[ Well, they do. Same with Erwin. Even Armin eventually; maybe it's something about being blond... ]

[ Just kidding. It's because they have things to say, and a way with words more befitting an audience than any speeches Levi ever gave. Which is exactly why he feels no shame asking them for help. ]

Mm. Well, anything on the topic of geography or history is probably a good start.

[ Too bad that even if the books had been sorted by theme at some point, there's definitely a sizeable portion of them just mixed in all around. Maybe they should fix that while they're cleaning, too. ]

[ He thinks for a little while before answering the question. ]

If a peaceful life can be called a goal rather than a hope, I suppose it's that. Especially for those who have no place back home anymore.

[ He doesn't want to name which ones of Historia's friends are among them, on the chance that she does not know yet -- at least about Sasha; Eren may have come clean to her by now. But he knows she should be aware of Erwin at least, and even it being just him explains Levi's position well enough. ]

I do still need this world safe to that end.

[ So everyone's goals align in that regard. He intends to give his all to this fight, even if his all isn't as much as it used to be. ]
