[Wow, Eren really did put a lot of thought into it. Elliot's pretty impressed. There's a pause as he thinks it over and sorts out his own thoughts.]
I see...so that's how you see him.
It's not that I disagree, I actually agree with a lot of this...but I don't think he's trying to get attention. If anything, I think he's just lonely. He's from out of town like I am, but he doesn't have any family in the area and I'm pretty sure he lives alone too. It'd explain why he took to the idea of Class VII so fast.
[Honestly, he had expected more push-back, more resistance. Crow instead had welcomed him with open arms. But at the same time, he could relate to Crow's situation. He was an extrovert too. When he was lonely or nervous, he tried harder to make friends. He just did it more gently than a friendly big dog.
He's not surprised Eren would refer to it as "clowning or being a dunce". Eren was never a people's person really. ]
Though you know...you could tell him this instead of always acting like you hate him.
[ he would call prostitution jokes about giving head a lot more than clowning, but—he won’t disagree. that was a more compassionate way to word things, but not unlike each other, eren thinks.
but. about that. ]
I can’t do that. He’ll mount on me for good and flunk the course. I don’t want him to fail.
Have you seen how many classes he skips? Tests he cheats on? Tests he doesn’t even study for. His curriculum’s going to be subpar and If I didn’t push him to at least have study sessions who knows how many classes he’d skid by in.
If I don’t remind him to eat something every three hours, he lives on coffee, Elliot.
[ eren sends a page from one of his notebooks, and seriously try not to look beyond that because there are memory notes littered with arrows and stars to indicate what comes from who. ]

And here I thought we weren't ready to discuss kids.
no subject
Like having real kids?
[ or, you know, just get a dog or a robot ]
no subject
No, no real kids. It was a joke, Eren.
I was saying that you act like Crow's your kid or something.
no subject
[ . . . ]
If having a kid feels any way like I just remembered, I don’t want one.
[ he REALLY hopes he doesn’t remember something like mom and dad conceiving him or something because
holding babies is bad enough ]
no subject
Did you just remember having a kid???
