[Don't ask him to defend the honor of the Survey Corps and their dumbshit equipment, Kurogane, because he will.
Anyway. If it hasn't been made readily apparent by now—Eren doesn't really do stealth. He can try, but as far as first approaches go, it's not exactly his go-to. He cants his head back at Kurogane, then down into the blackness at the bottom of the cavern.]
We can't see anything without it.
[But he gets what Kurogane's getting at—the light would make a real good target if whatever they find down there decides to attack them, first. Without the torch, their only source of light would be the sporadic sparks being cast out by whatever is down there.
So which is worse? Putting a target on your back? Or groping around in the dark and hoping things don't go south?]
You think it's any better to go in blind? At least we'd know what we're even dealing with.
[Even if it decides to attack them, after the fact. At least they'd know it was coming. He's not afraid of getting his hands dirty. Even if his primary weapon is stripped of most of its usefulness, down here. Even if his ace in the hole would just get them killed, this far underground. ]
you better be sleeping rn
