[Yeah well, Levi, it's thanks to your company and the fact that there's no titans here that she's taking it so well. For now. She's -- actually trying to not freak out. She just stays here, with him, and it's going to be okay that way. It sounds selfish but she can't help it. She won't even ask about Oluo. She knows him too well, despite his titan kill count, he'd probably try something in rage for everyone else's deaths and then he'd be ...gone too. And that's another thing to be ashamed of: their titan kill counts were the opposites for solos and teamwork. So maybe if she hadn't panicked so much, they might have survived... What was even the point of these what ifs?

She's trying not to freak out while he looks surprised of how well she takes it. She's not taking it well, she's just trying to not to think about -- it. That shit is going to fucking hurt like hell and there's nothing she can do about it. Sorry, Purrloin, her hands are shaking really fucking lot, but she really appreciates the distraction anyways.

Or she could look at Levi, which she in fact does, just in time to see that smile on his face. That takes her by a surprise, but it also makes her smile too. It's a sad smile though, and she's not even going to ask why Levi has that on his face. It's just really great to see his smile. ...For one last time, a thought that makes her smile almost fade away. She'd never see him or her family again. Well, unless she could stay here but randomly appearing in the middle of nowhere to this place? Is that how this works? It seems weird, but not entirely impossible.

Levi's answer about Eren returns that sad smile with a tiny laugh too.]

Maybe you'll find a way to stop all that kidnapping from happening to him, eventually, corporal... [Or then not. But it sounds like he's from somewhere far ahead and that Eren is trying to be as busy with getting kidnapped as ever.] You'll make it stop at some point, especially if you can make Eren stop getting kidnapped...

[See, you still have her full trust in everything.]

[ummm, yes it is something to apologize for but that sure makes her amused-ish face fade away. She won't say anything to it though, but she clearly looks like she disagrees with that. It's not like she wanted to die that soon after writing those words to her father... Welp, she was supposed to be there for a long time.

So they managed to at least play a lot of time there, is what she's thinking of his words. Good, that's good. Eren surviving from it was the most important thing anyway and he did, so-- so---

It's amazing to hear those words him, but you know, at the same time it's pretty horrible considering he wouldn't have to say them if -- if things hadn't gone as they did.

oooops, she was trying so hard to not lose it here despite being pretty horrible at withholding tears when shit gets this serious. Now she just ... starts crying, yup, this sure is a breakdown. Sorry, kitten, Petra stops petting you and instead she's just going to bury wow, self words choices her face into her hands.]
