Levi nods; he already mentioned he knows someone who might help. He'll need to talk to Gabi about this but he can't imagine she would refuse; just because she seems to like him if nothing else. But she'll probably jump at the opportunity to help anyone, and there's no bad blood between her and the original Survey Corps anyway.

It's probably very familiar to Erwin, Levi's innate need to be useful, so deep ingrained that he's not even aware of it most times. But perhaps, to some extent, it had been driving him for a long time, and perhaps, it still is. Do well so that you're not abandoned again. Do well so that you're not a disappointment. Do well so that you won't be sent back.

Levi looks Erwin over critically. There are certainly some tasks that he wouldn't take an injured soldier on (the irony, considering his own state), but there's plenty every month that are harmless or even entertaining. And, of course, if Erwin does end up going regardless, Levi would rather be there with him than not.

"Fine by me," he finally says.
