[It's a weird question out of fucking nowhere, that's what, but what else does anyone really expect from Mikasa's social skills??]
Okay. Good. Much better than good. But they all look the same or at least very similar, when you could have a lot of variety in them.
[ . . . she has an entire room as a walk in closet and it's full of all kinds of different clothes even if there's a lot of pink and red. So think about that as an example of what she means by variety, Eren.]
[ It's fine, we don’t do social skills in this house! ]
I don’t really think about it. The captain made me buy a suit. Clothes are just clothes.
[ He's vaguely aware of clothes looking interesting or being sexy or just being, you know. Colours that aren't grey and black? But it seems like a non-issue to him. Save him from himself. ]
Well, I do and now I'm thinking about it for you too. Why did he make you buy a suit? They may be just clothes but it's good to have variety, especially here when we can go to all of these different areas so easily. So, let's go shopping.
[She's not so sure, that they are just clothes but whatever, it's not like her being bad with words in general skills got much better over the years either. She will save him from that only gray and black clothes chaos even if he looks great in those too!]
That's weird and the first time when I hear the logic, that adult men should have it. But I guess it really would at least make a good first impression in some official dress code events or some job interviews. And look nice for someone or everyone. Which party? I want to see you wearing it someday.
[Guess she can't say that all of the midget's logic is weird with it when some of it also makes sense.]
Yes, I want to go, so let's go whenever you have time for it.
Or most of the time. Most suits I've seen have been nice, then there are those where people clearly had too many ideas...
[OHHH. That weirdo, who calls just about everyone his concubine or whatever that word is -- let's just say she knows. Also Reiner going to his parties doesn't surprise her at all at least not compared to that other name---!!]
Yes, and he has plenty of those or so I've heard. Armin was there too?!
Good.
Just doing missions is totally fine too, it's not like we even really need to have regular jobs here.
[Says the girl, who kind of has more than one job but really, she wouldn't really have to do her regular one.]
Me neither, so let's go this afternoon then. I'll come pick you up.
You'll probably run into the other styles sooner or later.
I'm glad you've both found social lives and friends here.
[Or whatever they are because obviously they can do whatever they want with anyone. At least she'd know what friends with benefits are in general... But yes, she is very glad about it anyway.]
[ Eren meets Mikasa outside the starter apartment building (since half the shingekis have just…never left there for some reason). He really does have just nondescript clothes, a grey shirt under his open black jacket, black jeans. At least he knows what jeans are?
He's idly looking at his phone when Mikasa comes up. He hasn't entirely adapted to "modern" life but he has the doomscrolling thing down. ]
Hey.
[ As the months have passed here, he's thawed out some, looking more like a person and less like…whatever he looked like when he got here. He's not all the way there yet, though, still too haunted and strange for smiles. ]

[ He wore half of it, half undone, to a party and took more of it off but details! ]
If you want we can go shopping.

Do you know Ozymandias? He had a party. Armin and Reiner both went too.
I'll show it to you sometime.
I'm never going to have a job interview. I don’t think I can go to a regular job. Doing missions is fine.
But I'm not very busy. If you want we can go this afternoon or whatever.

[ Maybe because he doesn't pay attention! ]
Yeah I asked Armin if he wanted to go with me. Ozymandias is a friend of mine.
[ Or a whatever. Friend with benefits? He'll die before he explains that to Mikasa. ]
Okay. I'll see you then.
leaves this here before sleep and i can either edit action to this later or you can roll us into it?
