[He no more understands Warriorhead than she does. If anything, this decision only knocks him further for a loop. He grids his teeth together for a few seconds as she presses him for detail. It seems like it ought to be obvious, and his building discomfort isn't helping him articulate it. It isn't quite panic, but he's nowhere near settled with the turn of events.]

[That this isn't a war, that he needs to disguise which side he's on. Warriorhead seems to be very aware of just how Eren feels about the CDC. (And just how shit he can be at keeping a lid on it.) Putting him in a leadership position is just about as far from lying low as it gets.
He's not the type to be cool under pressure or to weigh the good and the bad of a course of action before taking it. And he knows that. Anyone who's spoken to him for more than a few seconds knows that. (And if he hadn't let his emotions cloud his judgment, maybe Armin wouldn't have been the only survivor from his squad in Trost. Maybe the Special Operations Squad would still be alive.)
There's a pause, like he's thinking about going on. But instead of getting into it.]
yeah....
