[ Eren's own room is probably safe from scrutiny, although Levi might loudly judge him for it if he leaves his door open. He definitely seems to be in a (marginally) better mood as the cleaning effort continues, too, not that it can really be seen on his face. He seems to be completely caught up in the manual. ]
[ Except he's standing sitting guard there for a reason, and the moment the washing machine makes a noise, he'll be on it before Eren ever makes it from whatever room he's in at the moment. ]
I am resting. [ He points out, pulling the meager amount of laundry out and putting it in a plastic basket one by one so he can take a look before any drying takes place. ]
[ (Seriously, the man sleeps in a chair. This is the equivalent of watching TV from bed to him.) ]
[ He finally hands the basket over to Eren so that he can get the drying machine started, except, oh, he's still holding up a shirt that he didn't put in with the others. And it's faint, but there sure are some blood-like stains on the front (from when Levi punched in Eren's teeth, no doubt). If he dries it, it might set, so -- it's prohibited from proceeding. ]
[ He holds it out with two fingers as if it's unfathomably filthy, though his tone remains mellow. ]
It's still dirty. Wash it again.
[ Maybe the machine isn't as effective as the brat thinks. Maybe this needs a more... hands-on approach. ]
Soak it with some vinegar first. [ But wait. Wasn't there something about stains in the manual? He flips a few pages back. Something about a different "program"... ] Hm... or we could test this. [ He holds up the chosen page, detailing the different settings of the laundry cycles. ] "Pre-wash cotton is a longer program for tackling old stains and discoloration."
[ And now he's staring at Eren's face, unreadable. He's taking this way too seriously, isn't he-- ]
LMAO also gently alters the timeline, hope that works
