Strictly saluting the young soldiers stood in line in front of their commander, who introduced them Hanji's well elaborated plan for the next week. Next to him there stood a frowning corporal who didn't know his job, too. Probably, as he feared, he constantly had to sweep seceded fir needles from the floor.
"As you know" Erwin began with a powerful voice banging through the whole corridor "there are five days until Christmas. I expect a full use of physical strength from everybody, preparing a perfect feast."
The answer was a consistent salute, fists pressing against the hearts.
"Mikasa and Jean, you will get a fir tree from the forest and collect mistletoes." Levi sighed, but Erwin continued unwaveringly: "Reiner and Berthold will arrange the outdoor lighting, Eren and Armin the interior decoration. Sasha and Connie will help Levi in the kitchen."
"Erwin, I can't cook" he interrupted sibilantly.
The commander turned around to his comrade and whispered: "I haven't finished talking."
"But I cannot cook!"
"Then your task will be washing the dishes." Full-throatedly he applied to the rest of the recruits giving orders. "Ymir and Christa will make garlands."
"Wait a minute" Ymir shouted grimly "Christa is capable of more than cutting crummy shreds of paper."
"No, it's okay. I like to do it" said the blonde angel next to her. "I have volunteered myself."
"No everything is clear" Erwin declared gleefully. „By the way Hanji will care for the Christmas music."
After knowing their jobs the recruits left the corridor, leaving the corporal and the commander behind.
"You did a great job again" Levi muttered sarcastically, but Erwin was blissfully unaware of his guilt.
"It was Hanji's plan, I only give the orders. Furthermore you like cleaning, there's no reason to complain."
"And apart from the chaos in our kitchen I bet that those brats will make bets about who will stand with me under mistletoe."
