Yeah, I got all that stuff! But so do monkeys!

[sugoooi]

[ Oh...shoot, that's right. Hrmm. ]

W-well! I know but--shush!

[garganteren]

No, I won't shush!

[Ha! He found the loophole in your logic, now he's going to look smug about it.]

We're a whole different species!

[sugoooi]

[ Oh my gosh Eren HOW PETTY ]

That doesn't even count!! Monkeys are totally different from people! Do you scratch your butt in public?!

[ Because apparently that's the defining criteria here... ]

[garganteren]

No, I don't! What's that got to do with it? Two species can be different and both not scratch their butts!

[sugoooi]

But monkeys always scratch their butts... It's on Youtube all the time.

--Look the point is I'm trying to say you're still human!! Okay?? Stop beating yourself up over having an extra gene.

[garganteren]

I don't watch Youtube.

No, I'm not human, and neither are you.

[sugoooi]

I am trying to cheer you up, stop arguing with me!!! Go and watch the monkeys and you'll see what I'm talking about!!

[garganteren]

No! I don't want to be cheered up, and I don't want to watch monkeys!

[sugoooi]

Everyone wants to watch monkeys...!

[garganteren]

You're wrong, because I don't!

[This argument is really getting intellectual.]

Why would I want to sit around and watch some stupid monkeys?

[He's actually indifferent to monkeys, but why's this mutant kid so into them?]

[sugoooi]

[ WOW this kid, and he's 16!!! He's just short. How rude. ]

Because they're funny! And cute! Haven't you ever seen a Slow Loris before?? They're so tiny!

[ He will get out his phone Eren don't you tempt him ]

[garganteren]

[Well, Eren is 14, but he's taller than him!!]

Monkeys are ugly, and they smell.

[He's just being difficult, but he pauses.]

No—what's that?

[sugoooi]

[ Have respect for your elders! ]

They do not--here, look! [ Let Sam just yank out his phone and fiddle with it for a moment, before triumphantly turning it towards Eren with this photo on display. ] It's super-cute, right??

SAM IS STILL THE ONE WHO'S CUTE

[garganteren]

[No he won't respect any mutant ever!]

Uh...

[Oh no, it really is cute. Damn it.]

It's okay... It's not a mutant, anyway. It's a normal animal, right?

THE LORIS IS CUTER!!

[sugoooi]

What if it was? You can't tell the difference right?? It's just tiny and precious! Being a mutant doesn't matter or not for it, because it's just happy to have rice balls to eat and spoons to hold! [ ...He was going somewhere with that. ]

...But yeah it is a normal animal. [ There was a point to all this, he swears. ]

they can be tied for cutest

[garganteren]

I can't tell the difference because I never heard of one of those.

I bet it's not going to kill people.

[Eren, stop making everything about killing people.]

It's... kind of cute. I guess!

[Fine, he'll admit it!]

hufff

[sugoooi]

Hah!!! Wrong, they are actually super-poisonous so they can kill people. And you called them cute!

[ DANGEROUS THINGS CAN BE CUTE HE...wins...or something. ]

I mean, it's only if you bother them and they bite you and stuff but still.

[garganteren]

[OH NO HE FELL FOR SAM'S CUNNING TRAP!!]

What? It is? If they're poisonous, then they should be kept away from people!

But I never said a mutant couldn't be cute!

[Wait...]

Not that they are!

[sugoooi]

Oho.... [ Sam looks incredibly satisfied here. ]

I see, I see~ That's how it is... [ Sam's conclusion: Eren is SHY and EMBARRASSED over being a mutant...he just needs help out of his shell. nd to be taught to love himself. ]

Anyway, it's not Lorises you have to worry about hurting people--they're endangered because people keep wrecking their habitats and stuff. They don't actually hunt people; they're scared of them.

[garganteren]

What's how it is?

[He frowns. HE'S NOT SHY AND EMBARRASSED SAM, YOU ARE SO WRONG.]

Well, if they're just normal animals like snakes, that's okay...

But they're not like mutants, then. They don't band together and try to kill people.

[sugoooi]

Yeah but regular people do that too. Don't worry, I don't think you'll kill anyone! I'm sure there's someone out there who thinks you're super-cute too~ [ Just like the Loris........... He's trying to reassure Eren that SOMEONE WILL ALWAYS LOVE HIM NO MATTER WHAT is it working yet. ]

[garganteren]

Yeah, they do... But it's different! They can do a lot more, because they have powers, which is my whole point.

And no—! No one thinks I'm cute! I'm not!

[THIS MUTANT GUY IS REALLY WEIRD. Eren is not touching the subject of whether he'd kill someone.]

I don't want to be cute.

[sugoooi]

[ NORMAL GUY. RUDE. ]

Every guy wants a pretty girl to think they're cute! Or...uh...another guy? That works too.

[garganteren]

[NO, HE IS SUPER WEIRD.]

What are you talking about? I don't want that at all, either way! I couldn't care less!

[Girl or guy, it doesn't matter to him! It's unimportant.]
