If he doesn't want to talk, I'm not going to force him.
[ It's... probably not dangerous here? He thinks so, at least. And while it's true that there's the possibility that Eren does want to talk but holds himself back out of some misguided guilt or self hatred or whatever, Levi would rather let him go at it in his own pace, whatever it is. ]
[ But while Levi might not talk to everyone here as much as Hange does, that doesn't mean he doesn't keep tabs on them. It doesn't mean he wouldn't step up if he deemed it necessary, or one of them was in trouble. His own care is just... a little more detached, perhaps, a little more emotional distance, even though he's aware it's moot at this point because the damn brats already got under his skin. ]
[ And that's why it was -- would be -- so painful to lose any of them. ]
...yeah.
[ He doesn't know if his judgement should be trusted anymore. He's made some bad calls in recent times, more than he has throughout his whole life. Maybe he was losing his touch, or maybe the times had just changed so much he got left behind with his ideals and assumptions about life. ]
[ But he trusts Hange's judgement. If they think he's fit for this, then he will be. Co-parenting efforts indeed. ]
[ He huffs quietly, feeling the compulsion to be somewhat offended for old times sake but at the same time finding that he genuinely doesn't care that much, not after living through a time when he wasn't going to hear Hange's extensive babbling or have them pilfer his supplies ever again. It's all so small now when compared to that. ]
Stole it, you mean.
[ It's fine. He can buy so much tea now and this just means he has something acceptable at Hange's too. Of course he can't just tell them it's okay, though. ]
