13thcommander: (plotty plot plot)

When the larger wave hits them, Erwin puts his hand out to steady Levi. He doesn't even think about it; it just happens. The skin of Levi's back is warm under his palm.

"I'm going to ask about boats." Not that Erwin is eager to get on a boat and try to chart their way back home. No, this is more for personal curiosity than anything else. Besides, there aren't any oceans behind the walls, so it would be pointless. He just can't help but wonder what's beyond this ocean, what might lie on the other shore.

The waves are getting taller, splashing up around Erwin's knees, and the fish have all scattered away. Erwin glances at Levi, then jerks his head back to the shore.

"Come on, let's go back." Erwin does know how to swim, but goddess only knows how well he'd do with only one arm. He might end up paddling around in circles. This also doesn't seem like the best time to try and teach Levi.
