discarded Erwin? yeesh. it beats having it eaten, at least.

he's just going to keep that thought in his head. ]

Well, to be fair, I've already been doing things with two arms. You want me to tie one behind my back for awhile to even it out?

[ it's a joke, of course, but he can't pretend he wouldn't happily do it if Erwin actually said yes. what a sucker. ]

[theomachy]

[ yeah, that concept isn't ideal. but it being better than being eaten is definitely true. for sure.

he raises an eyebrow at the joke, giving a little snort afterward. genuine amusement, fond as anything. ]

My ego's delicate, you'd immediately be better than me at doing things one handed.

[ teasing. ]
