[Spotting Levi approaching, Armin straightens immediately and pockets his watch once he thinks about it. The question is straightforward enough that he has an immediate answer.]
A few hours. I've spoken with a few others about the situation so far.
[Annie, of course. The thought had been so fresh on his mind that he'd forgotten to let it slip out. Things were too mixed. Inconsistent and worrying and scrambled around as he tried to piece things together— but Bertholdt as well?
He would have to find him at some point and see how he was faring.
As for the sudden instructions and reminder of his place, he's not sure how to react in any way aside from giving the salute. His shoulders tense as his heels come together and his fist clenches, rising to rest over his heart in a sharp movement.]
Yes, sir! [He wouldn't think otherwise. He's a soldier now. He's dedicated to that. Staying in his salute, though, he hesitantly adds more.] Do you mind if I ask a few questions?
[The salute is met with a faint nod. Soldiers are easy to deal with; they have enough sense to abide by the orders their superiors lay out for them, and that's a fact that allows them to retain some sense of order even in enemy territory.
However, the question is met with an arch of his eyebrow.]
Feel free, [Levi starts.] There's no guarantee I'll be able to answer them though.

There's no organized military faction, but that doesn't excuse you from your duties as a soldier. Consider yourself on stand by until further notice.
