[Eren frowns deeply and gives Annie a look that edges stupidly close to actually considering being concerned about this for a second or two before he realizes that's a joke and lets it roll off his back.

Annie's really great, though. She's been teaching me.

[And she'd learned to fight long before she'd enlisted.]
