.01 [Video]

[Is it any wonder that Commander ~~Handsome~~ is one of the first to perfect the use of the new video equipment? After all, dramatic speeches are so much more effective when he can showcase his cheekbones to their full potential.

Except now he's keeping it short and sweet, preoccupied with other matters, clearly:]

It seems recent events have sparked an...admirable rush of civic pride. I encourage anyone who is interested to see about applying for the Scouting Corps. We can always use Rangers with your sort of passion and drive.

As for everyone else -- continue to serve Union and humanity whole-heartedly.

[A brief salute to end this...clearly-rehearsed speech, and the video flickers off.]

-- ah, yes, Levi already mentioned you.

[Dismissive/matter-of-fact Erwin is dismissive and matter-of-fact.]

Oh... [Eren blinks] He did? [NOT SURE IF THAT"S GOOD OR BAD]

Mmm.

Do you consider yourself well-equipped to handle the unique pressures of being a member of the Surveying Corps?

Y-yessir! I do, sir! I've been training hard out in the field... and I participated in locating the iron mines and helped find the source of the quakes.

Mmm. [Erwin's genuinely impressed, really. This is his impressed face.]

That was a well-executed mission. I understand another of your comrades from that expedition is interested in enlisting?

[it's not very effective...]

Who, Jean? ... He's not really interested in the Rangers. Not like me, anyway. He has no sense of adventure.

A sense of adventure is important, but only when tempered with wisdom and caution. Many types of people are needed for the Corps to function effectively.

Encourage your friend to attend training camp. It's worth a try, right?

I'll try my best! He really doesn't listen to me, though... [a pause, then Eren grins a little, deviously] But if I make it into a challenge... he won't be able to resist!
