[And what does our illustrious Commander have to say about Team Evolution and everything relating to them?

Very little, apparently, though his expression, brows drawn down and together, speaks volumes.] I don't think I need to remind any and all Rangers -- and aspiring cadets -- to be civil, polite and welcoming to our honored guests, do I?

[Pause.] Provided, of course, that they are also discreet. [A short nod and he turns off the video.]




[Only to switch it on a moment later, looking suddenly frazzled like he's only just remembered something.] I-In addition, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind all applicants that they should absolutely not take any interest in or notice of idle gossip regarding their potential superiors, and that failure to follow this advice may result in their applications being denied.

[Lbr here, he's talking about the commonly circulated rumors about himself and Corporal Levi and their status as "roommates" and "confirmed bachelors".]

Something along those lines. We parted amicably, though.

I'm surprised you would let such a valuable resource go. It's most unlike you.

[thatwasnotmyintent]

Perhaps I'm having an off day. It does happen, you know.

[antiseptic]

I see.

...How interesting. [seemingly speaking more to himself:] So it appears that a domestic lifestyle does cause one to grow soft...

[thatwasnotmyintent]

I'm hardly retiring to buy curtains and take up cards, Curtiss.

[antiseptic]

Aren't you? I hear the Council is handing out benefits for adopting orphaned children.

[thatwasnotmyintent]

Are they now? Next they'll be handing out awards for breathing. It'll actually give the Guard and Swords a chance to win something.

[ Erwin's disdain towards the other groups continues to be an endless source of entertainment for Jade, enough that he'll leave the subject of Levi for now. It isn't really any of his business anyway.]

Now now, that's no way to speak of our comrades.

[thatwasnotmyintent]

Why not? They aren't listening.

[But he'll sigh, wearily and attempt to be nice.] But you're right, of course. After all, we need people to stand on the walls and watch for attacking Metapod.

[antiseptic]

[His eyes widen in mock-surprise.]

I hope you're not trivializing their efforts, Commander.

[thatwasnotmyintent]

Me? Oh, never. After all, every teensy-tiny bit helps, right?
