[ They indeed should because Levi immediately tenses with concern, but then just huffs and rolls his eyes at the explanation. ]

No shit.

[ If he's ever needed eye drops of any sort, he very much gets the feeling. If he hasn't... he probably still does, because that seems gross. He does still sort of watch them out of the corner of his eye, though, just in case something else happens, but that seems to be it. ]

[ He grumbles an acknowledgement for the gratitude without actually returning it as usual, and gets up to make some tea, as per their routines. Hange may not be growing anything (yet) but they still just suffered a procedure so naturally Levi has to treat them to a cup. ]

If this works... [ Wait, no, that's stupid. ]

[titanscience]

[By the time Levi has made the tea, Hange has their eyepatch back on and is back to rooting through whatever crap they've been writing out in their notebook this time— it really is business as usual once more.

They cannot allow themselves to be too hopeful, not yet, for the incident with Levi's eye could have simply been a huge fluke, but who knows. It would be nice to have proper depth perception again, even if the eyepatch is kind of a cool fashion statement.]

If it works, it's kinda cool, right? Think of all the others we could help out. We could dunk Erwin in it for starters.

[Surely Levi is thinking the same.]

*Levi's fingers, his eye is still fucked for now

[wingbound]

[ Levi sets a mug down in front of them and sits back down on the couch with his own, tentatively picking it up in his usual way with his half-new hand. The grip seems normal, he even feels the warmth from the cup, but it still feels so unreal. ]

[ That is exactly what he'd been thinking about, and he glances at Hange with a mix of hope and concern. ]

Worth a try, right? Bet he'd look really funny with a tiny little hand growing out.

[ He sort of wiggles his free hand's fingers next to his shoulder to mimic how he imagines that would look. Even fingers had been awkward; an entire arm? That's going to look grotesque until it's at the proper proportions. Worth it, though, right? ]

my baddddd 💀

[titanscience]

[Glad to see they both have the same, insane idea. Hange watches Levi's little wiggle as they try to picture what the hand would look like as it begins to grow, and they let out a laugh as it really is the funniest thing.]

Hah! It's worth trying just to see that. It would probably take months to grow too...

[For how calm their friend often is, it would honestly be hilarious seeing him wander around with his tiny baby arm as if nothing is wrong. But ah, the main point is that if it works he could potentially have a fully working arm by the time the year's up. Just imagine the possibilities...]

If this works, we'll definitely try it. And if dunking in the pool itself works... I wonder how many other people here could be healed by it.. .

[Of course Hange has no desire to make it public knowledge before they're done testing it out and using it... you wouldn't want the general public to trash the place and ruin it, after all.]

it happens 💀 they should probably also get his eye at some point tbf

[wingbound]

[ Well. Levi might insist that Hange is the insane one out of the two of them, but there's a reason they get along as well as they do. ]

Probably. I don't think I'll be able to take anything he says seriously.

[ There's plenty of things he'd still be able to take seriously, but there's no need to think about that part now. No, just three besties going about business as usual except somebody's got a tiny little arm coming out of their shoulder-- ]

[ Or maybe it wouldn't be silly like that at all, but now he can't stop thinking about it. ]

...I haven't met many people with missing body parts here. But you're right, there may be someone else who could use it.

[ That's not really something he's insistent on keeping to himself. But then, they did let the Leaders know what they found out so far - even if it didn't include growing back fingers from scratch back then - and he certainly isn't going to make an announcement, so. ]

if this eye thing works... his is next

[titanscience]

[hange is definitely daydreaming about Erwin's potential arm now, considering the possibilities. Would it be full sized yet grow centirmetre by centimetre until a stump becomes an arm? Or would it become a tiny, full arm first which gradually grows thicker, much like trees adding an extra ring to their bark each year? Hmm.....]

I haven't either, but there are a lot of people who live here, and we don't know everyone.

[But before making an announcement of any sort they need to be certain it works for various types of injuries, and this was not a lucky fluke. Only time shall tell.....]

Let's not tell anyone about this yet, though. Not until we know the outcome, whether it's good or bad. But I'm hoping I won't have to ask you to stab my eye out, that would be a bummer!

the suspense!

[wingbound]

[ Only one way to find out, it seems! ]

[ There's a little noise of agreement, because ultimately Levi does subscribe to making things better for everyone, so yes, that includes both sharing helpful things and making sure they're not actually harmful. ]

[ He gingerly picks up his tea and takes a sip. ]

You're not getting much use out of it anyway.

[ Just being a little asshole, no worries. He agrees. ]

[titanscience]

I know that, but it doesn't mean I want you to take it out! What if it hurts?

[Who knows honestly- it doesn't work but sometimes the light makes it ache which suggests something back there is trying to hold on.]

Though I suppose if it comes to that... hey, I can be an authentic sea robber, can't I? Hah!

it's shitposting hours again ig

[wingbound]

Oh, it will definitely hurt.

[ Levi?? That's not being supportive??? ]

You can. But you don't have to move to a boat and shit in a bucket just because you've lost an eye.

[ And that would be part of authenticity. ]

i love shitposting hours, my fave

[titanscience]

But what if I want to shit in a boat-bucket?

[They wouldn't be one of those mean sea-robbers but one of the good ones. Helping people out and claiming rewards for it while traversing port to port. Talk about a life of adventure!! Ah- but this world isn't suited to that, is it?]

Though there isn't a sea here, all we have is that giant lake and we already know what surrounds it, so that's no fun. I guess we won't be living on a boat after all, Levi.

[Because naturally if Hange is moving to a boat, he is coming with!]

yes

[wingbound]

[ Yeah, that question is just going to be met by Levi's look of abject horror and not deigned with a response. ]

[ (So they want to be L*ffy? Is that it???) ]

[ HE WOULD ABSOLUTELY BE COMING WITH and also dragging Erwin along at least, but that would definitely be after long, fruitless arguing and upgrading the ship to have running water and plumbing. But he wouldn't leave Hange to their own devices, no. ]

[ Which means, honestly, this is a relief, but also- ]

Oi. Leave me out of it.

[titanscience]

[BEING L*FFY WOULD BE AWESOME. Unfortunately Hange doesn't get to daydream further on it because—]

Huh? What do you mean, leave you out of it? You wouldn't come?

[You would stay here? On dry land??]

[wingbound]

[ WHAT IS WRONG WITH DRY LAND??? ]

You can't just decide where I'm going to live by yourself! Did you even ask if I like boats?

[ There, now you can feel bad instead, Hange! ]

[titanscience]

[man why are you like this]

[Hange lets out a HEAVY sigh.]

But Levi, you have to like boats! Remember the boat we took to Marley? It was nice, wasn't it?

[wingbound]

[ wdym he's always been like this ]

[ he bristles. that whole trip was depressing and while he (luckily) wasn't sick on the boat, it's hardly a memory he likes dwelling on because he'd spent most of that trip thinking about how Erwin should have been there to see all that amazing shit instead. ]

No.

[titanscience]

[Well HANGE thinks it was a ton of fun, just as this hypothetical boat trip is also going to be.]

Well I found it interesting! I'll go on my own, then. Or— I'm sure Erwin will!

[Then Levi will certainly follow— haha got 'em]

[wingbound]

[ Nice try, but they had him bristling even before that addition. ]

The hell you will. I'm not letting you out of my sight.

[ Oh, haha, guess he still hasn't recovered from then almost dying to poison noodles (not)... ]

[titanscience]

So you are coming...

[Satisfied, Hange gives a smug grin before moving to settle down next to Levi, likely with a new book on weird sea creature shit or whatever is the current obsession of the month.]

wrap and/or timeskip?

[wingbound]

[ Levi huffs and elbows them for good measure, but apparently doesn't have a more convincing argument. After a while, he might inquire about the shitty sea creatures though, because that's just his life now apparently. You never know what kind of funny things there may be out there!.. ]

lets wrap to make way for new and fun adventures

[titanscience]

[And Hange will certainly oblige, pointing out marine life that either looks weird or silly, or will interest Levi in some way. The topic eventually finds its way back to sea cucumbers again... the way that pearlfish live inside its anus, the fact that the butthole also controls respiration... the way they poop their organs out at predators in order to defend themselves before simply growing them back... they're just too weird man!!]

yes

[wingbound]

[ he never asked for any of this information and he will weaponize all of it ]
