There is a pause on his end where he stops to frown over at Michel, who's sitting sullenly in his own corner of the cell. Luckily, Michel's still busy ignoring everyone else and doesn't notice a damn thing.
Maybe (?) surprisingly, he doesn't seem all that against the idea. Doublecrossing Arthur when he's offering help to stop his brother from being detained seems low, but Michel hasn't exactly been endearing himself to them the longer he's spent with them. He definitely confessed to taking the sun out, and planning something that could very well be worse. Letting him go free seems like the greater evil, here. But.]
nothing they've done here has been enough to get him to change it
[No amount of interrogation (or "interrogation") or threat of execution seems to have made a difference.]
the way things are now, he seems pretty willing to take the sun down with him if he dies
[And they can't let that happen. But if they've got a plan to force it, they'll have to try something different.]
[Having seen Michel only from a distance, she has nothing but Eren's words to go by and the impressions gained by the other ALASTAIR recruits, none of which skew remotely towards the positive. For good reason, apparently.]
We'll have to find a way to keep him alive long enough to free him from the guards' custody then.
How's everyone's condition?
[Are they going to have to start dragging emaciated bodies out of the cell?]
still alive. they're trying to get us to crack before they get rid of us.
[But they're alive, and they're not cracking, and that's the important part. Two weeks on shitty rations won't kill them. They can take a little roughing up. It sucks, but they're not weak. Thankfully (?) most of the ALASTAIR contingent in the cell are pretty hardy—and pretty honorable. They're helping each other survive when they need to.]
we can't do much to help from in here. they watch us pretty close. and whatever the barrier is, it's screwing with people.
[Even the stuff that isn't really magic. He wouldn't consider his healing factor or his shifting to be magic, but the barrier's taking it out all the same. (Like Hellboy's inhuman strengths, or maybe even Kida's crystal. But then, maybe it's all semantics, in the end.)]
[It's enough to steady her, give her faith that they'll make it out of this alive and whole.]
Do you think you could spread the message to everyone inside? There may not be much you can do but we'll be able to evacuate quicker if people are aware.
[Ah but—]
Though it would be best if you didn't change your outward behavior in any way.
[No point in giving the guards an early heads up.]
[soon enough to be encouraging, since time is pretty much of the essence. after two weeks of nothing, he's more than ready to do something about this.]
if anything happens in here I'll try to get it to you or the captain
[Hopefully if he can't someone else will. Better to keep both sides updated, but if they're lucky nothing will change for the worse before they can make a break for it.]

This time, there's no hesitation in her answer. He deserves to know, even if nothing might come out of it.]
There are some who think that capturing Michel and forcing him to restore the sun is our best course of action.

how much longer?
[Assuming they're far enough into planning to have an eta. It'll help more if they know when it's coming.]
no subject
No more than 24 hours. I'll message you again an hour before we start.
no subject
ok. I'll keep an eye out

Understood. I'll see you soon, Eren.
[and he'd better be in one piece when she does >:c!!!]
no subject
you too, ma'am.
[Thanks for the head's up. And the incoming rescue.]
