The two are also shown to care about each other to the fact that they'll defend each other, during their argument with Jean he calls Sasha 'potato girl' which Sasha gets offended at the fact Jean called her names and Connie demands Jean to apologize to her until the argument nearly begins with a physical fight that is stopped by Reiner.

Before the night on taking Wall Maria back, the scouts are given meat, which Sasha seems to enjoy a lot due to her not disliking any sort of foods, the meat drives her mad and Connie tries to restrain her to make sure there is food for the others and begs her to calm down as he doesn't want to 'kill her', eventually Sasha is restrained and Connie tears up as he couldn't believe that once Sasha offered to share meat with everyone is the same person who wanted to steal the meat from everyone.
