The commander rose from his seat then. The motion was elegant and effortless, as if he not so much interacted with the world, but the world itself acted in reaction to him. He was practically incorporeal. Something that frightened and disturbed most proletariat around him, but was seen as simply what made him novel amongst his compatriots. Merely approaching was even an affirmation to his courtly demeanor, as his gait was genteel, and his august presence seemed to soak into the very floor at Levi's feet. The very way in which he stood was like the cornerstone pillar to a great and formidable castle.
Erwin's size seemed to engulf Levi's two-fold as he stared down his aquiline nose at the bitter creature before him. In all accounts that mattered towards humanity's future, Levi was utter perfection. But who cared for such things but the Scouting Legion themselves and perhaps a few peasants here and there? If Erwin was to get anywhere beyond the walls and touch the burning horizon like he dreamed... he would have to make Levi shine so that none could dare turn away from the shear grandeur Erwin Smith saw in him.
Without so much as a warning, Erwin's broad hands were upon Levi's lanky upper arms and pulling him upright like he were nothing more than a manikin.
"Shoulders square." He bid tersely as he released and tucked his index finger beneath Levi's jaw to coax it out, "Chin up."
Then making a wafting gesture towards himself, Erwin willed the brusque man to do as he did, "...breath deep..." his chest swelled out, showing the full contours of his battle-hardened form, "Stand tall, as if a string were pulling you upward from the top of your crown."
