[ He'll bring that empty plate to the sink later, probably, but now he just sat down so he's going to stay there for a little bit. ]

It's called "peach".

[ They probably didn't have it on Paradis! At least, Levi probably didn't have it. But it smelled nice in the tea, so he took the risk. ]

Sounds like he's been more open with you than me.

[ He shares that sense of responsibility, though, if in a slightly different way. He'd never been the one who promised answers or solutions, not unless it was just a copious amount of violence. But there's no doubt in his mind that he contributed to things ending up the way they did all the same. ]

[ It's almost funny, really. All these years have passed, they've literally ended up in a different world, and yet they're still struggling with some of the same questions. He doubts they can think of solutions for back home at this point -- it doesn't matter, it already happened -- but perhaps it is still an option here. ]

[ And this place follows a whole different set of rules, doesn't it? ]


You know... this place. Magic. The people here. [ The words feel stiff between his teeth, but he forces himself to put one after another anyway. ] Some are capable of things I never considered real. [ Vampires. Fairies. Telepaths. Segment leaders changing entire landscapes with a wave of their hands. ] Something or someone might actually be able to-- I don't know, extract that whole curse from him, right? [ They could even ask on the network. They know how to use it and haven't been attacked by monkeys when they did, right? ]

[ The real question is, would Eren agree to something like that? He must feel quite ingrained with his powers now. Perhaps it would feel like sawing off your own arm. But then, if he really didn't want to go back to his future, would it not be a fair exchange? And if he refused, would that not mean that he wasn't quite willing to cast that future away completely, wanting at least an option to make it happen, "just in case"? Too many unknowns and what-ifs, even assuming they can actually find something or someone who might be able to do something about it. ]

[ What a pain. Why is it always like this? ]
