it makes sense in my head

I don't care what you think. I have to go back and protect Eren.

A scarf is a stupid thing to bond over, anyway...

Of course! You didn't think something as important as Scarf Love wasn't measured, did you? You have to take scarves seriously, or your feelings for any of them will be meaningless.

[That's ridiculous. She touches her scarf gently. Nothing could make her feelings towards her scarf meaningless. Nothing.]

Ah. I can see that your scarf contains an enourmous amount of feeling.

[One of his own scarves reaches up, like an arm of its own, to try to prod her in the chest lightly.]

You have to appreciate the scarf as well as the sentiment!

[WTF HIS SCARF IS MOVING. AND POKING HER.]

Ke-ke, see how my scarf skills exceed yours?

[It has three little flat square 'fingers' too, which are wriggled at her.]

[She bats at it.]

Your "scarf skills" wouldn't do anything against the titans.

[As remarkable as a moving scarf is, the only question that matters is: Could it help her protect Eren? A prehensile scarf is strange but ultimately worthless.]

[When she bats at it, it tries to wrap around her wrist so he can show off by picking her up with it. It has the strength of a hundred men or something.

Failing that, he'll just slam the ground with one to make a decent crater. Same effect.]

I told you not to underestimate scarves.

[Mikasa has the instincts of a predator (or perhaps more accurately, prey). She jumps back, just in time to avoid being grabbed by the weird scarf. In the same movement, she pulls out a knife. If it tries to touch her again, she will cut it.]

Impressive. [She doesn't sound impressed, though. Just matter of fact.] Can you make them sharp?

Good question! Most people don't imagine the possibility.

[He uses the edge of one to slice a piece of the rubble from his little crater in two.]

Although I don't use them, you could also hold a knife in it.

How do you get a scarf to do that?

[A prehensile scarf that could be sharp enough to cut titan flesh. That could be useful.]

You must become closer with it, until you are one!

[Actually his are actually a part of him so.]

[Aaaand just like that, she's not impressed anymore.]

I don't think it works that way in my world.

Incorrect. That is the principle but not the method. The basis of all true influence upon the world is to free the mind and transcend the physical, to exist within the metaphysical. It begins with Scarf Love.

.............................................you're a lunatic.

[With each ellipsises worth of silence, Asura leans forward in anticipation and then when she does speak, he reels back as if struck.]

Who told you!?
