[ They really did, and so clearly they have nobody to blame but themselves. On the bright side, at least the oddly upsetting, emotionally charged moment from minutes ago seems to have morphed into something more familiar for both of them. ]

[ Levi takes a step forward after them, menacingly. ]

After full four days of gathering dust? That won't be enough.

[ Guess who's gonna be occupied scrubbing down all of his floors? ]

[titanscience]

[It's going to be Levi, right? Right....?]

[Hange lets out a nervous laugh while discreetly taking another step backwards.. oh what a familiar feeling this is.]

Eh.. if it's only been Eren here, it's probably not that bad.. in my opinion..

[Taking another step backwards towards the doorway..]

Either way, I need to go and get my phone if you want me to turn it on, so...!

[Hange begins to turn around, about a second away from making a run for it!]

[wingbound]

[ Levi and what knees?.. ]

[ Hange might think they're being subtle, but Levi has been reading through their bullshit for years, so yes, he sees those tiny steps of retreat. ]

[ He reaches out to grab them by the scruff of their clothes right as they're about to leg it. ]

Oi, what's the rush? I've got everything you need here.

[ For the cleaning! Which is definitely happening! ]

I'm sure Eren will be thrilled to have help, especially considering his little rebellion was apparently your idea.

[ Congratulations, you're both in trouble! ]

[titanscience]

[Hange wraps both hands around Levi's, trying to pry it from their clothing. Talk about an overreaction!]

I'm not doing it! The Roomba can manage by itself! Actually-- I just remembered that I left stew burning on my stove, so I've gotta head back before it makes a mess! Sorry-!

[Still trying to get those hands of! Let go!]

[wingbound]

[ Considering it may be the hand with only three fingers, the attempt will probably succeed sooner or later! ]

Oh, you're not? Guess I'll have to tell Eren that you abandoned him in the mess you both made, then. Should give him something to think about next time you give him an order.

[ THIS IS EXPLICIT INSUBORDINATION-- ]

[titanscience]

After everything he did, you're really going to complain to him him for actually following his superior's orders?

[maybe its a low blow (sorry eren) but Hange is determined to win this little debate, still attempting to wriggle free from that iron grip.]

I'm not giving in! You can watch the Roomba suck up dust and spend that time thinking about how worried I was! I haven't forgotten, you know!

[LET. GO!!!]

[wingbound]

Oi oi oi, isn't he going to draw the same conclusions whether I complain or not?

[ NOT A GOOD LESSON TO IMPART ON SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO DO GENOCIDE, COMMANDER!! ]

[ The thing that does get to him, however, is them reminding him how much he worried everyone with his little excursion (even if he still thinks the message should have been enough to alleviate such concern!) which is probably a calculated low blow, but it's not like he hasn't been manipulated by commanders before. He goes quiet, his expression softening a little, and his grip loosens enough that Hange should be able to slip out without too much trouble. ]

[ Will they feel bad about this enough not to run off immediately though? We're about to find out. ]

[titanscience]

I'm taking responsibility for it, so I'm telling you not to bother him! Besides, he was really worried about you too, instead of bitching you should be apologizing!

[The moment his grip loosens Hange begins to wriggle out of it, taking a moment to adjust their clothing once completely free. Sheesh!.]

[And as for taking responsibility for the state of the apartment...]

--Well! The app is on my phone, and my phone is in my kitchen! So-!

[YEAH, BYE!!!! Hange scampers out of there, making a sprint of freedom towards their own apartment.]

i guess that's a wrap... four months later,,

[wingbound]

Tch. [ He has nothing to apologize for! But he does kind of feel bad about worrying him too. Ugh, what a mess. ]

[ He gives Hange a hard stare. ]

I don't care if you decide it among yourselves, but one of you is scrubbing this floor, today.

[ They should know he's not going to budge on this! ]

[ But it seems he's not going to physically come after them (yet). Instead he sighs and slowly moves to the kitchen to make himself a cup of god damn tea. ]

yes... /wrap...

[titanscience]

[Hange won't come back over for a while, not until they think he's forgotten about the floors (unlikely) or Eren got roped into cleaning it anyway (more likely)

But while he brews his tea, he will at least notice the Roomba giving off a few sad little beeps as it whirrs back to life...]
