Summary: Rivetra Week 2014 Prompt Day 7
"How is she doing?" Levi sat at a wooden table, plate of untouched snacks before him.
Petra sighed. "Physically, she is well. But mentally and emotionally? I'm worried about her."
"It's a shitty situation, but we need this to ensure the survival of our people."
"I suppose, sir."
"You don't have to call me that. I'm no longer your captain."
She hadn't referred to him as sir in a while. It slipped out occasionally, though. Petra smiled and said, "Old habits."
"We're equals now, in every way. Well, you're a personal guard to Queen Historia so maybe you do outrank me." Levi shrugged.
"Outrank Humanity's Strongest Soldier? I doubt it," Petra said almost teasingly.
He snorted. "That's not a proper rank. In any case, that stupid title became worthless years ago."
Silence filled the room at that.
"Any news from Eren?" Petra finally asked.
"The date is set. We'll meet up with that reckless dumbass the day of the attack," he informed her.
"Hmm," she said, playing with her ring. "Why do you think he moved on his own?"
"I don't know. But when I see him, I'm giving him a swift kick in the ass," Levi vowed, scowling.
Petra changed the topic to something lighter, talking about meeting her father and maybe getting a pet sometime down the road. Dogs were very useful and they were very lovable, she told him, trying to sell him of the idea of a pet.
Levi grumbled, nervous about the former and reluctant about the latter.
An hour later, he was ready to escort the doctor back to civilization.
"Take care, Levi." Petra stood and gave him a hug.
"I'll see you as soon as I can." He leaned in to kiss his fiancé goodbye.
