It does feel important to take the time to say things that one didn't have the chance to, before. Jean has been feeling it more and more urgently since Eren's return - not because of anything Eren's done, though.
No, it was just a stark reminder that anyone could leave, with words unspoken. It had already happened to Jean twice, at this point, and there were things he wishes he could have told Eren before he left and came back.
Jean can only make the difference going forward.
Thankfully, Jean moves his gaze down to the tea in his hands as Levi speaks, the look too strong to hold himself, as well. I wanted you brats to have the chance to relax, too.
He lets the words linger. Levi has never had too much difficulty with silence, in Jean's estimation, so he lets it sit for a long moment before he gathers himself again, looking at Levi.
"I know. Which is why I wanted to tell you something else. I'm going to ask Dolph to marry me."
