001 [ written / action ]
[ written ]
[ Neat, concise, practical penmanship. Erwin does quite a lot of writing. ]
I would like to extend my thanks to those so quick to help newcomers. It is very much appreciated. Though I believe I am fairly well informed at this point, I have a few more specific questions:
Lastly: I ask that Jean Kirstein and Marco Bott contact me as soon as possible.
[ action ]
[ Erwin's been in Luceti only a few days, but he'd memorized the layout of the village on the first. Food, clothing, weapons--he knows where to find these things, and he's been noting all of the smaller shops besides. He's far from content, but he is adapting, though still on high alert. He is well aware already that there is little he will be able to do immediately. But he can prepare to do more, and that is precisely what he is planning on.
He can be found at the smithy looking at weapons, at the grocery store (Levi wants non-perishables, wants to stock up), sitting outside looking through his journal--green cape around his shoulders, hiding his wings with more wings--or just about anywhere else by appointment. ]
[ warning: there will likely be spoilers for recent attack on titan manga chapters in castmembers' threads. while we won't drop spoilers on someone unrelated, if you're reading along, beware! ]

I would like to extend my thanks to those so quick to help newcomers. It is very much appreciated. Though I believe I am fairly well informed at this point, I have a few more specific questions:
- Have you ever been drafted for service in the war? Volunteered for it? If so, what was asked of you?
- How frequently are you and/or those you know taken in for experimentation? If you have first-hand experience with this, do you recall what happened?
- Based on your experiences in Luceti, what is your personal opinion of the Malnosso?
Lastly: I ask that Jean Kirstein and Marco Bott contact me as soon as possible.

Good.
[ He'll relieve you of some of that, then, Levi--as much as he can carry in one arm, as the other is already full. That should make the burden more manageable, at least. ]
We can return as many times as we need to.
[ This is Erwin genuinely agreeing. Conserving food is important, and Levi's zealousness is honestly appreciated. ]
no subject
[Levi picks up about five of the bags, draping two over his shoulders and easily grabbing up the others. There's still about six more remaining that they can't carry between the two of them.]
I'm not leaving anything that I've taken the time to collect. Let's go.
no subject
All right.
[ They'll return for those as soon as they can, then. But for now, Erwin leads the way out--they really don't have to pay for any of it, do they, no one is stopping them--and toward the path that will lead them back to their building. ]
I suppose we'll find out soon enough if there are any harmful effects from eating what they provide us.
[ They've been here for a few days already, and they've been eating, and nothing notable has happened yet. ]
Will you care for me if I take ill, Levi?
[ Erwin, striving to remain constantly serious and pragmatic for his troops, doesn't joke with many people; only those he knows well. Levi is one of them, though he tends not to appreciate Erwin's strained attempts at humor. ]
no subject
[Erwin jokes sometimes, and Levi usually scowls at him because they're usually terrible jokes. This time though, he can't really find it funny, just...ironic. Who will care for him if he falls ill? If only he'd just become ill and not actually lost his right arm. He's damn lucky to be alive still, but his partially incapacitated state makes Levi quietly anxious.]
[He doesn't respond, staring steadfastly at the path ahead of them.]
no subject
But sometimes Levi simply doesn't want to be bothered. Perhaps there's a lot on his mind. Erwin can relate to that. He remains silent for the remainder of the walk back to their building, allowing himself to be consumed by his own thoughts. He thinks on the information he's acquired, the people he's met, and the nature of Luceti itself. The peaceful village he's familiarized himself with is only one piece of the puzzle. There are other so-called 'enclosures' like this, meaning that there is far more to be seen beyond Luceti's barriers. The Malnosso seem like so powerful an obstacle as to be nearly impossible to overcome. Luckily, Erwin is used to facing bad odds. He isn't discouraged.
When they reach Flame Building, he takes the initiative to open the door first, holding it for Levi after him. ]
no subject
The silence had stretched too long when he finally realized he hadn't answered. They've reached the building, and he follows after Erwin dutifully. Up in the apartment they've claimed, he puts down the bags, rolling his shoulders stiffly.]
You know I'll do whatever you need me to do. Whether it's killing titans or pouring tea down your throat.
