[As Evangeline knows, monsters aren't generally Armin's "thing" (in so many words), but he knows she worked hard on her calendar, and he appreciates the thanks.]

Hi, Evangeline.

I got your calendar today. I can tell you've put a lot of work into it. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your help! It only turned out as well as it did because of your photography.

I'm truly flattered. All my thanks to you for allowing me that practice. :)

It did turn out nicely. I have to say, this entire calendar experience has been extremely rewarding.

Did you help out with any other calendars, or just mine?

[...she kind of wants to ask about the husbands one-]

[He did not go for the husbands calendar, but he did take more pictures of peanut butter than he'd ever expected.]

I helped out with a few, yes.

You also gave me the idea to take photos of those from my world, which we've been planning to do. I'm pretty excited about it. Nervous too. Haha.

Oh, that's good! I'm a little jealous honestly.

Jealous? How so?

Well... there's nobody else from my world here.

[...Technically there is One Sin And Hundreds Of Good Deeds but that's an Abnormality, not a person. Anything she was able to regain with a Wishing Star doesn't count for this.]

[Right. Way to go, Armin. Here he'd had his mind on photos still.]

Of course. That must be very difficult. I know I'm very lucky to have the people that I do.

I'm sorry, Evangeline.

It's okay. I mean, it's not something under anybody's control, so it's not like I hold it against anyone from your world.

Of course not. But it's alright to feel disappointed by it. If you'd like to talk about it, I'll listen.

You're sweet, thank you. I don't know what I'd have to say about it, but I might take you up on it sometime. How have you been? How was your holiday?

[Ha. How has he been? He'll focus on the holiday question instead.]

Captain Levi's birthday was on the 25th, as well as Christmas, which I wasn't familiar with.

We had a nice time.

And you?

Well, you know, there was the memory thing, but that turned out alright for me all things considered.

[She will not mention that she finally got to bang a Titan in her idealized future dreamworld, but she is counting that as a major plus.]

And for the holidays I got a bunch of very sweet and thoughtful gifts. So that was nice.

["The memory thing" is also a topic Armin will be avoiding.]

Did you enjoy the cookies?

I did! They were delicious. I don't really cook or bake at all, unless heating up water for instant ramen counts as cooking.

I enjoy baking more than cooking if I'm honest with you, but I've been trying my hand at both. You should let me cook you a meal sometime. Don't tell me that instant ramen is all you've been eating...

[In this world? Where food is so plentiful? He can't imagine.]

Of course not! I go out pretty regularly and at home I have, like. Fruits and vegetables. Sandwiches?

There's that, at least. You had me worried for a moment! But my dinner offer still stands, if you'd like?

Just to be totally clear. This is like, friend dinner. Not like a date?

[Oh...]

You don't like to date humans, right? I'm not after that. Only a friend dinner, yes.

I don't date anybody. Someone gave me flowers for Christmas and I near had a heart attack. Friend dinner sounds fantastic. Should I bring anything?

[Phew!]

Anything you'd like. :)

Do you drink wine? Or drink at all, I guess.

[He'd almost suggested wine, but then this really would have sounded like a date. He's glad she brings it up instead!]

I enjoy a glass of wine every now and again. That sounds lovely.
