Summary
“You said you’d come.” Levi responds, almost petulant, defensive. He has been waiting a long time. It’s shameful, how long he’d wait. Through hunger, yes. Through headaches, and exhaustion, and pain. He’d watch the walls and the palace behind it crumble into dust and a new world rise in its wake before he’d stop. But Erwin has never broken a promise before. Why should tonight be any different? Why tonight, when it might be their last? “You said you’d come tonight.”
Erwin smiles, one of the soft smiles he always gives to Levi. It does not reach his eyes. If Levi were human, he would let himself drown.

Summary
The way Erwin’s gaze suddenly lashes into Levi is bruising. He swallows, rubs at his wrist as if slapped. He looks away, because he doesn’t have to see it, that look. He’s not obligated. What right does Erwin have to demand anything of him? What does a prince of the land have over a creature of the sea?
“Apologies, your highness.” He mutters. He imagines flinging that stupid book into the sea.
