FROM: jaeger.eren@cdc.org where've you been
[Hadn't seen her in ages, before they'd left for the mission.]
[ That's a little better. Though it does make her realize it sure has been one hell of a while since they spoke last. Time sure flies when you're having questionable levels of fun. ]
FROM: misaka.mikoto@cdc.org aw, did you miss me? don't worry, I've been around and don't plan on going anywhere else yet. since I haven't seen you lately, you were on those missions, right?
[Yeah, "fun." Sorry, Mikoto, you know what a ball of sunshine Eren is on a good day. People going missing is never good news, even if it's just stasis. (Sometimes they just never wake up.) So yeah, he'd missed her, noticed she wasn't around.]
[ Oh, she's aware. Eren would be the most serious person she knows if it weren't for Mikasa, but only by a margin. But that doesn't keep Mikoto from being herself—you know, the girl who likes to pretend there isn't much wrong with herself even when she is fully aware of what's going on. ]
FROM: misaka.mikoto@cdc.org yeah, good to hear. in one piece too I'd hope, but since you're responding the chances of that sound good to me.
[ Well, I mean... she did kinda have to drag you out of a burning basket..... and sorta had to watch you electrocute yourself with a thunderbolt... so you know. ]
FROM: misaka.mikoto@cdc.org I hope you're not just saying that, but for now I'll take your word for it. whatevers going on around here I don't think I want to get involved.
FROM: jaeger.eren@cdc.org we're all involved in this whether we like it or not
[They're all here under the thumb of the CDC. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to the list. The only real conclusion to draw is that this is meant as a display of power. That it doesn't directly affect him doesn't mean a damn thing.]
FROM: misaka.mikoto@cdc.org throw punishments around for some arbitrary reason? yeah, I know.
FROM: misaka.mikoto@cdc.org don't get the wrong idea. I'm not that heartless of a girl, you know.
FROM: misaka.mikoto@cdc.org I'll even confess that I have a bad temper sometimes over things like this. it's not one of my better traits, but it gets me going when I could do something about it too
FROM: misaka.mikoto@cdc.org but if I tried anything now because they don't deserve whatevers coming for them, that'd just be stupid. even a level five like me can't do anything for them now
FROM: misaka.mikoto@cdc.org I'm not a selfless hero who will risk everything I have in an instant, so I won't interfere when nothing will come out of it

[ ... Well, this is just her guess, anyway. She's no cat expert, but boy would she dote all over one. ]
FROM misaka.mikoto@cdc.org give it a good rub of the face and it'll be happy again. you should see about getting it fed, too.
[Mikoto, you underestimate Eren's ability to piss people/animals/various sentient and nonsentient beings off. And Eren's ability to conduct himself in the most casually disastrous way possible.
