Two shouts, coming from opposite sides of the mess hall, startled everyone, even causing some of the soldiers to fall off their seats and others to choke on their food.
"SILVIA!" "HANJI!'"
The scientist suddenly jumped from her seat and over the table before starting to run; the newcomer simply took off running, leaving behind the dumbfounded corporal of the Survey Corps. In a few seconds, right at the center of the room, both women were on their knees, embracing each other and crying out loud apologies.
Confused, the scouts that had joined the Corps in more recent years either stared silently at the odd duo or whispered among each other about the strange show.
Quietly, Levi opted to ignore the whole commotion and swiftly moved towards his seat. Paying no mind to the curious soldiers and the two women, the corporal focused on his food while chatting with the other squad leaders.

10 minutes passed by...
"Erwin~!" one, Hanji, chanted.
"What is it?" unknowingly, the commander sighed in exasperation. He had never forgotten how this worked; Hanji, even if maddening, was not so hard to predict, as he had come to find out throughout the years, however... when the 2 were together, that was a different matter, it had made him wonder whether Hanji really was the mad one. From filling Shadis' office with frogs to somehow convincing Mike to smell a a gigantic flower that had the scent of a foul corpse CLOSE. And now, the duo was back, and nothing and no one would be able to discourage the scientist again... How could he even hope to know what to expect...?
"We're taking our breakfasts with us!" the shorter of the two cheered.
Their food vanished from the table in less than a second and the exploding sound of the heavy door closing echoed for a good minute; still, even such sound could not overcome the women's loud tones...
"You'll love my test subjects, they're so energetic!"
"I can't wait! And I have my own notes too!"
"Really?!"
"Yeah, I'll tell you everything!"
"Awesome!"
"No more peace..." Erwin sighed.
"Like we ever had any!" Levi mocked.
