[He takes a cookie then, knowing that Eren was going to say exactly that, before snatching the glass of milk he poured. He dips it in the glass before taking a bite, smiling pleased at his own handiwork.]
They're quite good. I'm glad you like them, in any case.
I think she liked spoiling you to compensate for the times I was a shitty little brat. She was probably afraid I'd lose my only friend if she didn't interfere.
She spoiled me too much, I think. She didn't need to worry about you losing me as a friend, though. I mean, you were my only friend then. If we got in a row that we didn't get over we'd both have ended up friendless.
I don't think I could stay mad at you for very long. I mean, I didn't want to be alone either. Besides, it wasn't worth it being cross with one another.
[And there's a bit of a cheeky grin there.]
You'd always come and apologize, whether that was your mother's doing or not.
I'm glad. I liked her a lot too...if it had ever come to that, I'd have been forever grateful to her. If my grandfather hadn't had his health, I'm not sure what I would've done if you hadn't been my friend.
I think I would've had a rather pathetic existence.

They're not mine, I made them for you. [But, since he knows Eren'll nag-] I'll try one though.
Action
They are yours. You baked them. You like sweet things more than me, anyway.

We were pretty stuck. I think when I fucked up, I was scared out of my mind because I thought I would lose you.
I mean, I hated all those other dipshits. I didn't want to be alone, but it'd be better than dealing with any of them as a substitute, really.

Action
Sometimes it was because of mom. I've always been good at staying mad, but you're right, it wasn't worth it.
She liked you a lot, though. Like, a hell of a lot. I think we would've taken you in, too, if something had happened before... you know.

So don't say that. Eat another cookie.

[He takes another cookie then to nibble on it, leaning against the counter behind him.]
Do you want another?

Open wide.

Eren takes a bite and Armin hands the cookie over with a small smile.]
If sweets aren't your favourite, then what should I try and surprise you with next time?
