"Leave..." She started, thinking aloud, then turned her attention back to the fire.
We could leave. Back, close to Eren again. The ape -- a team, pulled together, a strategy, Hange would have one. Erwin would have one. No, what if they didn't see it. The importance. It rated low on her scale to kill titans for the sake of killing titans. That didn't matter. The risk wasn't worth it. But... where would the search start. We came here because of the attacks. Not one, but many.
Her gaze became suddenly sharp; she glared at Levi, nearly accusatory, and spoke harshly. "No, Levi, we can't leave. We haven't searched the castle. What if it comes here for a reason?"
What if there's something here, something it wants or something it's attached to. If Levi doesn't notice... if he doesn't care --
"We have to stay." Abruptly she set aside her dinner and stood up to collect her harness from the floor. "...I'll go search now."
The change was remarkable. Her tiredness washed away; she stood straight, battle-ready in an instant, and gambling only against how long Levi could be made to stay on site. Though what the difference was between going alone at night while he slept, or going alone in the morning after he had left, she couldn't say; only that there was one.
