Yeah, I guess the context is what really counts. [Not that he likes it any better. Still, he guesses maybe it's just like his people still calling dragons things like Monstrous Nightmares and Terrible Terrors. Things just come to be known by certain words.]

Anything we had? You had some kind of- of power before showing up here?

[usurpers]

[ eren isn’t one to go off and tell everyone at home, not that people didn’t already know, but. he gives hiccup a once over, then brings his attention over to the black dragon still having a blast.

it wouldn’t hurt. ]

Have you ever heard of titans? [ pause. he remembers how mhairi named them. ] —Giants?

[thisisamazing]

Uh, giants? [He has to think about that for a moment, all the way back to the scary stories of his childhood - giants and trolls that steal your socks, and all manner of things that Norse parents tell their offspring about to keep them from running off.] Just in, you know, bedtime stories. Giants and trolls. I used to run off looking for them as a kid, when my dad would take me fishing.

[usurpers]

[ that’s the cutest shit i have ever seen ]

They’re real, where I’m from. Anywhere from ten to sixty meters. Some people can turn into them.

[thisisamazing]

[His eyes widen a little.] Wait, they- How big? And...

Wait. Are you... Do you usually turn into a giant?

[usurpers]

Usually.

[ he almost wishes he could laugh— but it hardly feels like a laughing matter. titans were . . . complicated. ]

Twice the size of the walls.

[thisisamazing]

Twice the size of- [He's been on those walls, looking down. It's hard to imagine something that size - other than a Red Death, or a Bewilderbeast. A leviathan-class dragon.] How-... But you can't do that here? I'd heard that- people's powers, if they had them, disappear when they come through the mirror...

[usurpers]

I’m going to find out.

[ just . . . . not now. something about seeing a fifteen meter giant just exploding out of thin air is going to definitely create alarm. ]

You’ll know if I still could.

[ there’s humor tied here, but. gravity, as well. he certainly hopes he hasn’t lost anything. ]

[thisisamazing]

[He manages a weak smile at that.] If you're sure it's safe to try. Outside the walls, maybe. There's a lot more room there.
