[ She makes a small humming sort of sound in thanks when he finishes pouring her another drink, taking it and................... downing it all in one.
Elegant drinking partner she is not, but she appreciates that he's not so simple that he presses on points she can't say out loud. Even if Armin didn't try to keep her cornered, she already doesn't want to harm the lives the rest of them have built here. Even Bertolt.
If he doesn't fill the silence, she'll settle into it, saying after some time: ]
You're a good person.
[ Not special, because when she says that, it isn't flattering so much as aware of potential and the drive that changes lives, for better and worse. Changes societies, introducing that chaos the rest have to muddle through.
And there's that joke of an edge to it still, because she can remember Armin's response when she'd posited that question: Do you think I'm that good a person?
You can be a good person to me. The world is viewed through a personal lens, and always will be. Kazuki is good to her. And she suspects, from many perspectives, he is good, for varying definitions of the word. She's glad for that, she thinks. ]
