[For once, shit is going down and Eren isn't out in the middle of it. It's the middle of the "night," and he's been startled awake by the sound of something banging against the rover.

...who are we kidding. He doesn't. He's already preoccupied with pulling open the door to the rover by the time Mikasa warns him against it. And the warning doesn't stop him for more than a second or two, because it's obvious that something is going on, even if she won't tell him what. (And if it's dangerous— If Mikasa is out there—)
It's still dark. The light from the rover spills out behind him and before him, casting a long and narrow beam out into the camp. There are dark shapes on the blue shadows of the snow, broad strokes of gore spilled out in spatters. Fresh and visceral and very (very) red where they cross over into the light. He goes shock-still for a few seconds, fingers going too-tight on the frame of the door as the larger shapes resolve themselves into more familiar ones. (Arms, legs, faces—)
The shock only lasts a few seconds before it settles into something less paralyzing and more polarizing. He's seen this sort of thing before. He's seen it on Ajna before, during the lockdown, when they'd lost Sasha. He doesn't bother switching back to text, gritting his teeth and dropping down into the snow, scanning the darkness for any sign of whatever had done this. And for any sign of—]

Tell me a8out it, Eren. What it is you need to do.
[ To Vriska, Eren is a fascinating person. He's someone who gets pissed on her behalf when she's wronged or hurt, even when she brought it on herself - and he's someone who will unflinchingly tell her to counter poison the one who poisoned her first. He's ruthless, but in a baldly practical way she's just not used to. Especially because he isn't in any way a cruel or selfish person. Capable of viciousness? Sure. But fundamentally malicious?
It strikes her that he's probably the exact opposite. He reads to her very much like a genuinely good person. And that's what surprises her the most. That someone "good" can have no qualms with telling her to get potentially lethal revenge.
But then again, he's a survivor. Of course he'd tell her that.
So she's very curious to know just what it is - what kind of world, what kind of life - that builds a person like Eren Jaeger. ]

[He'd saved the city during the invasion of Trost, but it wasn't all his doing. It was Armin's plan, there were dozens of soldiers who sacrificed their lives in order for him to pull it off. (He'd nearly killed Mikasa in the process.) For every person who might consider him a hero or a savior there's another who considers him a liability, a threat, a monster.
It takes him a little while to figure a way to answer. Not because it's something he's overly conflicted about, but because typing it all out is still, y'know, sort of weird. But he's been here long enough to know that the situation back home is not a typical one. And that's not a bad thing by any means, but it does mean he's getting used to needing to (and mostly failing to) explain it. At least he's one of the few Shingekis who has little problem running his mouth about titans.]

[ Eren, why can't you listen just this once?
Though really, she knows that there's no chance. There's no chance that he'll sit inside contently when there's something, anything happening. All she can do is get to the rover before he wanders too far. Before he panics and takes action, before he wanders off and is gone from her. Stay at rover, Eren, please—
And she's hurrying as fast as she can through the general disarray of the camp. Gasps and screams at what's raining down on them, sounds of frustration and anger. It's too dark to see what's offering them this little present, and the light from the campfire only gives them sights of shadows. Something cold and wet plops down against her shoulder, but she pays it no mind. She's not here to mourn over the entrails of people that she barely knows. She's not here to worry about the delicacy of a deadman (so she's uncaring as her boot squelches over something unpleasant as she runs).
She's here to find Eren. To protect him. To stay with him.
It's not a surprise when she finds him hovering outside their rover, because she'd already known that he wouldn't stay inside. There's not even the slightest falter in her steps as she makes her way to him, not lessening her momentum in the least. ]
