[ there's a part of erwin that's just incredulous that it can even hurt this much, that the pain can render him completely non-functional. it's certainly a new experience, and not one he cares to relive or even live this first time. he can hear levi talking, registers it even, but it takes him a long time for him to even convince his mouth to open before he can answer. ]
I don't know.
[ it's rasped out, like even his throat hurts from whatever's happening to him. he hasn't lifted his head: he's sure he looks horrible with his expression twisted like it is, and he doesn't want to panic levi even more.
what a man, being that considerate of levi even now.
he finally manages to unclench his jaw enough to talk a little more clearly, but it still sounds like it aches. ]
It feels like my bones are grinding together.
[ that's not, well, it's not promising in any capacity really, because it flies out of him unprompted. it's not what he was planning to say, but he doesn't even remember what that was at this point. ]
I'm sure it'll pass.
[ yeah, that's not much better, but he's trying. ]
