"So, how're you guys fairing?"
The trio + child-god look over and almost all flinch at the sight of him. They'd been made aware of the basic situation after they'd been calm enough to converse with, allowing them all to learn as his status as a God.
The fact that they didn't seem to be taking Ymir's status as a god all that seriously however had him doubting that his divinity was what scared them... Maybe it was because they were currently squatting in his house?
"Uh... Good?... This is all just a bit much to take in though." Eren admits, "To know what happened, who did it..."
Armin nods with his friend, "It's scary to know your future is laid out for you..." he gestures at the end credits of the show.
"But we changed it, so that future can go fuck itself." Michael offers with a shrug.
Eren scowls, "Exactly! As if I'd let Horse-Face touch Misaka!" he exclaims, grabbing her hand and squeezing it tightly.
Armin looks on with a smile as Mikasa blushes brightly, Eren should be aware of her feelings now so, his affectionate actions meant more than they used to...
"You'll take Jean's place then? Putting a munchkin in her belly." he remarks, amused.
Eren sputters in response to the blunt statement but doesn't lessen his grip on Mikasa's hand-. "W-hat-, I... That's for the future! D-don't look at me like that!"
"I thought you'd learned by now, Eren, if you don't plan for the future then your future will be planned for you. After everything you've seen, you're really now going to be upfront with your intentions now? It isn't like there's anything holding you back anyway."
Armin nods vigorously, "Yeah, Eren! It's a new world without cages! I mean, look! We live right next to the ocean in a big magical tower!"
"B-but..." Eren starts but Michael interrupts him.
"About that, you three are going to need to get the fuck outta my ower by next week."
"What? Why? You have the space!" Eren protests, seemingly forgetting that he was talking to a literal god of death, the others hadn't though judging by their matched grimaces.
"Because I'm having a dry spell and the thought of you two fucking annoys me." he says causing Mikasa and Eren to blush even more furiously than before, he points down at the floor and continues, "The only person fucking under this roof is me!"
"But that's-" Armin starts almost as red-faced as the duo.
"Unfair? Weird? Prudish? I don't care, this is my shit. Why do you think only girls live here?" he rhetorically questions, "So unless Mikasa here wants to dump your ass for me, you're out."
"No way in hell that's happening!" he drags Mikasa to her feet while disregarding Ymir who flops onto the floor lifelessly, "We're not staying in this 'Harem Tower' another second!"
"Alright, that saves me the trouble. As I said, you've got a week to move out and find your own place... I doubt it'll be hard, I'll vouch for you and you can use Mikasa's pay to find somewhere." he explains.
"Pay...?" Armin questions.
The door clicks and opens as Saeko walks in, "As my Apprentice... What? I'm not a slave owner, she'll be paid for her time. Which should have started an hour ago by the way..." she drawls, "We need to train your swordsmanship and Werewolf abilities, unless you want to accidentally bite your boyfriend's-"
"E-enough! I'll come!" Mikasa exclaims and quickly follows the departing swordswoman. Eren and Armin follow too, not wanting to stay behind with Michael and also wishing to see what exactly Mikasa was doing.
Michael stretches his back and neck out before looking over to Ymir, "There a reason you're so cosy with them?" she hadn't given any indication that she cared about anyone else aside from him... And those who fed her of course...
She sits up and gives an awkward smile, linking her fingers with some kind of meaning Michael couldn't catch.
"Like family then? Since they both possess powers that your daughters did?" he takes a guess.
Ymir gives a shrug and a nod, indicating that he was in the ballpark.
"You don't care that I killed Zeke then? He was basically the same."
She pulls her hands apart and holds them at a distance, shaking her head.
"Distance, so you only care if you actually know them?" he remarks.
She smiles in accent, standing and holding her hands at waist height before giving a hugging action. They were like her children then...?
He lets out a sigh and ruffles her hair, "I've got some free time so, want to try out your abilities? Neither of us really know their full extent." he asks, knowing that her time spent in that strange afterlife prohibited her from full using her divinity.
She grins, showing her teeth and holding her arms up, requesting to be carried. She was currently wearing some cutesy pink pyjama's that Maria had bundled her in and the girl refused to wear anything else... If the others refused to clean them with magic she'd strip naked and scrub them herself...
"You won't be cold? Winterhold is, well, as the name suggests."
She refuses, so Michael just wraps a small beige travelling cloak around her before carrying her to the outskirts of the town. People occasionally stopped to greet them, Ymir specifically due to how cute she was in his arms, but eventually they did make to their destination, a secluded area on the coast that Horkers used to frequent before Ennura removed them for harassing the new fishing boats.
"Alright, let's try the abilities I've already seen you use... Try create a titan here." he says, gesturing down at the ground a few meters away.
