For Those Eigengrau Nights | Eremika

"The sky is eigengrau tonight." Mikasa spoke, her voice soft and warm, a cheerful juxtaposition to the dark night sky, clouded over with stars and rain. "Eigengrau? What is that?" Eren replied, looking at the dark-haired girl with almighty confusion. "Is that a metaphor or something?" The two shared a laugh before Mikasa explained. "It's... a shade of gray, but it looks more like black. It means intrinsic grey in German, so I assumed you'd know what it meant." "My German isn't good enough to know those fancy words. Do you have any cool German words to describe my eye color? Or my skin color? Or my hair color?" Eren questioned with a smile, pointing at each of his features as he says them.Mikasa twiddled her thumbs. "Your hair color is... schokoladenbraun. But that's all I know.""Hm. Well, I have a good way of remembering what eigengrau means. Your hair is eigengrau, so I'll remember it as a pretty color. Since your hair is pretty.""Sure. You do that, Eren." "I will."
