The daylight was quickly fading, as they had decided to leave at night. A dangerous decision but- from Hanji's research- the titan's were less active at night. It might just be there safest bet. Petra tugged herself onto the back of her precious Jasmine. That was enough to draw a smile onto her face.
"Is everyone ready?" Levi called in a stern voice.
Just like that the fragile smile was cracked, each shard falling off til she was left with a plain straight line across her lips. "Yes, sir." She returned.
Levi's gaze wandered to her and noticeably tensed his grip on the reins. "Good, just.."his words trailed off as the crowd of his unit gave the signal of ready. A loud chorus of yells. He turned his back, once more, on the strawberry blonde. "Then let's head off."
With that command they took off in full theory of the plan, willing to place there all into it.

(LEVI'S P.O.V)
The ride carried on smoothly. The titan's didn't seem as- attentive- as usual. It was almost soothing. Aside the occasional pass of a four to six meters. But suddenly, as his gaze made search of the area, he caught Petra Ral in his sights once more. His actions the night before were surely too much for her, but what could he do? She was going to tell her father of them- that would surely end badly. For if she died it'd have been his fault to blame, in eyes of her endearing father. He couldn't leave him spiteful like Petra had become of her mothers death... Although the circumstances were different. And what was going on through that thought process? Weither he did or did not marry the young woman, she was still a member of his squad and he was to protect her with all his might. Even so. - As his thoughts became unbearably heavy, he realized all too slowly that she had returned his blank stare with one of confusion.
"Levi?" She mouthed.
Her jerked his head to the side to direct his attention else where. The path before him. He couldn't turn back on his choice to let her go and be with someone safe somewhere else. Make her hate him and be happy somewhere else... somewhere that she wasn't.. in constant battle for her life. That's all he should focus on. Not himself. Not now.
