Ah. No response. That's too bad; Erwin would like to hear the man's voice, to let him be an active participant in this. Well, maybe he'll say something once he hears what Erwin's actual plan is. He imagines he won't be pleased with it; the alternatives are simply worse.
"You've gotten quite infamous, Levi," he starts; there's no mockery in his tone however. In fact, it almost sounds impressed. "That said, your criminal career ends right here. You and your friends have two choices; you may join the Survey Corps and fight for us, starting off with a clean record, or you may refuse. In that case, we will hand you over to the Military Police, though I can't imagine they will be lenient about your crimes."
It's not really a choice. The latter option would spell gallows for all three of them -- or, perhaps, something even worse for Levi specifically, considering his type and the ideas people this far inside the walls had about rehabilitating straying omegas. Nonetheless, Erwin wants to wrench that confirmation of cooperation from him anyway. Whether or not he honors it, he will not be able to say he was forced into this.
"Regretfully, as you're aware, your type is not allowed to join the military. However, we have worked out a solution."
He can't officially be offered the same choice as the other two, but Erwin is nothing if not persistent, and with enough nights spent with his nose buried in books, he'd found just the loophole he needed.
"I, Erwin Smith, would take you, Levi, as my official mate. As such, you would have full access to our equipment and facilities like everyone else, and accompany me on expeditions should I request it."
Considering the society treated omegas as second class citizens at best, an alpha would definitely be within his rights to order them to die if they decided so. The law would allow Levi to participate in the scouts' activities, even if his gear would have to come as courtesy from Erwin. It's one he fully intends to extend, of course. Levi's skill with the 3DM gear is unlike anything he's ever seen, and if he needs to play the system to have it on his side, he will do it without a second thought.
He can't deny he would quite enjoy owning the feisty little thing in other ways, as well, but that is not his focus at the moment. The cause comes first.
