************************************

It was the day after the expedition, the dead was counted and the injured was either treated in the hospital and let out or still laying in a hospital bed to heal better. 

Even Eren was allowed to walk around, his ankle should be much better within a couple days and he didn't need any crutches, he would just have to limp around a little as  he walked. Armin was helping to carry anything that needed to be kept straight for him, mostly the food trays since Eren spilled his food off his tray and cup of water all over someone when he tried walking with his trap and limping. 

Jean was even helping Eren out with a couple of things, mostly to tease eren over needing help and wanting to not be stuck being behind on anything that needed to be done. He did help undo Eren straps.

But for today, they were all given a free day. A day off where they could either stay on the camp or go the towns, of course they had to sign a slip and leave it to whatever captain or squad leader they fell over in case something happened and they had to check what soldiers didn't return yet. 

For Mikasa, she was planned to go to the nearest town for a nice cup of tea. She heard a couple of female soldiers talk about it and apparently the tea café did a decent amount of flavours and were rather nice to drink at. 

She couldn't help but think over Levi, she wanted to ask him before but never found the right timing and wasn't sure if he would be allowed to leave the camp when most soldiers had a day off since he was a captain after all. 

But after speaking with Hanji and learning that Levi had a free day as much as everyone else did, she was going to ask him to join her. 

She felt a little nervous, when she told Eren about her idea, he cheered her on for it and even helped pick out some of her normal uniform clothes. Mostly picking out a dress that belonged to his mother, she gave it to him to pass on to Mikasa as a congratulations of passing her training since both Eren and Armin got gifts as well and Carla remembered Mikasa from their first meeting. Plus, Eren told his mother in their weekly letters that he was friends with Mikasa again and pass on news over the three of them. 

It was a simple dress, a nice light purple with a bit of white added around the collar and pattering down over the centre of her chest. The sleeves ended just past her elbows and had white cuffs with sew on black buttons for decorations. The dress came to her ankles showing her white shocks and black slip on shoes. 

Carla had the dress before she was pregnant with Eren, only using it once and never using it again. But she felt bad for it never being used and planned to give it away to Eren future wife but with his heart set of killing titans, she thought Mikasa might be the closer daughter she'll ever gain and passed it on to her. 

She felt a little strange wearing the dress, it's been some time since she wore one. She did feel rather nice in the dress, Armin held a hand mirror in front of her, stepping back to try and get her whole body in the mirror making them look rather stupid in the guys barracks but the other soldiers who were still inside paid them no attention. Some even complimenting her and wishing her luck over her date. 

Mikasa wasn't sure why the soldiers thought she was going on a date, she never said she was. 

She just wanted to go somewhere nice with Levi, just her and him as they enjoyed a lovely day out drinking tea. Sure, she was dressed as a girl for once but only because Eren said for a simple day out the dress would be perfect and she did feel bad not wearing it when Carla personally gave it to her.
