it is now!!

As ever, Levi is perfectly content with the companionable silence. Perhaps he hadn't even really expected much in the way of a response, content to just say it so Jean could be clear on his wish; it's so rare that he has the courage to say such a thing as it is.

Maybe something about this place is making him softer at the edges, more easily revealing the tenderness beneath.

So he sips at his tea, has another bite or two of the tart, and had actually just finished swallowing when Jean drops the (apparent) real reason for his visit.

Marriage?

Of course, Levi is more or less aware of the triumvirate that had formed with Eren and Mikasa, all having effectively declared themselves wed to one another. Mikasa is gone, and has been for a while now, and he can't help silently wondering if Eren's shift hasn't somehow prompted this - not that he doubts Jean's feelings in either direction. It's not really any of his damn business, truth be told.

But he's still plainly surprised, boggling a little at Jean as the thoughts process.

"Huh...that so."

In truth, it isn't difficult and doesn't take long for him to sort out his feelings. A smile of sorts flashes through his eyes before he turns a more serious, assessing look on Jean. Any other person might be more obviously playful in their ribbing:

"And you think he'll say yes?"

(Of course he will, and Levi knows it, knowing what he does about both of them.)
