Chapter 6:

Father Levi x Character Daughter

I keep apologizing for not updating as much as I should. But this time, I'm out of Golf, I'm out of Swimming this week. So thus I should be writing more chapters often! I'm glad that you guys love this story, and my other one Hunting Players is taking off too. I was thinking about starting a Fnaf one (for those who may know what that is) here soon. Ah so much writing… not enough time! But as always, I don't own anything from SnK and I just thought this would be a cute idea.

-Ensrahi-

Rahi woke up the next day to an empty bed and sunshine. She yawned, noting it was day time and that her sleep schedule was officially back into what her dad told her as "normal". At least that's what Rahi hoped; her dreams showed her of a mister, and how he found her… She wasn't exactly sure what they were about, but they seemed familiar. Climbing out the large queen bed, Rahi went into the bathroom to take a bath and clean herself up for the day. Taking off her normal night gown, Rahi looked down at herself… she was still bony, and weak.

Rahi agreed to herself from that point on, she'd make herself stronger to help her father out when she could.

When Rahi finally exited the room with her long raven hair pulled up, she wore black pants and a slightly too big flannel shirt with her normal brown boots. She was still a tiny seven year old, and yet most of the cadets Rahi passed wished her a good morning. Rahi felt excited that people could see her, and there wasn't any titans around that could threaten any of the HQ… She than went up to a rather tall horse looking cadet.
"Excuse me sir…? Do you know where the mess hall is?" Rahi asked in her tiny voice as the horse face looked down to her.
"Um, yeah it's down the hall to the left." He answered in a rather flustered yet polite tone.
"Great! Can you come with me there?" Rahi beamed as Horseface gave a rather confused face.
"I can't. Levi gave me a bunch of chores." He explained, as Rahi's face widened to the point where Horseface thought she was going cry.
"B-but he's my daddy, and I wanted to make him some tea…" She whimpered as Horseface panicked.
"Okay okay! Just don't cry!" he exclaimed picking her up on his shoulders. Rahi gasped, Horseface was so much taller than her daddy.
"Yay! Onward cadet to the mess hall!" she showed no signs of crying anymore as Horseface just realized he had been played by a tiny Corporal.

-Jean-

"So why are you making tea for Levi?" Jean asked watching Rahi boil water in the kitchen. He sat down on a stool nearby, watching as Rahi was adding tea leaves, cream and sugar.
"Because he needs something good once and a while. He says that the new cadets tire him out because of their idiocy." Rahi explained bluntly, as Jean nearly choked on his own air. What a vulgar thing to say to a child! But then again… it was Levi's daughter.
"He lets you go out on your own all the time? Shouldn't he be watching you?" Jean asked as he stood up to pick up Rahi so she could reach one of Levi's tea sets in the cabinets.
"I don't see why he should. Levi told me something about me being able to survive on my own for a couple weeks in Trost… I think." Rahi explained as Jean helped her set up the tea cup and pour the boiling water into the teapot through a strainer. He saw the leaves stuck at the top yet none of the flavor was lost in the tea. She was definitely Levi's daughter indeed if she could make such good tea.
"Huh. Hey do you want to see Hanji? I think Levi was with her last time I saw." Jean offered, as Rahi smiled brightly.
"Okay!"

Jean made sure that Rahi holding the tray with the teacup and he held the pot as they walked out in the courtyard. He spotted the squad leader's tent not too far from where the titans were being kept, and guided Rahi away from the titans and near the tent where he could hear them bickering.
"Damn it shitty-glasses! I told you not to put them in the court yard!" a familiar voice growled as almost insane giggling could be heard. Jean assumed that this was Hanji.
"Oh but just imagine the possibilities! I cannot give them comfort, but I can't wait to dig into their flesh and see their skeletons!" Hanji smiled, as Jean knocked on the wooden beam supporting the tent. Levi and Hanji looked at the two figures poking through the tent.
"Um… I don't mean to bother, Squad Leader and Corporal, but someone has a present for Levi." Jean managed to get out as Rahi came forward with the tray of tea and Jean put down the teapot on a nearby table. Levi blinked in surprise, the most emotion that Jean had ever seen on his face. Rahi smiled as she took the teapot and poured a cup of earl grey tea for her father. Levi took the cup and sipped it lightly, making a slight moan of satisfaction.
"Horseface, you're dismissed. Go finish your chores, and they have been cut in half for helping my daughter." Levi commanded as Jean gave a hearty salute.
"Yes sir!" than he left.

-Levi-

"Oh aren't you just the sweetest thing!" Hanji smiled, picking up Rahi and smothering her in love. The little girl squeaked as Levi managed to crack a small smile while he sat down in a nearby chair. Hanji sat her on Levi's lap.
"How would you like to help me with the titans today Rahi?" Hanji offered, as Levi growled in warning. But this tea just seemed to make his day better with each sip, it was like Rahi knew exactly when he needed a good pot of tea. Especially with Hanji setting up base here in the courtyard that he was supposed to clean today.
"What exactly are titans Auntie Hanji?" Rahi asked, as Levi groaned burying his head into Rahi's clean hair. It was still a little damp around the ends, but it wasn't anything to be too concerned about.
"I'm glad you asked my young titan slayer." Hanji began as a devilish smile crossed her lips. Rahi wondered what exactly she had asked the woman… if it was something worth listening to.
"Where shall I begin Levi?" Hanji asked smiling, as Rahi actually spoke up.
"Where do titans come from? What is their goal? How become there is so many of them?" Rahi fired off questions as Levi realized what she wanted truly. Rahi wanted to become knowledgeable, strong… like him.
"We don't know where the titans come from, and we can only determine that they just want to eat humans; we don't know how they reproduce yet." Hanji explained pulling up a chair.
"Well how become is that? How come they can appear out of thin air, yet they have no reproductive organs?" Rahi asked again, as Hanji began to think.
"I'm not entirely sure Rahi, but I think if we managed to get close to a titan's pack we might be able to know." Hanji explained, as Rahi nodded in understanding.
"Well, in Trost, some of them fell asleep at night, but the ones that were really big tended to stay awake and watch the moon like some kind of candle…" Rahi explained out of the blue. Levi looked up at Hanji, as she was just as surprised.
"What do you mean Rahi?" She asked as Rahi shrugged.
"At night, they would sleep in packs but the really big titans would actually just stand and look at the moon. Then they would begin to roar in frustration and begin to fight each other. The biggest one would win and then he would slink away to the more deeper parts of Trost." Rahi explained, as Hanji was writing this all down furiously. Levi was trying to wrap his mind around what Rahi had just explained.
"Does this mean, they have some form of structural power? Kind of like a dominance thing?" Hanji asked, as Rahi's eyes beamed.
"Exactly! That's what it was!" she seemed rather excited this time.
"They're kind of like a pack of wolves…" Levi murmured, as he saw it. Titans went around in packs but it never seemed like they had some form of actual communication skills… unless they were looking at it all wrong.
"Hanji, what if titans communicated through body language rather than actual words?" Levi asked as he put down his cup. Hanji didn't even answer as she bolted out the tent to the titans, Levi picked up Rahi and followed Hanji out to the court yard where the titans were. They huffed, and breathed heavy as Hanji stood in front of them. Levi watched as Hanji actually went in front of one.
"Well Bean, tell me what you know." She smiled as then punched the thing in the nose. It tried to jump forward and bite Hanji as she moved back quickly. Hanji even wider as she bit her teeth together making a snap sound. It groaned lightly staring at Hanji in confusion as Hanji couldn't believe what she was seeing. It was true, Titans communicated through body language.

"Levi… your daughter is a genius!"
