[For a moment they both look at each other in confusion. Hijikata is honestly a little baffled that so far none of Levi's subordinates (out of the whopping two he mentioned him to) were even remotely willing to charge into a bitching session with him. That guy seriously has their respect! He's a little jealous, he can't lie. His own subordinates will absolutely shoot the shit with him so much as out of earshot!
Eren's earnestness about both looking up to Levi and doing better in company than alone is strangely touching. He must either not realise that the things he says show a certain vulnerability, or not care. It's something Hijikata still mentally trips over - back home everyone will savagely dunk on each other over the tiniest weakness, so Eren being like this makes him want to do the opposite and not say anything hurtful. As such he mentally edits his next words a few times before he speaks.]

He seems a little difficult to get along with. But I'm glad it works out between you two.
