[ Won't. Deliberate. Someone else might find that knowledge intimidating. Levi just figures it means they're both thinking the same thing. On the same page, so to speak. It's not exactly surprising, giving his current state. ]
[ Still changes nothing. He's not afraid. ]
[ Levi's got his back to him so nonchalantly, as if he's a cadet being punished for roughhousing and not a monster with the power to end everything. Well, maybe being treated like a human will help him feel more like one, too. Who knows. ]
[ Slowly but surely, he makes it to the closet in question. He knows how it looks. He's also glad Eren didn't decide to interfere. The last thing he wants is to be pitied, or treated like he's broken (even if he kind of is). No, he needs to do this. For himself, if nobody else. He's allowed to do that now, isn't he? ]
[ Funnily enough, of all things, he doesn't blame his injuries on Eren. That was all him fucking up by himself, as far as he's concerned. Too impatient, too blinded by revenge, too eager to set things right. Too dismissive of his enemy. In the end, he'd ended up drunk on something too, hasn't he? ]
No? [ He reiterates, his head practically in the closet as he retrieves, indeed, all of the cleaning supplies that Eren apparently owns. ] That's new.
[ Because it definitely would be. He's just humoring Eren, though; it will take more than that to convince him that it's really fine to leave him alone. ]
[ He shoves the box with the cleaning supplies in Eren's general direction once he moves. ]
--Oy, don't just dribble blood all over.
[ Whose fault is that, though?! ]
This should be enough to get you started. [ Ouch, only that. Levi slowly stands back up. ] I'm going to get more things from the store.
[ Of course. Eren's cleaning stash: snubbed. ]
[ He contemplates getting a new crutch, too, not that he's going to mention it aloud right after they both so successfully ignored his injury. Just getting there is going to be a pain, though. He notices a large, sturdy looking umbrella in the corner of the closet -- maybe left by previous tenants, who knows -- and decides that it'll do in a pinch. ]
Later.
[ The stains better not be set in when he gets back. ]
