[ Well. He can certainly make a lasting impression, it seems. ]

He doesn't think himself that much of a threat at the moment -- honestly, even at peak shape, he probably couldn't do much against Armor without thunderspears, or wasting a hell of a lot of blades aiming for the open parts in the joints -- but it's clear enough that Reiner isn't running on reason right now. He looks like a cornered animal, sounds like one too, and Levi has long decided pride or principles aren't worth human lives. ]
