Being used to something and wanting it are totally different. Anyway, I don't want you to get hurt by other people, so you're going to have to deal with it and just let me help protect you while you do the right think, Bertholdt.

...And of course we're friends! Are you some kind of idiot? [ Hmph!! ]

I... I believe you, Yuri...

[He's relieved, but boy is he going to be nervous until he gets up the will to actually talk to them....]

I- I-I didn't want to just assume something like that though...!

[ PUNCHES HIM IN THE ARM PRETTY HARD FOR A SHORTY. ]

Just assume it or I'm going to hit you again.

[ Only she's allowed to beat on her friends ok ]

[FLINCHES AND COWERS REALLY AWKWARDLY FOR A GIANT.]

Y-yes ma'am..!

Don't call me ma'am, that's weird. Just Yurippe is fine.

Uh, y-yes ma--

Uhm, Yuri...ppe? You want me to... use that nickname?

[WOW PERSONAL.]

Most people that I like call me that, it's nothing weird. Hinata came up with it and it stuck, that's all.

Like Reiner, then....

[He looks a little sad at mentioning his best friend, before he tries to smile.]

O...Okay, Y...Yurippe.

Reiner?

[ She doesn't really know much about Reiner, but if Bertholdt wants to talk about it she'll give him the opportunity. ]

[He rubs the back of his neck.]

Uhm... my best friend. He... calls me Bertl, s-so talking about nicknames just... reminded me of him.

Hmm.

[ That actually sounds a lot easier than saying Bertholdt. Yuri honestly made sure to practice it before she ever said it outloud the first time she heard it, since she didn't want to make a mistake. She points at herself. ]

If you prefer it I can call you that. Obviously I'm not him, but if that makes you more comfortable I don't mind, since it's not some weird nickname like some people give themselves.

[Ber-Tol-dt, Yuri. He gets that from people back home without Japanese pronunciation hindering them though so he wouldn't even be surprised or offended.]

I... I guess if it's just you, that's... okay...

[It'd be... nice...]

[ She got it after a while! She just made sure to practice first. It's something she does with a lot of things because she likes to seem like she's always on top of things. ]

Bertl, then!

[Jean doesn't even say it right sometimes. Think about that.]

[He blushes a little, but he smiles.]

Y-yeah...

What are you getting all embarrassed about, huh? It's not like it's a big deal or anything!

[ Wow don't get embarrassed, she'll get embarrassed because friendship ]

I-I'm sorry... I just never had a girl call me that before...

Well, I guess if it's just shyness then I can excuse it.

Th...thanks, Yurippe...

No problem. Good luck.
