I swear every time she's around, the room lights up from the dreading depression, that everyone wore on their faces. To be honest I'm not that easily annoyed with them, except Levi. It's funny to even watch those two interact sometimes.

"Section Commander Hanji?" Eren breaths out in shock, not expecting her at all.

Sending him a smile, "hello Eren...in the event you haven't pieced it together yet," they began. "It's my job to spearhead the Scout Regiment's research efforts. Essentially, I poke and prod our captive Titan specimens. I'd very much like your help."

The boy raises a look of confusion, "My help? In what way?" he asks, leaning more forward with interest. "Like, what would I have to do?"

"Join me, of course!" She exclaims, seeing a hot feverish glance of wonder in her eyes. "On a quest of scientific discovery!"

He looks at them with concern, "Well, uh....I'm happy to help," being the polite boy he is. "Except I'm afraid it's not up to me. I'm under close restrictions by order of the higher ups, you see."

Hanji turns to me and Levi, "Akira, Levi, what's on the docket for him tomorrow?!"

Smirking I lean against my palm, with my elbow upon the table with amusement.

"Clearing out all the weeds," Levi replies, not really liking the idea of Eren ditching cleaning duties. 

"Excellent, then! It's cinched!" she takes Eren's hand. "Young man, tomorrow will be grand."

"Uh....'kay...but, uh..." stammering over his words, I blow a strand of hair from my face from boredom. "....just so I'm clear, what exactly will I be doing?"

She hums in question.

"Are you running experiments or something?" He asks, knowing fell he's gotta get a handful of her chattering. 

She gazes at him with excitement, "Ah, I knew it....." while I knew there was no backing out. "...you possess a singularly curious mind, don't you?"

With that being said I push myself from the table, following with Levi and everyone else not wanting to go through with what we endured before. I give Eren a quick apologetic glance, heading out making my way back to my room.
