That's not something I would wish upon anyone. There are few fights more painful than those between the ones you once held dear. [ Eren looks down dejectedly. ] Though, if it must come to blows, I do not believe it would be correct to hesitate.
[ If it came down to picking sides...well, Eren wasn't really interested. Here he had no personal obligations. In fact, this cheap conversation right here was probably the most invested he's been thus far. It's a little concerning, and it shows on his face. ]
Olympia does seem more structured and what one might call "proper." If you're a veteran here, do these two factions often come to conflict with one another? Even to the point of taking up arms?
[ Because if that were to be the case, Eren disappointment would rise to new heights. ]
I've been here for months. Six or so? Almost? [Merlin shrugs; almost six months and he hasn't found a reason to favor one side more strongly than the other beyond where he wants to live. If that says more about him or the factions, he doesn't know.]
They haven't fought, at least not that I've seen. Before recently, they didn't even go near each other. Wouldn't say they're friendly, though.
Far from friendly. [ The news hit Eren in quite a particular part of him. The very same part that he had been so ready to discard in this new world. ] Sounds to me like they're just itching for a fight. And not the kind that starts and ends with one's fists.
[ It was a touchy kind of peace, then. Which was to say, the most common kind thereof. Eren, for what it's worth, has enough sense not to continue taking the cynical side in this conversation. It just wouldn't be right. ]
Well, it's best to have hope. If they can make amends with each other for what happened years ago, that would be leagues beyond what I've had to deal with in my own time.
