Why do you think that? I used to grow crops... [When she was young she'd help in the garden, then she had to work the earth for the years between the fall of Wall Maria and joining the military. It was what she'd wanted to get back to...Once everything was peaceful. Though that dream of living a nice, simple life seemed so distant.]
I...[Her head dips, turning to look at them. Letting out a small chirp.]
I was talking about the plant...With it being on that make noise I didn't think it'd be covered in so much soil.
[Please ignore the slightly flushed cheeks as she's caught talking to the plant.]
[Ah...Enkidu raises their eyebrows and chuckles softly.]
I am truly sorry... [Who are they to judge humans? Harsh lesson learned.] …I should not have said that. I am afraid I forgot that I am not in a position to do so.
[Finally they sit down.]
Root likes to be covered in soil. Whenever Andersen might return I would like to show him this. How it has grown strong and resilient. [They smile.] And feel free to tell it stories, it likes to hear another person's voice. Root is not shy at all. Feel free to touch it.
Why are you apologizing so much? I just wondered why you thought I should get something like a thornbush. [She did not know what a cactus was. The closest she could think of to a prickly plant was thorns. Some might see that as an insult but thorns were just the plant's way of protecting its self... And she was kind of a prick. Even she'd admit that much. ]
Andersen...I think I spoke to him. The boy with the old man voice. [She winces a little, turning back to the plant, hiding her face. Another kidnapping victim. Not going to mention that though haha. Instead, she reaches out, one finger outstretched to pet Root's leaf.] Wouldn't it be hard for it to hear in the soil?
"I apologize because it is not right for a weapon to judge a human, even if it is about plants."
Interesting, though. How easy it had come from their mouth. As if they had forgotten for just a minute what they actually were. Maybe there could be more forgetting. It is interesting how they are changing. Interesting and somewhat frightening. After all, it is something they do not entirely seem to be in control of.
"I think he is more an old man trapped inside the body of a child."
Enkidu moves to sit close to her so they can look at the little plant as well.
"I think it would be more difficult for him to hear when buried in soil, yes. I would advice you not to do that."

Well. That gets a frown, her head drifting to look out the window. Then back over to them, lips purses. Internally debating.
"...We're equals then."
It's said with a soft sigh. That was all she was wasn't she? According to Eren she was less than that even. Just a mindless creature made to obey, to be a tool. The master-servant bond didn't seem to have transferred yet though if it would. Though it was fully possible that she'd be stuck, constantly wondering about the man who hated her for what her blood made her.
"I know the kid was grumpy but I've seen worse." Tragic that she never learnt that she'd kidnapped an old guy. But she pulls her hand back from the plant. "Do you have to dig...him out every time you talk to him then?"
That response makes Enkidu raise their eyebrows a little.
"Equals? Hmmm...perhaps not entirely..." After all, this young woman doesn't look like she is made from clay and divine spit. Despite the monster features she seems to be human. "I know that humans can be used as weapons as well. After all, if humans are good at combat and do not fail when doing so they will be used for that specific type of combat. Just like the gods see me as the chain of heavens. After all, it takes a chain to connect the divine realm and humanity."
Enkidu hums a little.
"Perhaps Andersen wished to be a man instead of a boy. After all...being inside the body of a child while being a man...that seems...off. Yet, I do remember he handled it well." They have fond memories of him. "I miss him a little. I hope, back in Chaldea, he will find Avenger again," Enkidu is muttering a little. "No, I will not unroot a plant unless it is necessary."
Enkidu...That sure is a lot she doesn't understand, heaven? Gods? Onyankopon had mentioned that his people had a god, that their equivariant would be Ymir. But with what little she knew, it was just words. None of it made enough sense to her. The gods saw them as someone important? Either way, that meant very little to her. Nor did next part, to philosophical sounding.
"You're from the same place...?' Honestly, that explained a lot. But she focuses on Root once more.
Sorry, Mikasa, they are on a strange wavelength sometimes. Weird clay is weird.
"You mean Chaldea? Yes. But not all servants come from Chaldea. It is the place where our master has summoned us. For instance, Cu comes from a different time and place than I do. And Iskandar as well. We are all tied to the tales and stories that have shaped humanity."
And they get summoned by mages to fight Holy Grail wars.
"Hmmm, that is a good question. But I take it that if it has a mouth, it also has ears to hear."
Yeaaahhhh, she's just going to...Keep looking at that plant. Boy, that sure is a plant. The blink is definitely because of the sun in her eyes from being stood so close to the window and not her confusion at that.
Was...Were they saying they were a storybook character? But then the other part didn't make sense, she was just going to put that aside for now. Time for plants, she's nodding.
"It should do...But don't plants breathe through their leaves? ...But then it wouldn't need a mouth. And they eat through the roots too...."
Trying to put more human or monster anatomy on a plant was surprisingly difficult.
