[or they're an idiot, but who is he to judge? still, this is less about them and more about Mikasa now, who has him a bit on edge. he isn't sure if she's killed people in the past, though she's certainly a warrior. the difference is though, that this sounds personal, and most people haven't killed those close to them.]
[ And now that's she's said it, she has no idea why. At first she considered asking his advice, but now it seems wrong. To casually discuss how to kill Jean; her comrade, who she could tell doesn't want to die. To casually discuss how to take his life, like it doesn't affect her. She's certainly not going to ask November about his opinion regarding the right or wrong of the issue. She likes November, but she's aware enough that it's not a discussion to have with him.
Or maybe it is. But either way, she doesn't bring it up. ]
I don't think they know many others that would be willing.
[No others that would be willing? Judging from how she's phrased it, he's not even sure if she's completely willing. He could tell her the easiest way to do it. The least painful. But in the face of the conversation, maybe that's not the topic they should be discussing. It feels cold, even if the logic is sound.]
[ She'd committed. She'd told him that she would offer it, if that's what he needs because they are comrades. (But she's not willing, don't even start about how she's not willing.) It's no display of bravery from her. She's not the one dying. ]
[He knows there's a difference. Knows that it's probably the latter rather than the former, but clarification is needed because how else is he going to approach this if he doesn't have all the facts?]

I told him that I would.
He refuses to take a life. Someone has to kill him.
no subject
You're stronger than most.
He's going to have to face reality at some point; he knows that, right?
no subject
He's naive.
But as long as survives to face reality, that's enough.
no subject
[Could any of them afford to be so? Apparently they still could, to some degree.]
Will you need anything?
[He knows he can't be an emotional crutch, but he's leaving the decision up to her. If she comes to him for help, he'll help.]
no subject
No. Thank you for listening to me. [ Because she has no idea what she was even trying to do but.
She wanted to. ]
no subject
Good luck.
[And if she decides she does need something, he's here to lean on, regardless of emotional numbness.]
