"So, his friends died. What is the big deal, that happens all the time here."

Elise Dietrich wasn't one to care for the problems of her subordinates. Much less for the new member of the Survey Corps, who after his two friends die, he seemed to be having a teenage episode.

"Don't be like that! He must feel so bad."

"Crying and moping about it won't bring them back, that's all I am saying."

It was late at night at the Survey Corps' old cafeteria where members who didn't belong to a squad would eat every evening.

The new recruits were fine with each other, most were friendly but a certain Levi. He will stay apart from everyone, eating by himself and never talks.

Elise found this especially annoying. Before, he would be extremely cocky, as if he knew he was the best. His face showed no worries and his posture, the way he dresses, everything about him annoyed her.

But now, there he was, being extra grumpy and even sad because his friends died ... What a pain.

"Hey, you!" Elise screamed from across the table, trying to get Levi's attention as he was eating his soup. "Is it true that you killed 30 titans in a minute?"

He was completely quiet, he pretended not to hear her. There were many things already going on his head and he didn't want to deal with petty brats.

"Well, if you did that we should start calling you humanity's strongest soldier, shouldn't we?" Elise teased again, getting satisfaction from having everyone's attention on her. "But it seems like humanity's strongest soldier wasn't even capable to save his friends."

At that, the blond woman saw Levi stand up from his seat with the bowl of soup on his hand. She could barely see his facial expression since his black hair covered his face. Levi took small steps as he approached the blond girl, she wasn't scared at all. If he wanted to fight her, then she could defeat him and prove to everyone she was the best.

But in all contrary, Levi looked at her with cold eyes.

And poured the soup on top of her head, the liquid falling from her head to her hair and then her clothes. Everyone watched in amusement with their mouths open and only waited for a reaction from the blond one.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing?!" Elise stood from her seat as she looks down at Levi. Compared to her, Levi was small and she even wanted to let out a laugh. Did he really think he could take her on a fight?

"Keep messing with me and I'll break your bones. I don't care if you are a woman, I'll give you the treatment I give everyone," Levi wasn't backing away, he had taken on bigger enemies.

Elise let out a small smile, she preferred this side of Levi. He may be a crybaby but at least he wasn't letting anyone step on him.

"I wouldn't want anything less from you."

She has been looking for him for hours. Already meeting and greeting men that are not the one she was looking for. This ballroom event was getting boring, she had come for two main reasons. The first one being, out of responsibility with her duty. The second one, because she had bought herself a red dress with the hope that it will awaken something inside of Levi ... again.
