girl, you're such a backstabber

[ even on land, the port city of desini smells like salt and wet. levi has set his crew out to buy supplies, find information on new bounties, and make sure that they'll be ready to set out within the next few days. for the moment, levi is in the market, bargaining with one of the merchants for a box of quinine bark they'll need on their journey further south.

though 'bargaining' may be a bit of an exaggeration. he's very close to drawing a blade on the man. ten pieces of silver is fucking highway robbery. (ironic, maybe, that he'd say that. but it's true.) ]

[ a recent tip had brought erwin here, and the rumors are that the infamous levi and his crew are making preparations and stocking up. erwin had set out as soon as his own crew were able in hopes of being hot on his trail. it was only last trade season that he had seen the pirate in action, but since then, erwin has thought of nothing other than personally bringing him to justice.

he leaves behind his fancy overcoat and hat to insure his success with tracking down the rebel. it would have only drawn unwanted attention to his social stature. the simple clothing he's wearing will allow him to blend into the market.

it doesn't take him long to find his target - he's an easy man to find, with his short build yet strong air of arrogance. erwin thinks he looks to be arguing, and erwin turns his back and tunes his ears. he knows it won't end well for the merchant if the pirate doesn't get what he wants. ]
