Point taken. [ He put one hand at his side and the other on his chin. ] Not hungry, then. What else...
[ Really, what else could there be? Making smalltalk with an animal...an animal? That thought was irritatingly confusing to him, to the point that he shifted in his boat seat before finally perking up with obvious inspiration. ]
That's it. [ His fist falls into his other hand like he's had an "aha!" moment. ] You must be antsy to get onto land, yes? Hold on, just a little further now.
[ And with that he begins rapidly paddling once again, this time aiming for the bank of the river. It shouldn't take long. ]
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. ]
Wouldn't that be nice? [ Eren's still making shitty jokes. He then shakes his head lightly. ] No, that's not how I was wounded. Maybe if we don't die on the way down, I'll tell you as we sit around a campfire.
[ Once that was said and done, he can't help but ponder. How do you tell someone the proper way to be useful in a situation like this? He could just...well. ]
Firstly, take the steering wheel in hand. Firmly. And I'm going to need you to fire at every object you see, barring our own friendly ships. [ Eren makes this face that's halfway between reassuring and grimacing, but all the same the intent is to urge his partner on. ] You can do that, right?
Then I would have more liberty on this here planet than I would at home. [ Eren makes a difficult expression. Maybe there's no expression at all. He probably looks constipated. ] I'm not sure whether that's a comforting thought or not.
[ And in response to the warning, Eren does nothing but aim his gun and fire, blasting the thing to smithereens. For how destructive it all is, his body language is surprisingly composed. ]
And how do you spend your days on the surface? Simply enjoying the small pleasures of life? Or is there some grander purpose to it all?
I'm grateful for the help. [ He really is. It doesn't quite show up on his stony face, however. ] Despite what you might think, I'm quite practiced with a spear. Though the weapon and the tool may be a little different.
[ He puts his hand up to his chin in thought for a few moments before looking up at the man sternly. ]
I'd like to give it a shot, at the very least.
[ And that's when it hits him just how huge this guy is. If human height and weight was a scale from one to ten, he was about a thirteen. Holy hell. ]
Though I figure a spare few fish would hardly make a meal for you. ...What in the world did your parents feed you as a child?
[ Most would be distressed at the sheer level of raw excitement exuding from Lancer. Eren? He was much the same. The speed was thrilling, but him being the way he is didn't make much of a show of it. He simply gives Lancer a more eased expression upon realizing he was, in fact, enjoying the whole process. ]
But given the circumstances, shouldn't this be a good thing? After all, we're trying to get down as many people as we can. The harder we work, the greater a reward there will be in the end, yes?
[ Of course, that was assuming there was a reward. There wasn't. Didn't stop Eren, though. ]
In which case... [ There was a long, laid-out path for them to follow on the map. Eren took one look at it and that was it. He aimed the ship directly at the planet, and upon doing so shot the whole hunk of metal towards the surface (much to the dismay of the passengers). ] We need to go even faster.

That was a frown if he ever saw one.
