The Story:

[Yo, Levi

Why was that annoying voice ringing in his ear? Maybe because that old fart was the last thing he heard, that and the sound of gunfire. Not a pleasant thing to dwell on, but most things in the mind of the Captain were not pleasant to begin with.

The cold chill of the wind whipped through his hair as the goosebumps started to form on his skin. What was going on? He remembered it was chilly in the town they had been in, but this was a bit much. It was then that his stomach began to turn into his throat. His head spun even though his eyes were shut. This feeling of sickness was something he could only describe by comparing it to when 3D gear failed to catch. It was the feeling of falling.

Steel eyes snapped open at that to see the it wasn't just a feeling; he was falling, and from quite the distance. Above him was nothing but clouds, the sides of him were nothing but green plains, and below him was stone and water. His mind raced for a moment when he realized that was nothing for him to catch onto. Even with his 3D gear strapped to his sides, there were useless with no trees or buildings. His best bet was to get into the water, and hope that he didn't become a stain on the stone walkway.

He was falling fast, he didn't have time to think of another plan. His body turned so that he his stomach was to the earth with his legs and arms spread to slow his body down. It wasn't until the last possible moment that he tilt his body to fall feet first and collide into the water of the pond. The splash had enough force for quite a bit of water (and fish) to be displaced outside of the pond. Lucky for him it was deep enough for him to survive, but the crack he heard and the pain that was now in his left arm meant he didn't come out of this unscratched.

With his arm now held close to his body he pushed off of the bottom, but with nothing but his legs to power him back to the surface he found himself starting to sink once more. With stabbing pain in his body, he moved his arms to unhook his 3D gear from his hips. He would just have to get them later, right now he needed to figure out what the hell was going on.

There was a loud gasp for air as he broke the surface. Green algae hung off the side of his head and in his ear. How repulsive. His face was twisted into a disgusted sneer as he shook it off of him and latched onto the side of the pond. He finally had the time to see where exactly he was. The sun was warm, he could hear birds now and for some reason he heard music too. This was all too calm, where was the shitty town he had been in? The blood, the gunfire? This manor was one he had never seen before, and these gardens...they looked like they belonged in Wall Sina.]

What the fuck is this shit?

He will learn from Levi's words. There are many ways to grow, and loss is one of them that Eren is already familiar with as well. The difference between this time and that time is that the people he has to protect now are Armin and Captain Levi himself.

Forcing himself not to act too moody, he halfheartedly pitches in on the conversation. "It looks pretty bad, sir."

As much as he wants to say it was nothing to worry about he knows better. He could barely lift his arm right now without it throbbing in retaliation. He needs to get better quickly if they had any hope of trying to get out of here...and if he wanted to take Annie down.

"I don't care who looks at it, as long as it gets fixed. Quickly. "

"As you say-- erm, please excuse me," Armin mumbles, nodding politely as he edges closer to Levi. He usually gives his irate Captain such a wide berth that getting close enough to touch him is extremely awkward, "if I could just look at it for a second, to see if it's within my capabilities..."

Without waiting for reply, he quickly prods here and there, around his shoulder and collar, lifting his arm to see his range of motion and so forth.

"Ah, that's a clean break there on your clavicle. Your arm and your scapula are okay, thankfully. That just has to set, and your arm put in a sling to discourage movement. But it should heal well, I think."

Armin spending so much time around Hange has certainly paid off.

Eren stands back to give Armin more room to work. The awkwardness that came along with stepping into the Captain's personal space was obvious. He's silently glad that he wasn't the one who had to do it.

"A collarbone? That's not too bad after all..." he says, still avoiding Levi's eyes as he speaks.

Now that his titan powers have awakened, Eren doesn't have to worry much about broken bones, but he knows from his training days what a broken collarbone feels like. ...If luck was on their side, it could take about six weeks to fully heal. Knowing the Captain, he might even be up before that.

It is even more awkward because Levi is just giving Armin the biggest line face right now. He knows that a collar bones takes awhile to heal, and he can't deal with that right now. He had to get better, quickly.

"If you know anyone who can fix this, now would be a good time to tell me." Why did he have the worse luck? He glanced over to Eren for a moment and saw that he was avoiding eye contact with him, hell he wasn't even looking at him even when he was clearly speaking to him.

He didn't need him moping around now. He would have to speak with him later.

"Well, I know that there have been people here in the past with healing powers, but I can't say if I know of any here now," he answers, now taking some much needed steps back away from Levi, "there's a clinic here where doctors and such tend to people as well.I could ask my acquaintances to see if they have an recommendations, hush hush."

It doesn't surprise Eren that Armin has made himself a few useful connections during his stay. If this place is as cut off from reality as it seems, they will all need to rely on one another from time to time.

"Did you want to see about that right now, sir? If not, maybe..." Eren trails off, wiping a few droplets of muddy pond water from his forehead before they can reach his eyes. "...We could clean ourselves up a bit first?"

Like hell he was going to go out smelling like fish shit and nasty water. So, good call, Eren. He looked down at his ruined clothes and then the mud on his skin.

How disgusting.

"I smell like shit. I'm taking a bath before going anywhere."

Armin has to choke down a snort of laughter, and hide a small smile of amusement behind his hand, Levi would surely deck him one for finding his peculiarities funny.

"The facilities are more than sufficient," he manages after a moment to collect himself, "every suite has its own bathroom. I think you'll grow quite fond of showers."

Yeah, Eren figured as much. The smell and grime were pretty distracting, even for someone like him, who didn't usually mind a little dirt. "Then we'll be able to store the captain's gear in his room while we're at it."

He just hoped the bathrooms weren't too decadent. He'd never be able to get used to that sort of lifestyle.

Don't be dissing his habits. He can't do anything when he can smell shit on his clothes and feel grime on his skin. No, this won't do at all.

"What do we do, just pick a random room and hope no one already claimed it?"

Or did they have to talk to someone? Was this like an inn or something?

It's a bird, it's a plane!
