[There isn't even an answering machine message here, only some horrible recreation of the theme from that one SBaHJ video he did made completely of clips of different bird calls.]
[Eren is glad at least ONE of them can keep up with time. He can't. But then, Eren is the feelings guy.]
Me?
Well, for one thing, he didn't even bother talking to me with the voice function until I told him my name. He seems... cold. Withdrawn? Standoffish for sure. Got real defensive before I even asked anything. But since our conversation wasn't too long, I wasn't able to get a really good read on him. I mean, I don't think he's a bad guy. I don't think anyone Xion calls a friend could be a bad guy. But I don't know if I like him.
Buddy, I hate to tell you this, but I'm cold and standoffish and also rude as fuck. And I didn't switch to voice with you right away, either, and look where we are now.
[The faint wash of humor ebbs away again as he goes over what he has assembled of the Kingdom Hearts Canon Puzzle. It's not much.]
All right. I'll drop him a line soon, see if I can pull anything else out of him now that you've softened him up for me. As a native speaker of Withdrawn Assholese, maybe I can get somewhere you can't.

[candid as ever, Eren. And yeah, their puzzle is pretty sparse. And mostly wrong.]
Pfft. Assholese. [ahem] Yeah, do that. Let me know if you find out anything else!
voice
Yeah. Will do. Ten-four, dude.
voice
Alright. I'll talk to you later. [NO "I LOVE YOU" because that's too sappy even for Eren. Instead he just hangs up!]
