"Mmhmm! Take a look at it, Erwin!"

Hange picks up one of the lobsters by the tail, dangling it in front of the (other) former Commander. The vendor shoots them a dirty look but it's fine- they'll pay for it anyone once the two of them are done prodding at it, because if nothing else they can take the shell apart and snoop at the insides if Erwin wants to. It's already dead, after all.

"Look at the size of its pincers! I bet it could chop a finger off if it wanted!" The thought of which only serves to make Hange's smile brighten even further, the world truly is full of wonderful and delightful creatures!

After a moment of bickering with the vendor- Hange assuring him that they are going to pay for anything they pick up- the man seems to relax and in spying an opportunity to make some money, hands over a basket so they may collect whatever they wish.

"I don't know if our own shores had them or not... Honestly, even once we finally discovered it, I feel like I couldn't spend the time that I wanted to seeking things out like sea life. Not when everything else was happening..."

"You know what I'm getting at, right, Erwin?" He knows better than anybody else, the price needing to be paid once you sit in the commander's seat. Too often than not, your own personal desires or hobbies are shoved into the back burner for the good of the scouts...
