[Hange had been worried, perhaps more than necessary, but they accept the apology with no resistance. They had also been in the wrong, after all, perhaps more-so seeing as their decision to not say anything and fuck off into the wilderness is what caused this whole episode to begin with.]

I was worried, but it wasn't all your fault. I didn't know that sometimes the phones won't work when you're far away..

[So even this technology has its flaws too, huh? They don't use pen and paper letters any more, there is no need to, but perhaps they should be keeping something like that around as a backup just in case?]

[The peach gets set down, the uneaten side now resting on the table as Hange uses both hands to quickly grab one of Levi's, slightly sticky fingers wrapping around his own.]

I'm sorry I didn't tell you, even though I was trying to spare your feelings. Don't worry, I won't do it again! If something similar happens I'll just tell you, and then I'll bitch when you ignore it anyway.

[It will be opposite day, like all the times Levi bitches when Hange immediately does something he says not to do. Though they feel this was slightly more serious than, say, picking up lobsters on the beach.]

Next time they offer up a long mission outside of the city, let's just go together, yes?
