[ a quick, understanding nod -- he's never one to waste gesture when he doesn't need to, all efficiency as he is. with his various papers against Eren's gathered experience, he thinks (wryly) that he must seem rather old. but study helps to back up personal accounts, and Erwin's always had a fondness for maps anyway, especially of new, strange places.
still, he doesn't want to tarry long, and that's partially because of Eren's presence, partially because there's so much more to see, and partially because this forest is unsettling in a dark, insidious way. it sets his nerves on edge in a way the forests beyond the wall never could, deep and towering and dangerous though he knew them to be. back there, even though they'd known so little about their enemy, about their world, they'd had expectations to run on. here, in the gloom of La Llorona, he has no such security.
Eren is a far cry from the squads and captains of the Survey Corps, it's true, but he still brings a piece of it, and a companionship that Erwin is glad of right now. ]
I imagine that was in your best interests, [ he says eventually, folding papers and rising to his feet. he turns to look at Eren directly. ] Solo exploration of this place is likely inefficient. [ definitely unwise, but he's learning that could be said for so much of this land.
it doesn't detract from the thrill of discovering it, however. ]
