It might not be obvious since you're fresh out of the shower, but you've become rather exhausted. [ With two of his fingers, he touches the area under his eye. ] And it's most apparent around your eyes.
[ He brings his hand off his face and stares at it for a good few seconds before sighing. ]
Not that it matters much, but I'm two years your elder. [ He tilts his head. Most would say the difference between a teenager and an adult is rather significant. He doesn't know a way to say that to Ryuji that doesn't come off as dickish. ] What do you think of that?

hm no wonder why your k/d ratio was off... since this is killing me rn
[Wait... what? He has? Ryuji had no idea that it was apparent. Sure, he knew that Mordred's strain on his energies was a typical, everyday sort of presence, but he also hadn't noticed anything about himself looking more tired, more embittered against the role he was serving in COST.
He tries to play it off. People shouldn't worry about him. He can handle himself until his body gives out. That's how Ryuji's always dealt with this.]
Hm? Nah, it's just this place. Don't worry about it. Spiders kinda give me the creeps.
[It's probably somewhat transparent. Ryuji doesn't know what Eren's aiming for here, but there's an air of worry in there that he can't really decipher. Blind to that concept alone, he probably doesn't know that the implication is that... day by day, Ryuji is slowly becoming more hardened, more like Eren and less like the boy he was when he landed in France.
His emotions seem more in tune, too. 6 months ago, he'd probably go off on Eren, telling him that he was being a dick by implying the nature of their differences. By all accounts, Eren was an adult whereas Ryuji was still somewhere in the middle, but getting there steadily as each campaign drove on. World War I didn't really help with that either.]
Hm? Yeah, I mean... hatachi is the rite of passage in my home world anyway. When you turn 20, you're considered a full fledged adult. [He uses the towel around his neck to dry his hair a little more.] I don't think anything of it? It's just the way it is, dude.
