Eren looks no more dopey than a real wolf or dog, and since that's an expected thing, it doesn't strike Levi as odd at all. If anything, it's a good thing, to see him enjoying himself, even as a mutt. Maybe that's the benefit of being able to change into an animal, to let go of too much thought and just rely on instinct.
Levi tracks Eren to where he's found the last box, exactly where he'd buried it, and maybe even cracks the faintest of pleased smiles. It's more in his eyes than anything, but he gives Eren another encouraging ruffle, shows him the stopwatch, paused with three seconds remaining.
"well done, Eren."
He retrieves the box, and inside is indeed Erwin's sock.
"Sorry, didn't bring you any mutt treats," he says as they make their way back to the clearing. "You'll have to be satisfied with some cookies Erwin made, later."
[Eren hasn't necessarily acknowledged why there are nights he'll spend hours wandering around in this form. Levi's instincts are correct, though. It's easier, this way, to find some semblance of peace.
[When Eren sees the stopwatch, paused with only three seconds remaining, he rears up on his hind legs and howls in victory. Flump. Back on the ground, and then they're on their way to the clearing.
[He doesn't look disappointed at the lack of treats, at least, merely nodding his big furry head.]
They'll keep going with that for a little while until he wears Eren out again, and that'll probably be it for the day. Another time they can test out Eren's bite strength and maybe play tug-of-war with some rope. Wolfren against Humanity's Strongest, who will win???

Levi picks up the ball and CHUCKS it again.
