[ It's been a few years since then, hasn't it? Just because he used to be fifth doesn't mean he still is! ]
[ They're a bit of an inverse mirror of each other that way; Levi gained more emotions as he got older. It's part of why Eren's blank stare on that airship stung as deeply as it has; it's not only the desolate bastards of the Underground that he knows that look from. He had worn it once himself, too, when the world had left him to die. ]
...Yeah.
[ He knows they're fine. He knows that he's probably overreacting a little... but then, there could be unknown poisonous creatures around, and Hange was dead, and he got them back, and how fucking stupid it would be if they just perished again because they let some weird critter sting them? ]
[ Just like he knows that Eren probably isn't going to endanger the people here, but it just feels irresponsible not to keep an eye out regardless. He's living his second chance here, too, after all. ]
[ Levi looks a little surprised at the observation, but the sunglasses are certainly complimenting his poker face pretty well as he glances down at the lei. ]

[ Which, again, double babysitting duty! Concessions had to be made!! ]
