[Oh look, it's everyone's favorite earnest, well-meaning, kind-to-all-living-creatures blond kiddo, just chilling in the park with his Pokemon buddies...
...including the absolutely enormous Steelix who's dozing and giving out gravelly snores. In fact, Armin and his little Pokemon friends -- including Nim the Mareep baby and the just-recently-hatched Espurr baby who insists on being held at all moments -- are sitting on top of Gertrude-the-Steelix's head. So anyone trying to approach...best tread lightly.
Armin is clearly in a mood.]

[Not so much that he doesn't turn on his Warp Band and ask, shortly, with one of the most grim expressions he's ever worn:] Is anyone signing up for this Tournament?
[...the creepycute baby Espurr sort of ruins his brooding aura, tbh.]

Action
Thank you very much.
Action
Have you met any other Steelix? There were probably others in the caves that were found...
Action
Not a Steelix, but I bonded with an Onix when I was in the caves.
Action
You did? Really? Why didn't you tell me?
Action
[And she almost ate all of them.]
She had a steel spike stuck between a few of her boulders that I pulled out.
[And nearly smashed her friend into a wall when she did.]

Action
Can I ask you a question?

Action
I...yes?

Action
[Attempting to distract her by setting little baby shiny Espurr in her lap. It gazes up solemnly, then sticks it's paw in it's mouth and sucks on it.]
Action
She will pet its head, though.]
Because you look like you haven't been taking good care of yourself. Where have you been staying? Have you gone home at all?
Re: Action
I stayed at Eren's for a couple nights...and I was at the Habitats while the eggs were incubating... [A pause, then he says almost desperately:] I can't go home until Grandpa's better. He'll get better soon. It'll be soon.
Action
[HAVE A JUDGMENTAL LOOK, ARMIN.]
Action
Not...really...
I-I really don't need one. I like staying at the Habitats. It's nice there.
Action
[How can she say this nicely?]
Action
Action
Armin, it's all right to ask for help every once in a while. You don't have to stay at the habitat all the time.
Action
That is...not where my skills lie. Asking for help.
Action
I know. I'm sure if you ask people, they'd be happy to take you in until your grandpa is better.
Action
I don't...I don't want to be a burden...
