[ Later, Eren will get invested in some side characters and their subplot because he's not as invested in these men and their bullshit, but…later.
For now, he considers the way people, even in fiction, blind themselves to the truth. It's the only way to get through some things, isn't it? You hide the truth from yourself, convince yourself the world is a certain way. Better to do that yourself than have someone else force a world view on you.
Is this about the show? Hm. ]
I'm just telling you because you should try the things in this world, as long as you're here.
[ Eren doesn't know how to do normal people things, but he likes trying food. It's not much of a hobby, and he doesn't go insane with it or whatever. He hasn't actually tried these flavours of ice cream. He just heard they exist, and some of them sound wild.
He's still not sure what a marshmallow actually is, so "rocky road" can't make sense to him.
He moves to stand. He could get the tea. He knows how Levi drinks his tea; they spent enough time together, a million years ago in the beginning. He retained more than how to scrub a floor.
He has to bite his lip to keep from trying to argue about it, tell Levi to sit down, he'll get it. If he was hurt, he wouldn't want help, either. Whether it's pride or routine or just not wanting to feel useless, it doesn't matter. He can't keep Levi from pushing himself any more than Levi can keep him from running off recklessly into a firefight when one inevitably comes. They are still who they are.
So he deals with it, stares back at the moving pictures without bothering to see them, listening more to the sounds of the captain moving into the kitchen, in case he has to go help anyway. ]
