Rivamika Reveries : Chapter 4

Mikasa:

Habitual: He likes routine, Mikasa noticed as Captain Levi entered the dining room at 6:45am. She watched the Captain prepare his tea meticulously as he did every morning. He never let anyone else prepare it, lest he be disappointed with the results. He would meet with Commander Erwin for the morning report at 7am. He would then sit by the fireplace, with a book in hand until 7:30. It was the same routine every morning without fail.

Flawless: She watched them, almost in perfect synchronicity. The way Bertholdt and Reiner worked together was unparalleled. Like they have a telepathic link, Mikasa observed. She wondered how long they had known each other to work so efficiently and seamlessly together. She found herself wondered if she would be able to find someone to have that kind of bond with.

Illumination: Levi was standing above her. She felt as though all of the energy had been sapped from her body. Her solo mission had been a disaster, and Mikasa was sure that she was dying. She could hear words form in her mouth, but was not sure of what she had said. "You're not going to die Ackerman. I forbid it." The words must have come from Levi. Her eye lids were heavy, and began to droop. Suddenly there was a small glow of soft light in the forest. It gradually grew in size until it seemed like the whole forest was alight and on fire. The whole of the Survey Corp must be here, Mikasa thought to herself as she closed her eyes.

Famosity: The survey corps was passing through the main road in Trost District. "Look! It's Captain Levi! They say he can kill a titan just by looking at it!" Mikasa heard from the crowd who were watching the Corp filter through. "That midget can't be Captain Levi, I heard he was at least 6 feet tall."

Ravel: "Mind patching me up?" Levi asked her. "Of course, Captain." Mikasa swiftly replied. The cut wasn't too deep, but needed stitching up. Levi already had his shirt off. "I'd rather do it here before we get back to base. I don't like people fussing over me."
The long gash travelled across the top of his shoulder to the middle of his pectoral muscle on his chest. They sat on a large branch 10km away from the base. Mikasa opened her first aid kit that all members of the Survey Corp carried. She was having trouble getting the silk thread through the needle. "Have you ever done this before?" Levi questioned. "Yes" Mikasa lied. Mikasa got started, leaning in close the wound. She could feel his body heat radiating towards her. Once she was finished she applied a small bandage, wrapping the soft material over and over again.

Convalescent: She opened her eyes, and looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings. She was in a white gown, and in a bed with crisp white sheets. Looks like the infirmary. The first thing she noticed was the pain in her leg. She lifted up the sheet to find her leg in a thick bandage. The door to her right suddenly opened. It was Eren and Armin, their jaws dropped when they saw her sitting up in bed. They yelled and shouted, telling everyone to come and see Mikasa. When she finally got them to stop shouting she asked them how long she had been in the infirmary. A full week, was their reply. "Just tell me what happened. I remember seeing lights in the forest and that's it." Mikasa said.
"Captain Levi led a mission to rescue you. He summoned every member of the Survey Corp, to go out there and find you. He found you and carried you back himself." Eren replied.

Levi:

Blended: Tea making was a serious business in Levi's eyes. When he had time, he would attempt to collect his own ingredients for his tea. He had a good tea ingredient supplier in Shiganshina district before the titans broke the wall. Now he had to deal with a seller in Trost who would try to swindle anyone who didn't know any better. Maybe someday when this is all over, I should go into the tea business, Levi mused.


Jet Black: Her hair shone like silver in the summer sun. Its colour was pitch black, almost but not quite as dark as her eyes. It flowed in the cooling breeze and revealed it to be thick and supple. Levi found himself wondering what it would be like to touch. He imagined it a soft as water and smelling sweet, like the spring starflower that reminded him of her.

Reading: Mikasa was sitting in a tree that was part of the Survey Corps orchard. In the event that the Corps got stranded, contingencies had been put in place were there could be some sort of food supply. Levi had been taking an evening stroll when he saw her up there, and she seemed to been reading something. The book was old and weathered, the edges of the hardcover fraying. "You know books about the outside are banned by law." Levi called up to Mikasa.
"I'm just borrowing it." Mikasa retorted, "Besides, I didn't take you for a goody two shoes."
"No, but some people here are. You should be more careful."

Inferior: Levi never forgot the looks from his now "fellow" Survey Corps members. When they heard Farlan, Isabel and himself where from the underground he could sense their disgust. When they were shown their quarters, Levi ran his fingers across the bed frame. Dirt, dust and it seemed like the actual seams of the bed frame came away. "Disgusting" Levi commented.
"Well you guys should be well used to it. Just like home huh?" Someone quipped.

Unharness: Mikasa was lying unconscious in the infirmary at the Survey Corps base. "Get her harness off." The order came from Hange, and Levi followed without a word. He unclipped and untied the clasps and belts. When he got the clasp on Mikasa's leg, he stopped for a moment. Her trousers were a dark crimson. How could anyone survive losing so much blood? But this is Mikasa - she is strong. He turned to Hange, "Can you save her?".

Impaired: The pain in his arm was becoming unbearable. His bedroom was hot, and he left the window open, hoping a breeze would find it's way in. The light curtains did not move, confirming that there was little to no breeze tonight. Levi was in bed with a light pair of linen pyjama trousers on. He watched as his arm muscles began to spasm, the pain rocketing up his arm. Maybe I've been training a little too hard lately. Levi tried to flex his arm in an attempt to subdue the pain, but it wasn't helping.
