[Frieda's eyes had been transfixed on the gigantic fighters, and when she turns her head at Mikasa's answer (which puts a damper on her hopeful enthusiasm!), the sight of her uniform catches her by surprise.
She dislikes the Survey Corps. As a child it upset her to hear her father and uncle talk about how many on them died again on the latest given expedition, but she could still understand their wish to see the outside world. Once she inherited her ancestors' memories, however, the entire military branch became a thorn in her side. Finally understanding the walls' purpose, she felt an old upset and irritation whenever she thought of them. Why do you leave the walls I raised to protect you? Is this paradise not enough for you?]
...
Are the monsters out there that frightful?
[At first, she thought that the other girl had to be a new arrival from Paradis Island if she was still wearing the uniform rather than something more casual, perhaps not having had the time to buy clothes locally yet... but her confident assessment regarding the monsters makes that unlikely, doesn't it? (Besides, the people who join the Survey Corps are exactly the kind who'd wear their uniform all over the place even in another world.) Given the diversity in powers sported by the otherworlder population, she can't even argue against what the sullen girl said.]
I suppose you're right, though. I heard that there are even deities among the otherworlders.
[Something else bothers Frieda, though. In the short exchange of words, a series of small but rapid memory snippets flashed in front of her... and while she won't be able to identify Mikasa as a member of the Ackerman clan by looks alone, her Azumabito heritage is plain to see. That's... troublesome.]
