[ There's a cat in their rover. And it's meowing, and it seems to be kind of wet, and more importantly he's loud. Mikasa's had the misfortune of listening to the continuous wails of a young child before, but she'd be hard pressed to say which was more alarming.
Probably the child, but the fact is that there's a cat in their rover, apparently distressed, and she's not sure what to do. She's never particularly cared for animals, and it would be fairly easy for her to just shoo the little thing out, but the fact that he's in here probably means that he belongs to one of their rovermates. Just because she doesn't care for animals doesn't mean that she's inclined to be unnecessarily rude toward them.
She's resolved to just abandon the feline, grabbing her bag to walk out of the rover when the door opens for Eren to walk in. Mikasa makes as if to get his attention but ah, Mochi beats her to it with a particularly loud meow. ]

[Camp's a slimy and littered mess, lately. Trying to get just about anywhere means dodging the portals that keep opening up in the air, on the ground. And better to be careful, because you never know if falling into one will land you across the camp or across the continent or over the edge of a cliff or something.
And while the many and varied oddities that are strewn around the ground are enough to keep him busy and nosy for a while, the rovers seem to be mostly portal-free, at least. So he's not epxecting anything too weird when he opens the hatch.
What he gets instead, is a loud—if not threatening—meow.
