Summary: Eve learns a new saying from Train
"That's what she said." When Sven heard that Train had bad news he had been expecting something normal from him, like that he had eaten them out of their savings again, or that he provoked Rins. Although, this was unforgivable.
Ever since Sven had found Eve he found himself like a father to her, feeding her meals, teaching her whatever the books she engulfed herself in couldn't teach her, and just being all around kind to her. So he was of course unimpressed when he found out what Train had taught her.
"No no princess, you say it after something funny, like this." The legendary Black Cat had said, leaning against a wall and in a silly voice saying, "It's too big!"
"But that makes no sense. Whoever is speaking is just logically saying the selected noun is too large." She said, tilted her head the way a dog would when it was confused. Even with her superior intelligence it seemed that she had plenty to learn.
Sven was once again unimpressed, his eyes rolling to look up at the ceiling as he took a puff of his cigarette. Eve must of noticed this action as she tilted her head back to look at the ceiling, analyzing it as she searched for it's importance. It was a habit Eve had picked up on. Whenever someone looked up at the ceiling or rolled their eyes she too looks up. When Train had managed the guts to ask her why she said "I just don't understand why people keep staring at it."
"But that's not what I mean. It's hard to explain, okay princess?" Train sighed, giving her a swift pat on the head like she was a lot younger than she acted. In return she gave a slight pout, crossing her arms.
"That's what she said." She muttered, which resulted in both Sven and Train exchanging looks before they both shook their heads. Apparently that just wasn't the 'funny' they were looking for.

Eve had quickly became attached to the new saying, using it whenever Train or Sven were ignoring her and she wanted attention. It had gone on so long even train was beginning to regret it.
"Yes, I'd like three tickets, two adult, one kid ticket." Sven said, handing a man behind the counter a bundle of cash.
"That's what she said?" She questioned, looking at them both, her expression begging for either of them to catch on to the joke. Neither laughed, only groaned. They had gone to the towns local fair after their newest bounty had been caught, in celebration. With all the rides and toys, both Sven and Train had expected this to keep Eve's mind off of Trains little joke he had taught her, although their plans had fallen.
The man behind the counter gave her a strange look before handing Sven some tickets, asking for the next people in line to move ahead. They had been getting those looks for a while now, and had grown in to them. Before they were even fully out of line though, Train went from his serious mode to his kid like personality when he spotted the air gun game. One of those simple ones, fire the gun and knock down the cans, the simple things. And with his gun skills, he knew an easy way to win a prize.
"I'd like one game please!" Train said, slamming his hand down on the mans stand, a bundle of money in hand. The old ratty stand shook slightly as his hand made contact, making both Sven and the stand keeper jump slightly. Quickly accepting the money like he was being robbed, the man gave him the air gun and stepped back.
Sven was obviously unimpressed by his actions, turning away to watch Eve, who was admiring the rides all around her. Tall rides, small ones, fast ones and slow ones. From Rollercoaster's to Ferris Wheels. Even the mounds of garbage seemed to be amazing to her. This had truly, truly taken her mind off of anything 'That's what she said'.
"Train, let's just get this over with quickly, alright?"
"That's what she said."
