Erwin Smith was actually beginning to worry at this point.

He and Levi had worked, fought, and lived together for years and Rivaille was a creature of strict habit. He had an unconscious routine he always kept to even if he didn't know it himself, but being the observant man Erwin was, he had learned Levi's schedule early on. Regardless if they were within the walls or out fighting titans, Levi always did the same things in the same order. Every. Single. Day. And even on the days when perhaps he couldn't accomplish one or two things in his routine due to scarce resources or location or lack of things to clean he could always be found in the same general places of activity. And that was the precise reason why Commander Erwin was beginning to worry about Heichou.

He hadn't seen Levi in three hours.

Sure, whilst on his way to deliver a stack of important papers to Levi, Erwin had made a few stops, but he still should've run into the snarly little man at least four times. And Levi never deviated from that strict routine of his. At this point Erwin had checked three levels of the castle and was starting to get desperate. Honestly he was opening every door he came to even if it was a broom closet (although it really wouldn't surprise him if he found the Captain in there). He swung open the door to one of the bathrooms, and lo and behold there was Levi, steeping in a tub of steaming water like a tea leaf. His feet and arms hung over the edges of the rickety, wooden tub in a very un-Levi-like manner, vapor floating off his skin. Humanity's Strongest Soldier lazily rolled his head from one shoulder to the other to face the intruder at the door. "What?" He drawled.

Erwin didn't think he'd ever seen Levi move so slow… or look so much like a lazy tom cat.

"Um, I was looking for you so I could give you these," Smith said, extending the papers in his hand, still in a fog of steam and confusion.

"Fine," Levi answered stretching his limbs languidly.

"I'll just put them on your desk…" Erwin said, one hundred shades of done with his subordinates out of character behavior.
