The tone and kiss were most certainly unexpected, causing him to be surprised and it would display on his face as such. That's not the reaction he was expecting at all, it even caused him to drop the feather duster. But hell if he didn't like it. Levi practically forgot about how she was trying to get away, and his grip would relax as he kissed her back. Though he would wrap his other arm around her as well, almost like he was hugging her. Rip feather duster.

The kiss left him a bit dazed, mostly due to surprise, but he snapped back to it after her sudden movements. Levi was expecting to have to chase her again, but it looked like he wouldn't have to. He still thought it wasn't a bad idea to help, it would get done faster and it would get done right. It turned out a lot of people didn't clean right and it annoyed him. Maybe he'd try to give pebble lessons one day, if she would sit still long enough. "Have I ever gone back on my word, Titan-bait?" he said in response, quickly catching up to her and holding a hand out, offering for her to hold it. i hope that's not a just middle/high school thing but idk

She didn't take his hand and he would let it fall back to his side, a bit disheartened. When she spoke he remembered when he let Doff get away, telling the others that she was dead. A lie true, but he had said she wouldn't die and she didn't. Though her saying not yet, he liked to think that she trusted him. Ouch. "I don't lie a lot, and the situation with Dofferz was complicated ok?" he said, trying to defend himself. Levi hoped this didn't end in a fight, that was one of the last things he wanted right now.

Those freaking clothes. When you took them off, you put them in the designated area for dirty laundry. Was it that hard a concept to understand? Had she even cleaned at all since last week? Oh god was that dust on her shelf? A small frown formed on his face as he remembered he didn't have his feather duster anymore. Oh well, there were more in the house somewhere. That better not be a sock poking out from under the bed. Was that a smudge on the wall? Oh god that handprint on the doorknob really shouldn't be there. Was that a smear on the windowsill? They had work to do. He let out a small sigh, making a mental checklist of the things that needed to be done. "Where to begin..." Levi said, mostly to himself. Ask him, and he wasn't the problem, it was the rest of humanity's oh so hellbent desire to be messy. If only he could train everyone to be perfectly clean, then there would be a lot less problems in the world.

She began to pick up her clothes, so he decided to start on the other tasks. "I'll go get the cleaning supplies." Levi said, Walking no out of the room and into his. Ah yes, his trusted duster. He was glad he didn't bring this one, or it'd of been lost chasing pebble. There were the cleaning rags, which he would find some water to make them damp(don't ask me how) so they'd pick up the dirty stuff he wanted gone. He also grabbed a broom and a mop for the floor, as well as an extension for the duster so the ceiling could be cleaned too. He hated going to bed and looking up a a dirty ceiling, or walls, or anything for that matter. The ex-captain also grabbed a bucket of water to rinse off the rags as needed. Then Levi went back to pebble's room, his famous "neutral" expression back. The short male would then set down his cleaning supplies, being sure not to spill any of his water. The rags went on the edge of the bucket and the duster with its extension(which was an over glorified stick with some string) downcast next to it. "I'll start on the windows, once you're done with the clothes start on the shelf. We'll get the floor last." he stated, resting the broom and mop against the wall. Always do the floor last, or you're just walking over what you just cleaned and have to re-clean it anyways. He didn't meant to word what he said in an order, it was just out of habit.
