The nature of Gokudera's business baffled him. He detested mess and clutter; he had the highest standards of cleaning that the Scouts had ever seen. So Home Base stressed Levi out, especially when he saw Gokudera collecting rubbish to be repurposed.

He didn't much care for being told what to do, though, and glared when he was asked to be mindful. "Do you want my help or not?" The words coming out colder than he meant them too, he just wasn't very good with talking to people.

Still, he stopped kicking the rubbish into the bin and instead picked it up, walking over to the taller male and holding it out to him. "This any good? Or should I toss it?" As he came into proximity with Gokudera again, Levi's mouth started to water, his chest heaved a few beats too fast as the urge to pin him against the wall and-- "Ugh you stink... Can't you smell that? It's so strong..." Leaning in and sniffing them before shaking his head, fighting it off and pulling back away.

No. No, he couldn't let himself be taken over by whatever it was they had drugged him with. Though the more he resisted, the harder it got. "I'm a Captain of the Scouting Legion. I lead my own special squad serving land outside the Walls and taking down the Titans that threaten to wipe us humans off the face of the earth." He says it all so casually. "What about you?"
