[ Funny. That's one word for it. Definitely fitting, at times. Sometimes, the joke was fucking sick, and the punchline was drawn in blood. Levi has had plenty of time to think about it. ]
[ And nonetheless, here he is now, extending that fragile branch of faith again. ]
[ Eren deserves a chance at peace. ]
[ He sees that little twitch in the brat's expression -- not quite a smile, but closer than he's been to it in -- months? years? -- and the sharpness in his eyes gets a little softer, too. ]
Good.
[ It's laconic, as it sometimes tends to be with him, but it's also genuine. He is glad Eren wants to come along. Then he doesn't have to be alone. Then they can continue to be... whatever they've been working at so far. Not quite normal people, perhaps, but as close to it as their lives will allow. ]
[ He drinks his own tea, too, a nice long sip. ]
I'll let you know when we go to look at places. If you wanna join. [ Because since Eren's going to live there, too, it's only fair if he also gets equal input on what kind of a house they should get. ] We're thinking something that looks closer to home.
[ Just without titans. Or, well, with one sometimes-titan. But peaceful, hopefully. ]
I'm not moving somewhere without electricity or running hot water again, though.
[ He may be particularly fond of some of these new creature comforts. Like the washing machine, the cleaning pancake, soaking in a tub, hot showers whenever. They're nice. He could do without them, of course, but... he doesn't need to, and so, sees no reason to deny himself that now. They've earned it. ]
