[ If being by his side through the entirety of her military training and most of her deployment didn't teach her that, than the years Mikasa spent fostered in his household certainly did.
He can grouse as much as she wants. She's staying firm on this. ]
[ You want to fight, Eren? You want to dance? You want to meet outside the flag pole after the last bell has rung and see, once and for all, who is the true alpha in this relationship? Well and good, because Mikasa has one last weapon up her sleeves. Blue eyes white dragon!! ]
Carla told me to keep you safe I don't know how to do that if you're always running off into unknown territory
you're overreacting. we can't even leave the city.
[How far into "unknown territory" does she think he's going to get without warning? He's not stupid or irresponsible enough to try to make it through the woods or across the water alone and unannounced. The city isn't that big. It'll start feeling suffocatingly small sooner rather than later.
And if she's expecting him to fold because she played the Dead Mom card, she's got another thing coming. Eren loved his mother, very bitterly regrets that the last thing he'd done before she died was argue with her. That doesn't mean he's going to let Mikasa use her as an excuse for weird lifelong promises of loyalty and devotion. He doesn't want that, either. (He didn't save her life when they met so she could dedicate it to him.)
So he very deliberately does not address it, save to grind his teeth and remind her—]
I told you to cut that out. I'm not your kid brother or your responsibility. worry about what's going on around here instead.
[the sooner they figure it out, the sooner they can put a stop to it. the sooner they can—theoretically—get back home to their own war.]

I told you to cut that out. [It's not like he doesn't know what's going on, here.] I can handle it. You don't need to be keeping tabs on me.
no subject
this is a new place, with new rules. we haven't learned them yet. you can't go charging in recklessly here.
[ So, yes. She totally does need to keep tabs on you. ]
no subject
we won't figure any of this out if we just stick to ourselves
no subject
I'm not saying you can only talk to me
I just don't think it's good to keep splitting up like this
no subject
you can't just follow me everywhere
[Even if she'd rather try. (This isn't a challenge, for the record.)]
no subject
not when you're making it this difficult
