Summary: Exploring the mansion/grounds, Survey Corps officer bonding time
The Story:

Mansion- Interior.

The surface of the mirrors were cool to the touch but unyielding against his fingertips. Perhaps today they simply looked like any ordinary mirrors because he was looking for something, anything that would give some kind of clue. He wanted to get to the other side to explore once more, find some answer as his time over there had been short as it was.

But the mirrors were closed once more and there was not even the glimpse of his other half bearing the red bolo tie and unicorn upon his jacket. It hadn't been out of the realm of possibility that he would have joined the Military Police, it had been a consideration and an option for him if it hadn't been for his goal of joining the Corps.

The surface of the mirror was still cold under his fingertips as he moved away with a frown. All the mirror reflected was the late afternoon sun, his own wavering reflection as he walked down the corridor, footsteps echoing. There were more questions than answers here, that was at the core of his frustration, but he was certain it was only a matter of time before they would start to uncover something of use.

Mansion- Exterior/Grounds

After bed rest, the sun felt good on his face. The scenery was strange- checkered hills and laid out gardens that would have looked opulent even for Wall Sina.

A few moments in the sun, moving around at least more than just going from his room to the library, it feels good. Long term recovery and building up his strength would take some time so walking was the first step in getting back to himself.

He squinted against the sun as he looked over the checkered hills- getting out was still a priority even if he knew what they would be going home to. Especially because he knew what they had to go home to. Even if his plans wouldn't work out as he had expected, he had a duty to humanity. For the moment though, he would focus on getting his strength back day by day.

The Beach. Closed to Hange & Levi.

It had been Levi's idea that they needed to get out of the mansion and do something to 'relax'. There were no budgets to balance, paperwork to submit to Central, nothing that was constantly demanding their attention here other than recon work that just ended up with nothing. What Levi meant by 'relaxing', Erwin wasn't certain but Hange hadn't given him room to refuse.

He had a couple blankets over his one arm, clutching a bottle of what promised to be top shelf whiskey generously provided by the mansion as he followed Hange towards the beach. He had heard the surf outside the window in the distance but to see the water stretching out without limit, to touch the horizon, was a different experience entirely.

For a moment, he stood there, only able to stare as the sun began to dip over the horizon. For over a century humanity had been imprisoned and denied any chance to even see what he saw spread out in front of him at the moment before he was distracted by the other two.

[Not far down the hall, a door opened and a gorgeous platinum blonde walked out of a room. Erwin would notice that it was Levi's bedroom door she had just exited from and she didn't seem to have a problem with it. She had a book in her hand, apparently Levi didn't have a lot of practice reading or writing so she had offered to help him with what she could. Did it look weird? Maybe, but there she was walking down the hall when she caught sight of Erwin and noted the mans state. Her blue eyes didn't dart at his missing arm. She was far too properly raised for something like that.]

Good day. [She offered as she walked to him. Levi had briefly pointed this man out to her as being his commander. Or at least ex-commander. Wasn't her business.] Commander Smith if my memory serves me correct?

[Considering Hange had already told him about Levi's connection to this woman, Erwin couldn't say he was greatly surprised by someone walking out of Levi's room. He certainly wasn't going to judge, even if he and Hange had given Levi a bit of a hard time. ]

Yes, that is me. [Erwin said with a polite nod of his head. He had to admit he was rather curious about her, considering Levi hadn't exactly been forthcoming and Hange only knew so many details.] You must be Integra, if I'm not mistaken. It's a pleasure to meet you at last.

[She wasn't even mad that Levi would use her first name with people he trusted. She didn't bother to give the man a title. A friend of Levi's was an ally for her. She nodded her head respectively.]

Pleasure is all mine. I hope you find yourself well and if there is anything I can do to help you in this world, please let me know. We have an agreement, after all.

An agreement? [There had to be a reason Levi trusted her, and Erwin would always trust his right hand. He just finds it fascinating that Levi has been able to trust someone else, given his history but he is very glad that he's capable of it still. They hadn't lost all their humanity.]

Thank you, the offer is appreciated and I will make sure to keep it in mind should anything come up.

Yes. [She wasn't going to tell him how the agreement began but she would definitely explain to him what they have been doing.] Your captain and I arrived about the same time. We have been working together in order to find a way to counter the strange events that happen in wonderland while trying to discover a way out. I understand your world lacks heavily in technological advances and therefore I have been aiding your scouts as best I can, including understanding the unexplained.

Then I owe you a debt of gratitude for assisting them. [Erwin said with honesty. He knew that they were at a disadvantage here not having the same level of technology- the electricity in the rooms was amazing enough though seemed commonplace for almost everyone else. If they had someone who was familiar with the technology who could be trusted, then it would make it all the easier.]

All I ask is for your assistance and loyalty. Unlike you, my army hasn't quite made it to Wonderland. You're very lucky to have your men, Commander.

[You should probably treat them better than you normally do. Let her put in her two cents.] What are you doing in regards to their morale? This is probably the best time for it.

[ Hange was chipper this evening. She had a basket under one arm and a pair of books in a bag on her back where she had also stowed away some towels just in case they got drunk enough to get in the water. The color was back on her face even if her movements were still a little slow. That smile that was normally on her face was back and that was enough to prove the old Hange was back.]

This is going to be a great evening. Look at that sunset! [She inhaled.] Even the air smells wonderful! It sure beats the city.

[It was odd for Levi to be the orchestrator of social events, but this was mostly for his friends. Hange and Erwin both had a difficult time, one since coming here and the other since shit started to go down in their own world. This was a long time coming, and even if he hated it here he was determined to make the best of it and keep them from going insane together.]

It's the middle of no where, what do you except?

[In his arms was an umbrella, a few towels and another basket of goodies.]

Where do I dump this shit?

[They had the beach to themselves it looked like.]

Anywhere is fine, it seems. [Erwin said as he followed Hange and Levi, tearing his gaze away from the horizon.]

It's better than the Walls. [He agreed as a spot was selected, putting things down carefully on the sand before helping by spreading a blanket on the ground with one hand.]

[She helped Erwin with the blanket before standing up and removing her goggles placing them over her head. She stared at awe at the fast blue that was slowly disappearing as the sun began to set. The orange and pinks across the skin mirrored in the dark blue waters- it was beautiful.]

Have you ever seen something so perfect... [Excuse her boys, she's just going to close her eyes and enjoy the sounds of those waves!]

[Even if he had been here for the last four months, this is was something that he never got use too. It was still a sight he enjoyed seeing, he only wished that when they returned to their world that they would remember it.]

It would be better if this were are own world.

[But hey....he'll take what he can get. He paused to place the things he had in his arms on the sand.]

We'll get there some day. Until then, we will appreciate that we have an opportunity that humanity cannot even envision at the moment.

[Erwin agreed as he watched the sun slipping below the horizon bit by bit until only a bit of the disk remained. Even if they don't remember it when they return home, it doesn't matter. They are here now.]

I'm sure if we show those fools inside wall Sina what they're missing, we wouldn't have half the problems we do.

[She continued to breath in that salty air before moving over to the blanket and starting to kick off her boots.]

Should we eat first before wetting our feet?

Are you just getting your feet wet or are you actually going in?

[Because if she starts swimming after they eat it's gonna have to be him that comes to save her ass if she drowns.]

Because I'm not saving you if you cramp up and sink like a rock.

[Erwin looked amused as he sat down on the blanket carefully. He had never done anything like this, there was never just a moment when he wasn't the commander or when something wasn't demanding his attention.]

I'm sure Hange will be careful, Levi.

That's right, Levi. Did you hear him? He's sure Hange will be careful. You're the one that's four feet. You shouldn't get in, you'll be covered by the waves for sure.

[Damn straight, she went there.]

[....What?]

You know damn well how tall I am.

[IT'S 5'3.]

Can you even swim?

[Erwin would let Hange and Levi talk, it was familiar as if they were back home instead of on a beach, as he took out a glass before forgetting that he couldn't open the bottle on his own so it was set down carefully.]

Perhaps we should eat first. [Erwin suggested before someone decided to toss the other into the water.]

I can swim better than you. [She kicked off her boots and flopped down beside Erwin pulling up the basket she had carried.]

I made us some lunches. They're called 'bento boxes'.

[She knew the boys were hefty when it came to food so she brought out four in total popping them open. There were sandwiches and fruits alongside some extra stuff in case they needed some more. Illumi had been helping her learn and her skills were getting better. One of the boxes had apple slices cut into the shape of people. She had drawn on silly faces and made them look like they were Titans. She grabbed one and showed it off.]

Look at these, I think I'm getting better.

[He stares at them for a moment. It takes him a few second to realize that yes, those are apple titans eating apple people. That's kind of hilarious and fucked up at the same time.]

You made these?

[They actually look edible so...good job Hange.]

Not bad.

[Erwin can tell that Hange had gone through a great deal of time to make these lunches most likely. He raised his eyebrows at the apple titans eating apple people. For a moment he's not sure what to think but then he smiles a little, picking up one of the apple titans.]

These look very good, Hange, thank you for making these for us.

[So maybe Hanges sense of humor was shot to all hell but if you couldn't manage your fears by then, you were still human in her book. She picked up one of the Titans.]

Vengance never tasted so sweet. [She bit the things head off.]

Edited 2014-10-22 10:22 (UTC)

It's an apple, of course it's sweet.

[But he gets what she is saying. Even if it is a bit odd. But he will try one as well...just to make sure they really are alright before Erwin eats one.]
