The Humanity's Strongest & The Graceful

One Hour Later

After learning that Eren's tooth had grown back, Tessa and Levi saw the wheels in Hange's head beginning to turn, and both knew that she was already on the verge of exploding with her Titan-crazy obsession. Levi kicks his boot onto Tessa's ass to stop Hange before she scares Eren even more, only for him to get a glare with those stunning sky-blue eyes. Out of the corner of Levi's eye, he watched Eren gulp, possibly wondering if Tessa's glare scared him or if the moving of his foot had reminded him of what happened in the courtroom. Yet his and Tessa's attention returned to Hange, who was doing the creepy giggling, which made Levi nudge Tessa's ass again. Tessa growls, "Cut it out, Levi." She warns through gritted teeth, only for Levi to click his tongue, "Tch. When you do something about Four-Eyes' creepy giggle, I will, Tess." He replies in a low whisper. Tessa rolls her eyes as Hange giggles louder, "I have so many ideas we can do to learn more of Eren's Titan abilities." She chuckles, and Tessa groans, "Zoe, don't even think about saying anything right now." She warns, only for Hange to snort, "Oh, but why not, Cat?" She whines, and Levi clicks his tongue again, "Tch. Because you've scared the brat enough, Four-Eyes." He answers, and Tessa glares at him, but before she can say anything, she hears Hange scoff, "You were the one that did first, Shorty, so don't feed me that bullshit." She remarks, then crosses her arms.

While Hange and Levi glare at each other, Tessa shakes her head as she pinches the bridge of her nose, "Can you two get along for five fucking minutes?" She asks, yet the glaring duo doesn't answer her, which only fuels her annoyance, "Are you two even listening to me?" She asks while placing her hands on her hips. Miche snickers as he continues looking out the window, "I think you already know the answer to your question, Tessa." He says, only for Tessa to growl at him, "Not the point, Miche." She answers through gritted teeth. Eren bounces his eyes between the three leaders in front of him, hesitant to even make a move, let alone a sound. Suddenly someone clears their throat, which makes Eren jump as the trio turns around to see Erwin sitting behind the desk, "That's enough with the death glares. It's time for us to discuss the next step." He announces, and Tessa sighs while grabbing her jacket and throwing it back on, "I doubt that's the end of the glares, let alone snide comments, Erwin." She admits while fixing her hair. Levi rolls his eyes as he stands beside Tessa, "You have so much faith in us, Tess." He remarks, and Tessa clicks her tongue as she glares at Levi, "Tch. Yet you've proven my point, Levi," She answers, then looks at Erwin, "Now, what's next?" She asks while crossing her arms.

Erwin folds his hands on the desk and taps his thumbs together, "Before I start, Tessa, have you seen all your patients in the city?" He asks, and Tessa shakes her head, "They're still racking up the casualties from the Titan invasion, so, no, I haven't. I won't know anything more until everything gets settled." She answers, and Erwin nods, "Understood, which now brings me to my next point," He answers before standing up, "With Eren in our custody, I know people will be planning on acting against Premier Zachary's decision." He confesses, and Levi raises a brow, "Which would be stupid on their part." He says in a deadpan tone, and Erwin hides his smirk as he nods while looking out the window, "Which is why I advise that the Special Operations and their Captains take Eren out of the city as soon as possible." He announces, and Tessa scratches her head, "Erwin, not that I'm going against you, but where the hell are we supposed to go because we don't have a base anymore." She reminds him, and Erwin chuckles as he turns around to face Humanity's Grace, "You just answered your own question, Tessa, because that's exactly where all of you need to go," He explains, "While your team is out of there, you can run drills with Eren so he knows the fundamental of how your team works. As for the rest of us, we will be here for the recruitment process." Erwin announces, and the two Captains nod, "You got it, but one more thing," Tessa says while holding a finger up, and everyone raises a brow, "I may need some help with the learning of Eren's Titan's health, and I have to admit that I'm out of my element with it." She confesses while eyeing Hange, and Erwin nods as he understands what Tessa means. She needs Hange's help since this is Hange's area of expertise. Levi softly groans because he knows Tessa is right too, "Tess." He says, and Tessa looks at him and nods without saying anything. All the leaders share the same look, and Eren remains on the couch, still hesitant to make a move but amazed by how their intelligent minds work together in silence.
