Ten minutes and Erwin still has not shown.
Levi draws the heavy fabrics tightly around himself. When he exhales he can see the little puffs of his breath and it is annoying. He is definitely a warm weather person, never taking to the winter very easily and the rate of his irritability soars. Waiting around on the street corner for the commander is exasperating. Admittedly there are much warmer places to stand in Sina, but while he is wearing his military uniform with the Survey Corps emblem the wealthy citizens tend to stare in a mixture of awe and suspicion. So the hell with it, he'd rather put up with the fact that his long johns were riding up under his trousers than to be ogled at like a sideshow attraction.
He would be content just to stand there and hate the world, only really cannot bring himself to do it when Petra is so near.
With her… boyfriend.
The taller, redheaded man looks everywhere but at Levi and for good reason. His hard, intimidating grey glare easily compensates for the height difference. Petra had said his name, but Levi forgets unimportant facts within seconds and merely nodded.
Obviously he is not a military bred boy. He'd probably shit his pants the moment he sees a titan. Petra stands between them, shivering through an encouraging smile, and because she is the woman of course the gentlemanly thing for them to do is keep her warm. Levi is holding her right hand in both his own while the boy cradles her other. An awkward moment of tug-of-war seems to ensue because the men will not talk to each other, rather pull Petra closer to one side and whisper something quietly into her ear. She dutifully moves back and forth between the two until Erwin's blond head appears on the opposite end of the street. She releases Levi's hand first and he can feel the cold settle in.
"I'll see you in a few days, Heichou. Alfred is taking me home to our papa today! We've got some catching up to do." Her wave is so cheerfully oblivious. When Erwin finally reaches Levi, he notices the bulging vessel in his forehead but he simply attributes it to the long johns riding up again.
