around the neighborhood

[Erwin has noticed the mad cleaning spree going on next door, and it is a sight that's both familiar and deeply heartwarming. He only knows one person who can kick up that much of a fuss over cleaning, and as soon as he's dressed and decent, he leaves his house and walks over.]

[He gets there just in time to intercept a smiling neighborhood lady, clearly a local, who is haranguing a very disgruntled Levi about what a fine husband he is, so sweet that he's helping his wife, such a lucky woman she is! Erwin approaches and takes her by the elbow, gently steering her away from Levi and the snarling dressing down that's almost certain to erupt any moment now.

Yes, his wife is lucky, isn't she? He learned all this in the war, you know. He kept our barracks cleaner than you can imagine.

[He really, really hopes the lady doesn't ask him for any details about "the war," since Erwin won't have any, and fortunately, she doesn't. She simpers a little and thanks Erwin for their service--he nods in solemn acceptance--and gives him a standing invitation to come over for coffee sometime before wandering off.]

[As soon as she's gone, Erwin turns back to Levi.

It appears we're neighbors again.

[And he couldn't be happier about it, in all honesty.]
