[ On Marco's end, he got a text out of the blue from Jean asking if he was around. He'd barely finished greeting Jean and letting him inside when Jean hugs him tightly. He's surprised, of course, but he's not unused to this; usually Jean is just more restrained in how badly he needs a hug.

Gently, he wraps his arms around his friend, raising a hand to stroke through his hair. ]

It's going to be okay.

[ Because Marco will make it okay - whatever it is. ]

What's got you so worked up, Jean?

[The hug feels good. Something he really needed after the day he's had. He sighs, a little out of tiredness, more so because of relief he finds in the hair strokes.]

I delivered a sword to Bertholdt with Reiner... but not before talking with Reiner about why I didn't want to do it in person. So now Reiner's hurting again and things are definitely not improving with Bertholdt.

[Not that he did a very good job at trying. Instead he just crashed the whole thing immediately.]

Might have coffee with him sometime, I guess.

[ Marco knows Jean was there when Bertholdt died, so he pauses for a moment, and then sighs softly. He hasn't spoken to Bertholdt since he arrived; less out of avoidance on his end and more because he just hasn't seen the other boy, by his own design. Still, he was always closer to him of the trio of Titan shifters. ]

Reiner needs time to hurt and grieve. You two have been friends for so long; I'm sure it'll work out.

[ He sounds confident, but he knows how much Reiner adores Bertholdt. He can only hope that Bert is here works in Jean's favor. ]

You needed it, didn't you? [ He reminds Jean with a small smile, sad. ]

[It's true they've been friends for a long time, now. Jean would give him time and space. Which ends up being a little too much time and space. Mostly because this time it was about Bertholdt, which was very personal for Reiner. Would he really be able to just forgive him? It's a worry that will stop him from contacting Reiner, in the end.

Would he feel the trust bond between them break? Would he lose another bond, but live with the fact the person was still there? Nothing had changed yet. Nothing was broken that far.

Marco's right, of course, about Jean's needs. He needed to say the things out loud, almost as if it was confession, and he needed to confront Bertholdt eventually.]

... yeah.

[At least he seemed to appreciate the rapier, at least.]

Do you mind if I stay for a bit?
