"two fingers are all I need to get the job done."

what he needs is to dine👏out👏. something to DO. it's grounding. taste and scent and touch and the knowledge that he's doing good (Levi makes this very clear). who could linger on the stresses of life with those magnificent thighs around their head? that's right, NO ONE.

this does have a very funny consequence.

Levi: it's like they say. never bite the hand that fingers you

Hange: PFFFFF

Moblit: no one has ever said that

Levi: it's a saying. people say this

Miche: it's "never bite the hand that FEEDS you"

Levi: ?????

Levi: that's stupid. no hand has ever fed me

Moblit: slaps a hand over Hange's mouth (good and correct course of action)

Erwin, slowly extending an apple because that makes him feel sad on a molecular level: ...would you like. this?

Levi: not from that hand, you freak

Erwin: I WASH my hands??????

Levi: I will NOT be fed and fingered by the same hand, I am not an ANIMAL

Hange: shrieking into Moblit's hand

Levi heaved a sigh and suppressed a small smile when Gabi stopped in front of her cousin, head tipped back to grin up at him; Reiner was a brick wall of a man, and Gabi had yet to grow taller than even Levi. She’d get there, without a doubt–all his brats loved shooting up like the weeds he plucked from the tomato beds whenever he looked away for a second.
