[Your scale is flawed and dumb, Jean. But his will to be an asshole about it dwindles incredibly fast, the game attempt at not-quite-rival banter abandoned almost immediately. Because they're both tired, and healing, and they'd been too preoccupied with near death experiences to see the planet blow but that doesn't mean it didn't happen, and there are two members of their squad still unaccounted for. Armin and Connie.
There's been no sign, so far. There's only so much he can do until he's allowed to be properly mobile. (They'll cover more and better ground with a bit of teamwork, coordination. It's a big ship. Things could and would fall through the cracks.) This is Armin and Connie, they've been missing too long already. So.]

Their personalities don't even come into the equation. ]
