[So this whole Telepathic Network thing was pretty cool, especially since it gave him ways to coordinate with the others in titan form. Or to get one of his friends' attention when they weren't in normal hearing range of each other. Like right now, for instance. Really this probably should have been private but considering Eren's only been around for a few days at this point he has no idea that's even a thing. Then again even if he did he probably still wouldn't have used it. He kind of forgot that everyone could hear this. Sorry, Armin.]

Armin, why didn't you tell me it's your birthday!?

Oh.

[Looooong pause.]

I don't really get it, but if you're his friend I'd like you to come.

[So he can silently judge you on whether or not you're good for his friend. Eren is essentially a wild animal, and while it mostly manifests as a feral ferocity towards his enemies it also means he's stupidly (over)protective of his "pack." ...It also means one of the best ways to earn his approval is to bring food. Good start Thorne!]

Well, you're new, right? Once you've infiltrated, you know what I mean.

So, uh, let me see if I can make that cake or otherwise con one of the food-making people to coming through for me and I'll be there.

[bite_the_hand]

I'd better, I'm getting really tired of hearing that.

[He's already gotten in so much shit from misunderstandings around Infiltrating.]

But... Thank you. I know that kind of stuff doesn't mean as much here as it did back home, but you're still going through a lot of trouble for my friend.

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeah, I bet. And like I said before, he's sort of my pseudo-brother anyway. Because we were Jaunt-siblings. So of course I'm going to make a cake. Birthdays need cakes.

... I might not do candles, though. Sorry.

[bite_the_hand]

It'll be the first birthday that I can remember where any of us get to have cake for... a really long time. I don't think he'll care much if you can't find any candles.

[Which is completely the wrong assumption that he's jumped to but maybe it's best to leave it at that for now.]
