[ erwin actually feels himself smiling a bit at that. he can't imagine armin would have put up too much of a fight as far as levi's determination was concerned. erwin doesn't blame armin at all, more amused that levi would go that far to find him. professionalism wasn't so much the issue here as erwin didn't want to make it easy for levi.
he didn't want to be found.
when he sees the bit, though, erwin can't stop himself from smiling fondly - he remembers it, and the familiarity (as small and misplaced as it may be) puts him in a marginally better mood. he sits back, then, a kind of silent permission, as he rolls up the sleeves of his arm.
levi's comment draws his attention back up, though, and erwin nods once - the smile falling - as his eyes turn towards the bit. he has to keep them away from levi, he realizes, the sound of his voice and his presence in the room enough to heighten erwin's memories. ]
Go ahead. [ whether or not he's talking to the bit or levi, we may never know. ]
