[No, Atsushi doesn't get the hint that Eren doesn't want to really tell him. After all, all of Eren's replies have been pretty cut and dry, so how would Atsushi know the difference?]
It isn’t exactly wise to show all the cards in your hand to whoever you meet. A bit of advice.
It’s safe to say that if my abilities become clear to you, you’ll be in a precarious situation. [He doesn’t mean it as a threat, really; more so to say, “You don’t want to be in a position that makes those abilities necessary.”
[…so, maybe it’s a bit of a threat, too. Whatever works.]
[Atsushi blinks, finding it a little unfair that Eren asked him about his abilities, but doesn't say anything about his own. Even mocking him for telling. Well, Atsushi got nothing to hide, and it's not like he hasn't worked with those that claim to be the silent and mysterious type before]
Right. Keep your secrets then. But don't worry about me. As I said, I can take care of myself, my skills are pretty good after all.
[Atsushi huffs, feeling always so judged by Eren without him ever really doing anything. Truly, it's like his times with Akutagawa, but thanks to those, Atsushi now has the confidence to stand up to Eren and not care about what someone has to say.]
Right. You just got the info you wanted, didn't you?
[Atsushi wants to say no, as always, but when he opens his mouth, he pauses, and closes it again, with a frown. Eventually he shakes his head.]
Yes. Yes, it does bother me. I am more than just my abilities. More than just a few information to gain. So if you want to talk to me, do it because you actually want to talk to me, not just because you want to gain insight about my powers!
