[The book is completely alien to him, like all literature here. He's very curious about it, about all this information that would have been forbidden at home or simply didn't exist back there. They smell strange, too. The paper's different.
Mike raises his head and studies Armin for a moment, when addressed. So, he's here, too. They didn't know each other, but he does remember Eren's friend. He knows him by sight. With his further heightened sense of smell, he doesn't have to lean in to get a good whiff of him, and he's satisfied that he isn't being deceived. It's a real person, and likely the same one. He nods. He'd salute, but this isn't the time or place, and he prefers not to stand out or identify his affiliation so readily.]
Armin Arlert.
[He doesn't smell anyone else familiar in the vicinity. It's odd to see him here, so far away from home, but if there's one thing he's already learned about this place, it's that it's strange.]
You been here long?
[He clearly hasn't just arrived, yet he still smells faintly of home, of familiar things.]
