That's... more confusing than anything.
But. I trust you. And your judgement.
And Red Son, for that matter.

Sorry. I would tell you more, but I can't.
( and she very much disliked not being completely open with Meryl. What a shame Red Son didn't seem to trust her enough for this. )
Like I said, it's not going to be for a while anyway. I just didn't want you to worry.
Extra time with Livio and Knives though! :)

You know, you could have at least tried to learn something.
A skill, I mean. Not info gathering.

Having the ability to sketch something out might be nice. If you ever came across something strange and didn't have a camera with you to otherwise capture it?

You probably aren't wrong.
But... Maybe there's still something to be learned in participating?
If not finding something worthwhile in the labyrinth, then learning from the surroundings themselves?
... I don't know.

[She won't comment on the Livio and Knives part. It makes things sound too... transactional, for her taste.]
I understand. Really.
I appreciate you telling me. And I do expect to at least see you before then. Nothing about making it up, just having a good time.

My love, you can see me as much as you like. I can come over RIGHT NOW, even.
C'mon, now. No need to come running right this second, Sky.
There are more ways to help than just gathering information.
There are plenty of new faces that trickle in. Sometimes it's as simple as making sure they are acclimated. Or that others have support when they need it.
Grand actions are great, but they're not the be-all, end-all.

You don't want me to?

You have a point, I guess. Anyone coming in should know what they just signed up for.
When I first got here, my Captain told me to focus on making allies. That's what I've been trying to do. The more of us there are fighting against this shit, the better chance we have. I know that.
[Is he misunderstanding Meryl's sentiment here? It's possible.]

Don't misunderstand. I can't say that I am actively fighting against any of this. I just want information. And the last thing I want is to anger someone who might actually be able to grant a wish.
There are many here who could benefit from something like that.

[Ugh. This shit again. Everyone so terrified of Vaeros' power that they're powerless to act. That's exactly the sort of system Eren wants to destroy...]
I'm not looking to piss Vaeros off either. [He means that. He might have been once, but it's been a long few months, and he's learned plenty about what can happen if you don't tread carefully around this place...]
I get it. Information is our deal anyway, right? I'll give you what I have.

No.
But you didn't say you wanted me to either.

[In Meryl's case, it isn't fear. It's hope. A hope that she might be able to see those wishes granted, at least for others.]
That's good to hear. Believe me, I know it's hard to sit on your hands and not do anything, but sometimes that's the better option. At least until you have a clear course of action.

[That's probably a lot of people's reasoning, but Eren tends to see things one way and one way only - and he hates cowardice.]
We didn't have much opportunity back home to sit and figure things out before we had to take action. But I guess things are a little different here. [It's healthy for him to acknowledge that, at least!]
Anyway. Thanks, Meryl. If I learn anything else, I'll let you know - and you'll let me know, right?
[Allies?]

Unfortunately, time is about the only thing we can rely on here. And sometimes, not even that.
But yeah, if I come across anything worth knowing, I'll pass it along to you. That's our deal.
[Allies indeed.]
