[Mikasa never makes network posts these days, in fact it's like she almost likes to pretend that she's not even here. So uh, today is an extremely special case, apparently, because she's making this.]

So, there's another Jean around now too, not that mine's gone anywhere but this one's ... Different.

[Yes, mine, she's that type who loves repeating that about anything that she consideres as hers, not her problem if anyone hearing it doesn't like her style. Moving on...

Instead of explaining what he's like or what he looks like in her own words, she livestreams for a little while. It begins from when he's still pointing his weapon at her and her asking him who he is in a tone similar to like she could be talking about weather. And then his answer is this even if the words most likely only make sense to anyone from the same world as her or who know things about Titan Hell though some of it is unfamiliar to Mikasa too. Eldian? Also yes, he has a different last name. Weird.

But the point is that he says those things before he attacks her and Mikasa ends the livestream there. Clearly having a normal time here then considering how Jean is usually yelling at anyone who might even accidentally hurt her or whatever else that people shoudn't do to his girlfriend.]

Mght want to be careful if you run into him [warrior jean, that is] and before anyone asks, yes, I'm fine.

[ There's a brief, startled silence. Then he speaks up more quietly. ]

Mikasa. That's not what I meant, and I think you know that. Do you want to come talk to me for a little bit?

[ Welcome to Jean's girlfriend being a hell to deal with. ]

Sure, I can do that. Where are you? [She'll rather talk anywhere outside the network anyway. No comment on the other thing, but yes, yes she knows that.]

[He gives her a visual stream of an open stretch of hall where some pipes come down, out in liminal space proper.]

Will that do? Or would you rather I came to you?

Yeah, that's ... enough, fine, however one's supposed to say it. I'll be there soon.

[ And whatever he'll be expecting to see, maybe it's not Mikasa in a pink dress and her long hair on a braid with flower decorations on it and all the girly everything. Then again it's not that different from how she tends to wear here sometimes, so maybe it's not that surprising either.

Too bad it doesn't help with her social skills, so she'll be an awkward penguin with those especially because she snapped... not that her snapping is anything unusual.]

[ Shiro's waiting, crowd-watching, tense in his black and white armor, though he's not wearing the helmet at the moment. His arms are folded across his chest almost defensively, stance wide and grounded. He mostly looks like a vaguely antsy brick wall.]

[He is not, in fact, expecting the dress, but he does drop his arms and set one hand on his hip instead, visibly opening up his posture. He nods solemnly.]

Hello Mikasa. I wasn't trying to insinuate that I know Jean better than you - no one knows him better than you. But I also think that you knew that when I said it. So I'm trying to figure out if I misstepped somewhere along the line in the past, or if it's more that you're worried and afraid of what this means and I happened to be the person who caught the whiplash.

Jean is one of my closest friends. And you're the person he loves most in all the worlds. I don't want to be on bad terms if I can help it. But I'm going to need a little help here.
