"Thanks for inviting us," Arthur parrots Melissa, a little under his breath, but he's trying. He steps in as well, and after he takes off his shoes and gathers enough courage to actually look up, he begins to curiously observe his surroundings. A nice, warm house, much bigger and fancier than the one he lives in with his grandfather. He feels... welcome, even when he's practically a complete stranger; he feels like Eren has opened his door to him before.

"I, uh..." he clutches his bag close, "thank you, for today. Those guys are always... trying to get me."
