[Eren listens, dutiful as he is with Captain Levi, even after all he's been through - it's hard to look him in the eye, though. There are an awful lot of people in this world, and his world, and probably any world that are much smarter than Eren, and that's glaringly obvious right now. Captain Levi is one of them. Maruki is another...]
Thank you. [He means it.] I will. [He'll try.] If anything happens...
[Finally, he meets Levi's eyes, firm.] You'll be the first to know, Captain.
[ His goal certainly isn't to shame Eren or anything like it. It comes down to experience, really, and Levi can only hope that he'll remember his guidance, even if he decides not to act on it. ]
...good.
[ He gestures to the gear. ]
Anyway. Even with what I said earlier, you've gotten a lot better. Keep it up.
[Then, the decision is his. He's not too great at making the right ones. He'll be careful this time. He really will...lmao and IIIII live in the future
[They're back to talking about his ODM maneuvers, and he's grateful. The praise doesn't hurt.
[He nods, firm. His fist goes to his heart - still, yes, even to this day.]
[ The salute isn't necessary, but Levi takes it as a more solid indication that Eren does still choose to listen to him, or at least try. At least part of him is still a soldier.
Seemingly satisfied, and just to leave him with one last little bit of encouragement, Levi reaches up a hand to gently squeeze Eren's shoulder before stalking away again. ]
