I know you're not.
[ Eren isn't either, but what can they do now? Just wait until he gets home. If he gets home.
He's gonna get home, it's fine.
For now they can distract themselves with ice cream. It's just plain chocolate, but who needs some weird complicated thing when chocolate ice cream exists anyway?
He's got bowls and the big spoon out (who heard of an ice cream scoop? Not Eren) and is pulling the carton out of the freezer when he hears Hange banging around. How he forgets that people have this reaction to Yamask is anyone's guess.
He shuts the freezer quickly and turns around and —
Oh, right. ]
It's okay. It's just Yamask. It's a Pokemon. Uh, some kind of weird animal thing. Though this one is a ghost so I guess it's not an animal…I got it in Folkmore but it came here with me.
[ Yamask, a shy type, pauses uncertainly but doesn't run away or hide. It's gotten more used to people, and Hange is here a lot so it's probably heard their voice. ]
It won't hurt you or anything. Just don't take that thing it's holding.
[ Apparently it doesn't like that! That's what Clavell said, anyway. Eren had reached for that mask once and Yamask had screeched and hidden in another room for days back in Folkmore. Lesson learned! Now he knows what that mask actually is, which…is creepy as hell but whatever. ]
It probably just wants food.
[ Crisis averted, back to dishing out ice cream. ]

Yamask..? Pokemon?
[Yeah, Hange has absolutely no idea what either of those mean. But if it is something Eren received and has kept around for a while, it must not be too hostile, right?]
Is it a pet?
[Eren says not to touch the object it holds, but Hange cannot resist reaching out slowly to try and give the creature a soft little prod on the head if it will allow it.]
Hah, how come I haven't seen it before, I'm here all the time! Does it like icecream? [Maybe that's why it deigned to appear!]

It's a pet, I guess. It's a ghost type Pokemon. I don't really know what Pokemon are. Some kind of weird creature that exists in another world, I guess. I got it after surviving through some bullshit haunted house thing.
[ It was more involved than that, but Eren isn't exactly forthcoming about details for most things.
Yamask looks like it might duck away from Hange's reaching hand. It holds that mask tightly with its…tail thing…but relaxes when it's sure that its mask is not in danger here. Pets! Okay, sure, why not. If the cat can get pets then so can the Pokemon.
It probably feels cold, but it's not slimy or anything. What do ghosts feel like? GOOD QUESTION. ]
It's shy and you're loud.
[ WHOOPS maybe he learned that bluntness from too much time around Levi. ]
It likes berries. I dunno if you're supposed to give ice cream to Pokemon.
[ He turns to hand a bowl of ice cream to Hange, though. ]

[Pokemon, huh? That name is completely new to Hange, but it seems to be some type of animal? From another world? And for being a ghost, well that certainly opens up a whole new avenue of research doesn't it? Certainly something to look into later.]
Oh, you're saying I'm too loud? You've never complained about it before.
[Not even mad at his directness honestly, in fact it's welcome! Hange can be loud, they already know that, but more importantly they really want Eren to work on his "communicating feelings" thing and if that entails bitching that Hange is being annoying, then they'll take it.]
...It's cold.
[The creature was cool to the touch, but Hange retreats after a small poke in favour of taking the ice cream, best not to scare the little guy.]
Do you have berries here in the kitchen?
[The best way to befriend an animal is with food, right?]

No, but you are loud.
[ He's not wrong! He's used to it, but shy type Pokemon are sensitive or something. Anyway, Eren himself used to also be loud, and he's well aware of it. Eren, Jean, Connie, Sasha, they were all loud as hell half the time. It's probably strange that he's not all that loud anymore. He can get there, but he's usually too wound up in his own bullshit. He doesn't tend to yell words as much now.
Yamask bravely puts up with being poked. ]
Yeah, it is kind of cold. It's a ghost, so…I guess it makes sense.
[ Why would something sort of dead be warm, after all? Okay that's weird to think about. Yamask isn't really dead, but it used to be a human maybe? Eren hasn't told anyone this bit of info. ]
There's some in the fridge.
[ He puts the ice cream away and fetches the little bowl of berries, offering that to Hange as well.
Yamask knows what's up and floats closer. It doesn't talk, but Pokemon are pretty smart, it seems. Or maybe just food motivated like other animals, whatever. ]

It seems the network is misfunctioning, as I didn't mean to target it at you. My apologies, Eren.
I half-expected my finger to go right through it instead of touching something solid. That's what happens with ghosts, right? At least in stories..
[Apparently ghosts are real things now and they float around kitchens and like to be kept as weird pets. This world really is full of surprises~]
[Once the berries come out, Hange takes a few and holds them out in their palm, waiting to see if the pokemon will take them. They figure it would be best to treat them as they would any other animal, which is to befriend them with food...]
Does it have a name?

It's a sphinx. A divine beast that resembles a cat, or maybe closer to a lion. This one is a cosmos sphinx, related to my strongest familiar.

[ He stares at this for a minute. "Hey beautiful?" Seriously? ]
What a weird question. Same as usual. I pulled it up today.

Ok. Good, I guess.
Why are you writing me to ask though?

So you're drunk and you wanted to know what my hair looks like.

Actually he doesn't hate that idea. ]

[ There's a good two minute pause while Reiner just gazes at that picture, spellbound. The pause continues for another minute or so while he figures out how to save it.
Eventually, he texts again. ]
You're gorgeous, Eren. I know I say that, but I don't think it's enough. I need to say it more

[ TWO compliments? Wow, he really is drunk, huh. Eren has a hard time imagining he'd be this free with any of that outside the bedroom if he wasn't drunk. ]
You can say it all you want. You're gorgeous too though.
[ Good thing this is in text, because he'd fall on his face out loud, probably. ]
Is that really all you wrote me for?
[ He doesn't know the word "texted." ]

[ Eren at least knows how to save photos. And isn't drunk. ]
I wouldn't say it if I didn't think it.
Oh that's right. Your birthday. Is that why you're drunk?
