Levi said his thanks to Carla for looking after Mikasa and forming this playdate for today, he felt strange thanking the women since he felt like he was acting like a mother himself. Carla just chuckled, patting his shoulder with a mother like smile and told him that both Mikasa and he was welcomed back anytime. 

Levi even gained a friend to call when Mikasa needed to do any form of clothing shopping again or needed any women to women chats. Levi had never been more thankful for that single offer then he has in all his on life. He never wanted to deal with an incident like the bra one ever again. Send him to kill fifty titans at once and he'd happily go take them down but another "women problem" he'd rather slit his own throat. 

Sure, Hanji did help out during the first problem but Mikasa was rather unhappy over being left trapped with the crazy titan lover. Levi wasn't cruel enough to do it a second time. 

Carla was actually volunteering to do such awkward chats and Mikasa seemed to like the women making it perfect. The next visit might be a little tensed but at least Mikasa will be complete prepared to the young women hood and it won't be his problem. 

Glancing down to the young girl beside him who seemed a little nervous and oddly shy. He wondered if she might have gained more than just friendship with one of the boys. Maybe a crush? She was the right age to starting gaining them. 

Did he have to support her in this?

Was this a thing he talked to her about?

Did it count as a girly chat thing or under a guys chat?

Did he have to help her understand?

How would one go about with this type of talk?

Was it too late to turn back and speak with Carla?

His thoughts were stopped as Mikasa pulled on his arm, nodding towards the horse and cart that would lead them back to the base. Levi just gave a small nod, helping her to climb into the cart before hopping in after her. 

They had another couple minutes before it would leave since carts left the base three times a day and left Shiganshina three times to return them all to the camp. In camp, the three carts left at 8:30am, 11am and 4pm. The cart would leave the Shiganshina at 10am, 2pm and 6pm.

They were taking the 6pm back, the last cart making them have to return on it or it might be a rather long walk back to the base. 

A couple soldiers who had today's leave or half a day leave was already sitting on the sides of the cart leaving the path between them clear apart from some luggage. Levi sitting on the edge, the cart door would be closed beside his leg and Mikasa sat on the other side of him. He left his paper bag between his leg and glanced to the sky. 

How the hell did you deal with a girl gaining a crush?

Sure, Isabel had her girly moments in life and checked out certain guys or gals but Furlan dealed with all of that stuff. Levi never really felt romantic attachment to others before, sure, he's admitted some people had good lookers but he never really felt anything for them. Furlan was the one who's had crushes, talked over true love and always helped with Isabel whenever she did gain a crush. 

Furlan made it seem so simple and ease but Levi knew it wasn't. 

A young girl heart was easily shattered and the wrong move could shatter her heart forever making her future love ruined forever. 

He was brought out of his thoughts once again as he felt someone tap on his thigh and turned to see a crane done with black paper. On the wing was drawn the wings of freedom symbol, all drawn in pencil and not the best art work but you could understand what she was going for. 

He carefully picked it up, letting his eyes show how impressed he was by it before starting to give it back only for her to shake her head. She gave another shy look before placing her hands on his arm and pushing his offered hand back towards himself. 

"For me, you made this for me?" Levi asked, a little surprised as he glanced down to the self made crane, seeing her nod in the corner of his eyes.

He looked it over once more, letting a tiny smile make it's way on his lips before he lifted his free hand and ruffled her hair a little but making sure her neck stayed covered completely by it.

"Thanks, I'll place it on my shelf a little later. It should be safe up there, away from Hanji hands safe" Levi muttered out, placing the origami crane into his shopping bag before noticing the extra shopping he had got.

He didn't take much care of the last couple soldiers climbing into the cart and sitting down. Some speaking with one another while others stayed in their content silence. Mikasa deciding to people watch a little, huddling a little closer to Levi when one of the soldiers sat beside her to speak with someone on the same side they sat. 

Levi took a deep breath before pulling out the piece of fabric, the rest of the soldiers were too distracted to give him or Mikasa much care. He felt the soft cotton, it would be warm but not overly hot during summer thankfully. 

Turning his body towards her before lifting his arms and wrapping the scarf around her neck a couple times before tying it loosely for her, he'd get an earful from Mike and Moblit if he did strangle her. 

"Now you can go out even on windy days, it keep the back memories around" Levi whispered as he noticed her turn to him surprise before she lifted a hand to the blood red scarf, feeling how soft it was before shaking her nose to the edge. 

He almost mist the smile she gave, it was buried into her scarf but it reached her eyes and he no longer thought of the extra shopping as wasted money. Not when she snuggled closer, resting her head to his upper arm and lowered guard around him.
